Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 23/24

I guess that's fine if their board, players, and supporters are judging success by their balance sheet. I understand the advantages that Bayern have, but Dortmund haven't won the league in over 10 years. I understand their model, but my point was more than just that. Haaland was productive there. Be...

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 23/24

It's a bit of an indictment of Dortmund that he's been such a start right out of the gate at Madrid.

Re: Starfield

For what it's worth, I think their implementation of New Game+ is pretty slick. I'm on my 5th playthrough at this point, and I'm finding that I'm playing more like "the character" and less "like me" with each run I make. Pretty wild. Terry my friend, it's good to see that as much as things change h...

Re: OT: New Music?

It's gotten really terrible. I've seen so many artists talk about how they were so enthusiastic to get back on the road after COVID and they're so disappointed by the experience because of behavior like this from fans. Not entirely sure how it improves. The reaction to Miranda Lambert stopping her s...

Re: OT: Hogwarts Legacy

Appreciate the short summary, Terry.

I've sort of played it alongside my daughter so far, and only for about an hour or so. It is pretty slow to open up, for sure. But I'm excited to start my own game and get to the point where things open up. It's undeniably beautiful and immersive.

I got the same set (65”) about two months ago and it is an incredible set. Love the Game Optimizer settings. The picture is superb. This is my first OLED so I was, and still am, blown away by the set.
Same. It's incredibly good. It's ruined every other TV in the house, though.

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

With a full day to process things after the US loss, I am now a bit at 6's and 7's about how to feel about the campaign. By and large, I think the conventional wisdom is correct. The youth and inexperience of the team means that a loss in the knockout stage against a perennial power is an adequate r...

Re: Who's left from Sportsreviewers on here 22 years later?

I was there and I'm still here. Something to be said for that I guess.

Those of us who have been around since the internet was good are definitely the Old Breed at this point.

The good news is that this is *finally* the year they get Madden fixed, right? :lol:

Haven't posted in a while. My bad, but having to go into suspended animation between matches doesn't leave me much time.

Feels like Liverpool have been playing Stanley Cup Game 7's every day for the last month and the end is hardly in sight.

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 20/21.

I think a lot of what you saw was due to Mancini making tactical adjustments in the first half, and especially at halftime. Verratti ended up shifting wider and disrupting the connections between England’s right side and the excellent duo of Phillips and Rice in the center. Chiesa ended up roaming ...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

Playing on Pro-Am. I started on Pro bc I've played plenty of TGC over the last few years, and it was a bloodbath. But even on Pro-Am I've got crazy swing tempo issues and wild, and honestly seemingly random, putting inconsistency.

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

I have given this game plenty of run, and I'm just going to put it away for a little.

Either the game is broken or I am, and it's not worth my banging my head against the wall to figure out which is which.

Bill Harris pretty much sums up my attitude toward this whole upcoming generation of consoles. Is it a crotchety old man position? It is. Is it demonstrably fair given the evidence from both companies? Yes. Anyway, Bill's list of accurate launch day titles: Square Enix Presents Crystals Fighting Cry...
