So I've been playing around with the Yoga since Tuesday. First off let me say that I used only Mac products since 2006. I had an iMac computer and a Dell Laptop. In 2009 I went to a MacBook Pro 15" inch that's served me well since then. It's showing it's age as it's slowed down a bit and accumulated...

As a Mac guy, I just purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga. I'm turning my 15" mac into a photoshop/indesign computer and going to give this a whirl for a little bit. I don't have it yet but after messing with it in the store, Windows 8 made it easier to do the things I do the most on the Mac, check email...

I am quite happy with the iPad 4. Not sure if I see the X2 difference compared to the model released earlier this year as they advertised it but the retina screen is a thing of beauty. I played with the Mini a couple of times at the store and most likely will go for the 2nd generation next year as ...

Plus not having retina means that can introduce this next year while the iPad 4 does it's thing.

There is team specific play in FIFA this year but not sure if it's up to the PES standard. But at least it's there where it wasn't last year. Also, this year, you can really tell the difference between a high rated team vs a lower rated team at least in Season and Career mode. Swansea play like Bar...

I don't think the new deal with the refs being struck had anything to do with the call in the Green Bay/Seattle game. The real reason is that both the Steelers and Patriots lost on Sunday. NFL ain't having that! They need the refs back so the Steelers and Pats get their usual calls! :lol: As much a...

So last night I did the dreaded 5 start against the lowest rated team I could find. First Inuyasha is right sliders are needed. For a realistic game probably more tweaks are needed later. I took Man City against a lowly Irish Club team rated a half star. On default sliders the Irish team was able to...

I think 10 nailed it...

FIFA: online
PES: off

FIFA's career mode is pretty deep.

I don't know if I would call the AI in FIFA for the final two thirds anywhere near good. The midfield play is a placebo. Mostly because the defense AI just sits back leaving the midfield open. In the final third it's still too stale. I think the defense plays too rigidly and that means that all the ...

When I first got the game I played around 10 Play Now games with the Penguins on default Pro with penalties maximized and 8 min periods prior to starting a season and I had a blast. Lots of variety in scores and fantastic gameplay. I know it's a small sample size, but I started a season with the Pe...

No question the patching community and option file creators are doing an amazing job but JRod's point is still valid. It's not a particularly big deal for me personally but if there were more fake league/team slots it would be possible to create a single super patch with loads of leagues and you wo...

so the big news was that they added fantasy draft? Surprisingly one of the most bitched about missing features. I don't buy it really was but that's the claim. I've tried playing CCM-player for the last time. The stats take all authenticity out of it. As John Elway with a fantasy draft, I was draft...

This is the first time I've seen the dump and chase work, cycling the puck, and playing behind the net actually works this year. This game is total badass online!! Hence all the crying at OS. I saw one guy actually lament that onetimers were not longer easy and automatic. EA has created a pretty da...

FIFA kills PES in terms of leagues people really want. No one really wants the Copa Libradores. No one. The big five, Champions League, International Licenses are what people want. It's always been that way and FIFA knows it. It gets a bad wrap because Konami really can't do more with less. And the...

Alright, we as someone who's been playing the game since you had to import it's accurate. I laid out who is in and not. Are you implying that you're the only one who every imported the game from the UK back in the day? If so, well, you're wrong as my collection of PES and Winning Eleven games will ...

Basically think Backbreaker or All-Pro Football versus Madden. EA Sports holds the exclusive licenses for the English league. Germany I don't know what's going on there. Spain, Italy, France are in. I'm not sure about Holland. They do not have any of the lower leagues like Austria or Ireland. And t...

Played again this evening and had a "what the heck was I thinking" moment?!?!?! This game is absolutely sublime. I honestly must have been out of my mind last night when I played. Now granted, I was quite sleepy and just going through the motions. Tonight, I compared the two soccer games equally, a...

Question for the BB vets. Halfway through season 4 now and something is confusing me and perhaps I just missed the explanation somewhere. Why does the wife get her panties in a bunch about "protecting the story" over the $300 bottle of champagne or the $25K Challenger Walt bought for junior but no ...

This is more like the iPhone 4ss. I don't really think there's a lot to this. I look at iPhones because they have their cameras dailed better than most cell phones. But because I live where the fastest cell phone service is usually 1.5 years behind major cities, the LTE is pointless and iPhone 5 is ...

Aside from there not being enough penalties. Just moving the penalty slider up didn't have that much of an affect. I upped CPU penalties and CPU teammate penalties. Had one of those gaming sessions where I wasn't playing a game or the system of EA hockey but it turned into trying to winning at hocke...

CCM online plays different after the weekend. I can't say if this is just the placebo effect but it certainly feels different. Seems like the CPU is slightly better at running.

Do you guys play hardcore or just leave it on default.

On default the CPU was missing passes and played I think a more realistic style of hockey. On hardcore passes were on a string.

Marshall looked outstanding BTW :) No surprise. At least he's not in Miami trying to catch balls from Henne II. :lol: Call him Tennehill. As DB said to me on Facebook, it's a race to the bottom for AFC East quarterbacks when determining who's worse, Fitzpatrick or Tannehill. :) Why are you leaving ...

So is playing PES style defense stupid in this game? What I mean is that on defense are the AI teammates better this year and playing defense or you do have to manually select them? I played 1 game last night because of time but if I'm playing the defender and I don't switch it sure seems my defense...
