Re: Madden 25?

The bottom line is I'm not their target audience anymore. Truth be told 90% of gamers could care less if penalties were called and most would b*tch if they lost a game on a DPI call and call it the cpu cheating. Imagine if a scenario similar to the Jet / Pats game from yesterday happened to you in ...

Watch and soak it in. There isn't a better dramatic performance or more of an indelible character that I can think of in any medium, ever.

Re: MLB 13 The Show

This is always the "event" game for me year in and year out, so needless to say, I'm counting the days. One thing that has me a little curious is the opening up of the hitting timing to generate offense. I know why they did it, but to veterans of the game like myself, I thought the game was tuned to...

Re: Madden NFL 13

Its a shame, because by all accounts, knowledgeable & passionate people want to make this a good game but something gets in the way of that in the whole process.

The game just scratches the surface of what a really solid NFL game should be in 2012.

Really enjoying the improvements made to the gameplay with the new patch.

If you had this one on the shelf for a while, try it again with the update.

Re: MLB 12 The Show

There are some new screen shots over at OS. Can't really tell much difference though. Looks very nice of course. Agreed. Although, I can't remember the last time a screen shot for a sports game impressed me, especially when you consider how long this generation of consoles has lasted. Excited about...

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

That is crazy big as the map in San Andreas is HUGE! I hope they make travel between points less cumbersome. That's part of the beauty of the three-character system. Each one kind of stays in their general area, and you can jump between them whenever you want. This would eliminate a lot of the trav...

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I wasn't especially clamoring for this one, though I've played & enjoyed them all since GTA III. But I was really impressed. The look of the game is really something, & the sheer size of the map sounds incredible. And Rockstar really knows how to put to together a story. I'm excited to see the way t...

Fair enough, Detroit.

Now go &$@& the Cardinals until their $&@! falls off and use that $&@? for batting practice.

Re: What sports game is getting the short end of the stick.

You both gave the typical answer I see from Show fans whenever someone isn't 100% glowing about that game. I like the game a lot and love how it represents the sports but what exactly did they do this year that was worth $60. What in this years version had you saying I could never go back to the pr...

Re: NBA 2k13

I'm also a little turned off by the inside play this year. It appears to be a little too easy on both sides to get into the paint and score, resulting in high PiP numbers on both sides.

Re: What sports game is getting the short end of the stick.

I also think I am done with my yearly show upgrades. The game just doesn't improve enough year to year to warrant the price. Most of that is because it is a stellar game but IMO The Show has defined the term roster update for the last 2 years. That's funny you say that because I feel like The Show ...

Re: NBA 2k13

I definitely wouldn't go out and purchase another console just to play it on the Xbox. Over the past couple years, the game has really come in to its own on the PS3. It's probably a little bit cleaner/sharper on the 360 (a little less jaggies) but it's really miniscule now. I'm sure there will be a...

I have played past NBA 2K games and have really enjoyed them. Each one I have played has been the XBox version. My son has taken the XBox up to college, so my question is has anyone played the PS3 version of this game? Is it virtually the same? I know sometimes games seem to play better on a certai...

Re: Madden NFL 13

This version of Madden seems better, but there's still something very generic about playing the computer. The AI doesn't play to team strengths the way that it should. It often makes terrible play calls on both sides of the ball. I enjoy the mechanics of playing the game, especially running the bal...

It's does feel different, I'll give EA that. Someone here likened the new art style to something akin to a comic book or cartoon and I'll agree with that. It's not bad -- there are moments, especially when the lighting is right, when the game looks great. But I can understand if the graphics aren't ...

Re: The really great TV thread

Thematically, MM feels like a show that is really winding down, so it's kind of interesting to consider there are two more seasons. Not sure where they go from all the "Is this all there is?" malaise of the season. They should just do what The Sopranos would do when it needed a shot in the arm and i...

Mine will come solely down to the fact that I've bought it ever year since 1990 and I can't break tradition.

I do feel like there are 'offensive conditions' to a given game. Doesn't mean it's true, but yeah. Yeah, and I know a lot of people have brought up comeback AI or "the game cheats to win", and that's not really what I'm saying. I guess I'd be curious to see how it all stacks up against real life.
