Ah, your just sore that the Orangemen aren´t in a bowl this year.
<BR>
<BR>Put Syracuse in the Pullan Weed Eater Bowl against a solid opponent like Southwest Missouri State and you would be glued to your TV. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">

What are the most compelling sports gaming questions for 2004? <BR> <BR>Here are a few of mine: <BR>What will Microsoft do with the High Heat franchise? Will we see it on the PC or the PS2 or just the Xbox? Can they do anything this year or was it too late in the development cycle when they bought t...

Doesn´t Hitchen´s have a brother in England who is as far to the right as he is to the left?
<BR>
<BR>PK, you have a point about John Ashcroft.

´As a registered Libertarian, I consider Molly Ivins to be one of the most dangerous people behind a keyboard in America today. She is stark, raving nuts with a huge agenda-based ax to grind and few suggestions for improvement other than "spend, spend, spend." ´ <BR> <BR>There are a lot more dangero...

I may get an Xbox from the wife this year. I don´t know why I turn cheap and say that I don´t need another expensive ´toy´ yet at the same time I can make the brilliant decision to get my kitchen faucet repaired because $200.00 for a new one installed is way too much money. (Repair bill on old fauce...

I see the potential for a popular new drinking game!

"It is better than in 1994 when Penn State got totally screwed out of a shot at the title (because they gave up a couple of garbage TDs in the last few minutes to Indiana and lost the #1 ranking in the polls), but it is still decided by computers rather than players." <BR> <BR>That is definately tru...

Maybe I should clarify that I have been disappointed so often by college basketball games, that the fact that one is playable and enjoyable is enough. <BR> <BR>I agree that there are some things that will eventually get to me -but with fouls turned all the way up, I am getting enough of them. But I ...

I am really enjoying College Hoops (on the PS2) a great deal. There are some issues (isn´t there in every game?) but overall having a blast. After a slow start, Sega is really winning me over. Oh, I enjoyed their DC games, but the PS2 versions sort of underwhelmed me until this year. WSB 2K4 was fla...

Well, I have now played both games and here are my initial thoughts. Keep in mind that this is based on two nights of playing ESPN and one night of March Madness. As Bill Abner would say, that is too short a period of time to base a review. This is not a review as much as a gripe session. <BR> <BR>T...

I got a chance to play ESPN last night and it is a lot better than last year. Still not sure if it will be a ´winner´ in the way that NCAA Football or ESPN Football has become for me. <BR> <BR>The player movement is a little stilted, and occasionally I find that I can´t get a shot off quickly becaus...

I tried to get the PS2 version yesterday, but couldn´t find it. <BR> <BR>On top of that, and obviously of much more importance to me, the sale of our house fell through. Not the best Friday! <BR> <BR>Bill, have fun at the game. I actually gave my FSU - NC State tickets away. With my wife and i curre...

There goes my lunch spewing into my wastebasket.
<BR>
<BR>My own fault, I thought the thread referenced Winona RYDER. My mistake. SPEW!!

Special thanks to all the veterans. <BR> <BR>Along with all veterans who have been mentioned, I would like to add my wife´s uncle Clinton Cavendish, who is currently in Iraq and previously served in Vietnam and for the past 25 years as a member of the National Guard. <BR> <BR>The reason this country...

Last year I bought all 3 college basketball games and ended up selling all 3 college basketball games on half.com because none of them were good enough to keep playing. <BR> <BR>FF 2003 was flawed in a 989 kind of way. It was actually a step down from the previous version. <BR> <BR>Sega´s game was b...

"I can see USC getting upset and a crappy Fla. St. team playing the Sooners. Oklahoma would crush them." <BR> <BR>Thankfully, that scenario went out the window on Saturday. While I am a huge Seminole fan, and feel like we have a very good defense, our offense is flawed and predictable. We also have ...

Good question. I was hoping that ESPN would come out on the 11th, so I would have a week to play the one and play wait and see on the March Madness game. <BR> <BR>My hope is that the final product for ESPN is much improved over the demo. That was true of ESPN NFL where the demo was knowhere near as ...

Congratulations!
<BR>
<BR>I know being apart is not going to be fun, but just keep telling yourself that it is temporary. My wife is working in Columbia, SC right now and I am back in Atlanta metro working at my job and selling the house.

I still play some old PC games (Thief, Thief2) and once in a while break out NCAA 99 for the PC.
<BR>
<BR>I still play Virtua Tennis and Crazy Taxi on the DC on occasion.

The next jump needs to be in graphics. Sega really jumped passed them with their ESPN games this fall. ESPN NFL Football looks a whole lot better than Madden/NCAA. I think that the sports gaming leader for pride alone would fix this next year.

Actually I am back in Atlanta metro, but I went south to see my Seminoles play against the hated Hurricanes. <BR> <BR>Let me just say up front that I have been a Seminole fan for years and have had season tickets since 93. Let me also say that I have come away disgusted only twice. Last year against...

Hey, I´m 42. You guys are all kids!

I had almost the opposite feeling. Keep in mind that I love NCAA Football and it ranks as my favorite game - but after going back to it after playing ESPN, it felt weird and the player motion looked awkward and the player models continually reminded me that I was playing a game. <BR> <BR>What I love...

Well, the good news is that adjusting the sliders does make a difference. I just went way to far and turned down the accuracy slider (or whatever it is called). There were 3 missed extra points by the AI, so I guess I need to ´fine tune´ things a bit. If I find a happy medium, I will let people know...

Would editing the kickers do any good at keeping the field goal percentage down? This is my major problem with the game at this point. Since there are virtually no blocks, and the AI team never misses a kick, it makes this part of the game the weakest link to a fine, fine sports game. I tried single...
