I don't know if anyone here has heard about rFactor, but just last night a new mod was released for this PC game. If you enjoy racing, you need to have a look at rFactor, if you already haven't. Besides the Lienz mod, released yesterday, other mods include an F3 mod, a Stockcar mod, and a few others...

Anyone have an interest in an online league? I'm thinking of maybe 12 players, possibly in three divisions of four. I'm also thinking that I want the league to be one in which everyone plays normally. None of this grabbing the star player and trying to dominate by running him up and down the court. ...

A few more observations. In the games that I have played, there aren't enough fouls called. I play 9 min. quarters and there are roughly 10-15 called a game, with foul sliders max. I don't see this, but you'll need to have more than one game under your belt to see if there are more fouls. With the ...

"Will they please just go away now?" If you go away, so will they. After all, the public makes these things happen. If the public shows no interest (demand), then there is no such product (supply). "... without the effort of writing books." Do you actually think that the people who are involved in h...

How is that game? I always see it on sale at Fry's. Is it playable with a gamepad? I don't want to have to spring for a wheel just for one game. Lemme know and maybe I'll pick it up. Thanks, Toper I think the game is good. At Simulation level, it can be somewhat difficult. But practice always makes...

Still looking to start some sort of weekly league race (informal), if anyone is interested.

Post here if you are.

Tim, What are your specs for you PC. I find this game is not by any means a system's hog. My system is three years old: Penitum 4 2.3 ghz with 512 RAM and a GeForce 5700, along with an 18" FP display. The game runs pretty well, surprisingly well. But of course you're going to have to make the final ...

Didn't find it at Gamestop. I heard that it was originally an online purchase, although a quick search led me to numerous reviews...no online purchase/downloads. Is it a boxed-copy-only deal? As far as I know, GTR was never a strickly online purchase and never was a part of any direct-download deal...

Can you grab GTR at a place like Gamestop, or is it an online only thing? I haven't seen it anywhere yet, but I'm about to run out to Gamestop anyway soon. I found it at an EB games here in Ohio, around Cleveland. I hear also that it has been spotted at Best Buy. If you go to the EB games website a...

Cool. Say, drop over to

multiplayer forum, and add your name to the GTR interest post.

We have three or four right now.

Thanks,

I got GTR about a week or so ago. It's a fine simulator.

Is there any interest around here for racing GTR? If so, I'd like to join in or start my own server.

Thanks,

I got Forza the day of release and like the game very much. I started a club, called Ohio_State. It's for all Ohio State football fans or for fans of Big Ten football in general. If anyone is interested in joining up (for group racing and all, competitions), drop a line here with gamertag and I'll a...

I absolutely hate the Browns, but I never like to see injuries. It would have been fun to see some Browns/Steelers matchups this year with both teams at full power, but the Browns are battered and the Steelers have lost Simmons and Maddox already. I am really surprised that Courtney Brown has been ...

What a bummer. I'm not so upset about Courtney Brown being lost. He's never contributed much. But think of it, in one Sunday, the Browns lost three first-round picks. Two of the three have not performed at all; Winslow, however, is going to be good. And to think of it, if that guy wouldn't have been...

"No doubt man. I really see the Gophers winning the Big Ten title outright. " Every year Minnesota does the same thing. They win big until it comes time to play Michigan and Ohio State. Then they lose, go on a tail-spin, and barely are able to make a bowl game. As for OState, I think Ross ought to s...

Garcia looked good and so did Winslow. Though I despised Winslow when he played for Miami, now that he's a Brown I love the guy to death. I love sports fans like yourself. What the hell kind of statement is that? If you don't like him you don't like em. Make a f'n decision. My statement is simple, ...

Baltimore is clearly overrated. They looked terrible. Boller will not take them anywhere. The Browns looked decent, and that was enough to beat the Ravens handily. Baltimore isn't going anywhere if they can't even compete with Cleveland. It was definitely a huge win for the Brownie fans. I disagree...

HUGE win for the Browns. Lewis 60 yards rushing. woo hoo Yeah, that win was a great one. Not much happened in the first half, but then Buller (he's not a very good QB) started to make mistakes and the Browns capitalized. Garcia looked good and so did Winslow. Though I despised Winslow when he playe...

"I could care less about College Football in week 3. I don't really care if OU can beat Texas or if Notre Dame can beat Ohio. Come around bowl time, maybe I'll watch a game or two." I love college football. Maybe your problem is that I doubt Notre Dame has ever played "Ohio"-- whoever that is. :) "N...

I've noticed a definite reduction in the amount of shmaltz in NBC's coverage this time around. I think I caught one biography piece so far, but that's it. Most of the storylines for the athletes are being discussed by the commentators over the actual competitions. Anyone else seeing the same thing?...

I have never really followed the sport but am very suprised to see USA losing, bad fundamentals? For those who can tell me whats up, whats going on here?? There was a thread on this in here talking all about it not too long ago. The players on Team USA are just fine. It's just that the days of thro...

I'm playing much better on AM level using the Madden LONG camera angle. I can read the defense much better and actually see my open recievers. Hit Faulk in the open for an 87 yard TD in a game today. By far my best play with Madden 2k5. I also don't see any speed cheats on the AM setting. Faulk pul...

Stripping the ball - Hold down the black button to try and strip the ball I've seen a few people mention "shifting formations". Waht is that and how do I do it? I checked out the offense in Madden 101 and didn't see it mentioned. This isn;t just sending a guy in motion, is it? If you look on page 7...

"I agree with PK but it looks like the LB's and DB's in Madden just cheat. I'll have guys open and lead them with the ball and just before the ball gets there the DB gets super speed and then a super jump (this is with his back to the ball) to knock it away. Or the LB will warp at super speed in the...

My second Xbox, a refurbished unit that's also a Thompson, has crapped out on me after a mere four months. Tech support says I'm still under warranty, miraculously, which I'm sure is bullcrap but they are probably instructed to say that when a customer utters the magic word, "Thompson". So, back to...
