Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Man, I was spoiled by starting with a free VIP version of Forza Motorsport 7, with every available car in my garage at launch. Now I cringe when I look into my garage and see only four cars. :)

Loving this game, warts and all!

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Forza Motorsport -- HOLY F*CK, this is what I expected next-gen games to look like. Jaw-dropping visuals. Stunning.

it'll go on sale for $40 at the end of October at some retailers like Target for a week's time. Thanks, but I stopped buying physical discs long ago.

Re: NHL 24

Played the trial of NHL 24 last night on my new X. Same sh*t, different year. Another year of terrible offline EA hockey. It's almost like the CPU and human teams are playing different games. The CPU always forechecks with way more speed and tenacity than human teams. My CPU-controlled defenders wo...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Anyone else going to be on Forza Motorsport (8) tonight on early release? Nope. I'm not paying for four or five days' early play time for a game that will be released free next Tuesday on GamePass, if I understand that "perk" of buying the game correctly. Trust me: I love Forza. I played FM7 perhap...

I'm not Lancer, but my only beef with Madden 24 is that it's pretty damn easy to run.
Have you played it since launch? running is a bit less over powered after a few patches.
Played it last night. Had no problem running the ball, and either did the CPU against me.

Re: Madden 24 'Make or Break'

I'm not Lancer, but my only beef with Madden 24 is that it's pretty damn easy to run. Everyone moaned -- accurately -- that running was too tough in Madden 22. So, in classic EA style, the developers have swung the pendulum too far in the other direction in Madden 23 and especially Madden 24. No dif...

Re: EA FC 24

The more I play this, the more I like it. As DB said, EA finally has listened to those complaining about predictable, seemingly scripted gameplay and introduced a whole new level of random results into this game. Take last night, for example. I played an Argentine League match as Estudiantes against...

Re: eFootball 2024

Think what he's trying to say is any games that are older titles without the enhancements can be played from any old external USB drive. You can plug it in and install all the old stuff and play games from it. So if you go spend 25-30 bucks on one you can just download a ton of older stuff and bene...

if you have an external HD that you installed your games from your xbox one you can directly hook that up to your Series X and play games off it right away. No need to trasnfer any files. Thanks. My old external HD went to Colorado with my son. But I also have fiber-optic internet with download spe...

Since you have a X now with Gamepass U FIFA 23 is good enough to last you the year. That's always my mojo with EA Sports games. I haven't bought one new since I became an EA Play member about five years ago. That's the whole purpose of Play for me. Plus, EA Sports hasn't released a new game in the ...

Re: eFootball 2024

Yep, I have already filled my 1 TB drive with about 16 games. They're all X/S or enhanced games, as I want to make the most of the graphical enhancements, which are fantastic. The lighting, especially. I enjoy MS Flight Simulator but not enough for it to consume a quarter of my drive. So, I'll stick...

Really enjoying the faster load times, faster download speeds due to better network card (I downloaded a 14 GB game last night in under...

Re: EA FC 24

My initial impressions of FC 24: The game does feel a lot more random than in past years, as DB said. But it also feels faster and more arcadish, with power shots abounding, as Adam said. FC 24 appears to be a conundrum. It's fun, without a doubt. It's less scripted than in the past, with more misse...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

As per Forza, the game has my favorite track (Road America) and my favorite race car of all time (Audi Quattro ISMA). So I am pretty excited! Hopefully the car/track are not hidden behind a paywall or a massive grind. I haven't played Forza since the 360. Do they give you all the cars like Project ...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Any Forza "8" hype around here? It's hardly a sim, but it seems like they're saying all the right things in their press releases. I downloaded Horizon 5 and it's pretty fun. The commentary is dreadful, but the actual arcade driving is pretty mindless and fun. Hopefully Forza "8" can come close to t...

Re: Starfield

As an avid racing gamer, I would happily pay extra for haptic feedback in a controller, while the adjustable triggers and remappable buttons of the current Elite controller don't do much for me.

Horses for courses!

Oh, I'm sure I'll try it. You had me at FREE. :) But I'm without an Xbox right now. My son just moved to Durango, Colorado, for a job, and I gave him my 9-year-old OG Xbox One as a going-away gift. He only plays three game series -- PGA Tour 2K, Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs, but he loves them and...

Re: Starfield

Appreciate it, Paul! Is the default Xbox controller sufficient, or is it worth it to grab a pro? The Pro controller is a total waste of money, IMO. Have you had one? I've had both, along w the core and they are fantastic. Being able to modify all the buttons and dead zones and pair that with it bei...

anyone play this yet? I think it's still free on all consoles. Looking for feedback on next gen PS4/XBX
If last year's game was any indication, I'd rather drag my balls through broken glass.

Konami's fall from the peak of soccer gaming is sad. A mere shell of its past glory.
