Intersting CNN article (sports video game related)

Heh, I stopped playing hoops as much as I used to because of gaming, especially on those cold winter nights. <BR> <BR>Video gaming probably doesn´t help the fatness of kids but I believe the nutritional problems (junk food makers are also blamed) and decline in exercise were trends long before games...

Any love for FIFA? Anyone?

I just tried FIFA on a brief GameFly rental. Played a bit of a quick match and tried going online without really knowing all the controls and I got killed, where the guy easily got passes into the box. I wasn´t really tackling or using the sprint either. <BR> <BR>Played a few games of practice and c...

That would suck but makes sense that it would want to take just the division winners and not deal with complicated tie-breakers for wild cards. So 4 divisions is the minimum? <BR> <BR>How about 4 divisions of 2 teams each? Don´t know if it´s possible but I´ve seen divisions with just 3 teams instead...

Yeah everything just worked out my way, particularly a couple of key turnovers to open the second half that turned a one-score game (14-6) into a 24-6 game halfway through the third. <BR> <BR>And I´m surprised about the passing stats because I thought I dropped back for more than 5 passes.

There´s a new one coming out or is out, to coincide with GT4. In fact, some people with GT4 Prologue apparently has the wheel. Supposedly the big difference is 900 degrees of turning?

I think the fan line stunt is too effective sometimes in ESPN. You have these hulking tackles getting a lot more sacks than they should because they can basically run around the guards, going outside and then curling back into the QB in the pocket. <BR> <BR>I understand sacking was impossible in NFL...

I don´t follow college football that closely but was the BCS really about determining the best team or just preserving the bowls? <BR> <BR>Seems like if you put in a playoff system, the bowls as they exist now or existed before won´t work.

Sounds like the Gamecast feature will be part of online leagues again. If they give a pitch-by-pitch gamecast, along with charting of pitches, that would be way cool.
