Parker, <BR> <BR>I do believe because of the repuation of maddenmania.com and it´s online leagues, they were give preferential treatment. They were asked to check out the game online kind of as a run through. <BR> <BR>Judging from their impressions, they seem pretty excited about it thus far. One th...

Matt, <BR> <BR>I´m terribly sorry to hear the troubles you´re having to endure with your family. Speaking personally, my mother watches my 2 year old son one day a week and it´s clearly one of the highlights of her week. She also watches my two nephews once a week as well. So, I can imagine how diff...

I was lucky enough to pick up the one and only copy at the Blockbuster during my lunch break. I´ve never finished a game except for a sports game, so why would this be any different. I´m just looking forward to playing this and seeing what all the hype has been about. Plus, it´ll hold me over until ...

For what it´s worth Matt, I´ll miss reading your posts. You´re one of a handful of people I´ve always thought to be pretty fair in what you have to say. Hope you don´t stay away too long.

By the way, what is up with their "server is too busy at the moment...try again later"? Kinda frusturating to say the least.

If you´re registered at maddenmania.com check it out. There´s a couple guys posting impresssions. One in particular posted a long ass review on page 5 of "MVP Questions for Steph".
<BR>
<BR>Anyways, reading these impressions make that wait that much longer. So beware.

In no particular order: <BR> <BR>1. Microleague Baseball - I have such vivid memories of daily updating the stats of the players on my team and watching how it played out. Also, engaging in leagues with my friends was second to none. <BR> <BR>2. Bases Loaded - To this day, still the only baseball ga...

"But I think MVP will be getting a lot more Xbox buyers now that Gamestop has changed the release date of both ASB versions to March 23rd"
<BR>
<BR>Without a doubt.
<BR>

"I´m going to check out the various files I have and try to get the best possible before sticking it on Dan´s card and sending it back out"
<BR>
<BR>Take your time Blu. Honestly, no rush. I appreciate you taking the time to try and alleviate any possible problems.

db, <BR> <BR>Just curious. As I recall last year when we all posted on SR, your main complaint about ASB was that it was too easy. More specific, the pitching was far too easy to pin point strikes and whatnot. I remember someone suggesting going in and editing the pitching abilities (accuracy, etc.)...

"Dan - Congrats on the newborn!"

<BR>Thanks.

Hey, you´re not going to see me give up breads, pastas and the like anytime soon. My metabolism is slowly catching up with me, but if you excercise and eat right that´s all that matters. I think it´s rather pathetic people think they can cut out carbs or whatever but they don´t have to excercise. Th...

I didn´t think of that. Perhaps they just set them on their nightstand.

Ohh, the article also mentions Bill Romanowski as receiving ´roids. Gee, now why doesn´t that surprise me?

I´m with Jack on this one. The "toothpick swings" are back and it just doesn´t look right. I just couldn´t stomach playing the game last year because of that as well as the zombie look of the players. To me, it´s much more of a game killer than a practice swing. Visually, it´s downright UGLY. So man...

Hmmmmm carbs. Gotta think many people might take a two or three week hiatus from their diets to enjoy these delicious treats.

Originally had ASB reserved, but I changed it over to MVP the day I picked up WE:7. There just appears to be a bigger overhaul in terms of improvement when comparing the two games. Getting it for the Xbox as I don´t envision having a whole lot of time to play online with a 2 year old and a 12 day ol...

Bonds, Giambi, and Sheffield received steroids.....Breaking News my ass!

What doesn´t excite me much is what Steve had to say on OS in his beta impressions. Basically, if you just swing without pressing up, down, to the side, etc., you will make contact with the ball. Perhaps not a solid line drive but you will connect with the ball. To me, that isn´t good.

"Since we are both in St. Louis so maybe I could get a copy of the option file after you get your card back??? I´m pretty sure we are within 15 minutes of each other. Let me know and i´ll pick up the tab for a few beers or something." <BR> <BR>Tim, <BR> <BR>I´d be more than happy to share the option...

Blu,
<BR>
<BR>Just as a FYI, my memory card went out in the mail a couple days ago. You might see it today, but more likely tomorrow. Thanks again.

but we´ve all played it. <BR> <BR>If you´re bored and have time, this is a pretty insightful article about the sport of bowling. The training involved and how the game has changed over the years in terms of conditioning. More so, the way they´re viewed by you and I, the casual fan. <BR> <BR>http://w...

Welcome to DSP. I´m approaching Fight Night with guarded optimism much like I did with MVP 2003. No boxing game has thoroughly impressed me. Rocky came close but still the lack of responsiveness has been missing in recent boxing games. Just from what I´ve read, it sounds as though Fight Night has th...

"Well I believe the default setting is like 10 minutes but I think that´s total game time. I moved mine to 15 minutes and it takes me about 20 minutes per game. Two 7.5 minute halfs...." <BR> <BR>Can anyone confirm this? I thought "10 minutes" meant 10 minutes per half. I guess I must be mistaken. I...

I believe I have mine set to 10 minute halfs. Does that sound about right? I´m able to get in a couple games pretty easily without feeling that "I just want to get this game over with".
