Vips already is quicker than Daly despite the latter having been in the series for 10 years.

Only a guess - but the Foyt cars kicked Penske’s asses in qualifying at the 500. Roger sure would like to know how… That would make quite a lot of sense... I did think, after the last few races of the season, that RLL signing Juri Vips would make a lot of sense. Today's announcement that Pietro Fit...

these 2/3 days of free games were enough. I've had my fill. no need to buy any of these games now. LOL. Yep. These weekend trials deter more sales than promote. I think the ratio of the number of times I've tried a free weekend game and said, "Yep, I'm not buying that," is about 15:1 compared to th...

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!

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. That won't change even with the X. what? really who is this? give PK his account back you thief! The PK I knew would buy physical and then sell them ...

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...

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...

Newcastle 4, PSG 1. HOWAY THE LADS!

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.

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...

So you were indeed HIGH last night during Dragon’s night when you were cursing at the game.

Yeah, it was a day that ended in "ay."

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...

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 ...

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...

P.S.: You f*ckers were right, as usual. I took your advice, sold a pair of audiophile headphones and got a Series X instead of an S. The X is a magnificent machine. Really enjoying the faster load times, faster download speeds due to better network card (I downloaded a 14 GB game last night in under...

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...

I wonder if the gamepass versions are still there to play : fifa 23, fifa 22, etc..

FIFA 22 and 23 are the only titles in the franchise still available on GamePass.

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 ...

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...

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!
