Wow, now I can see why FSU wouldn't give Bowden one more year. Great game against Oklahoma! Hope those trustees are happy!!

What a great match! I am not even that big a tennis fan, but this match kept winning out over the football games and the Braves. Great stuff.

I have to post about the fact that at every road stop this year before the last game of the series at each stop, the home teams have acknowledged Bobby Cox and his upcoming retirement. Except, of course, the Florida Marlins. What a completely classless organization. I imagine it has to do with the M...

Don't forget Georgia Tech - while you can beat GT if you have time to prepare, how would Boise do playing home against FSU one game and then going to Atlanta the following week to play against that offense?? Since we will never get a playoff, I would be satisfied with an "and one" BCS. At least that...

I noticed a big change after the first tune file. I may have to drop my slider settings and start over. It is a lot of fun to play a football game where you can get beat by a running team. I remember the first thing people would do in the old days would be to fire up the game and play against Nebras...

I agree that this version of Madden is more 'boom or bust' and it does knock down the fun factor. For me, it is more fun to earn a TD rather than hit a wide open receiver with no safety within a mile of the ball. The game also suffers from an oversimplified and almost pointless special teams game. I...

If there is a new Backbreaker, I would suggest they come out early autumn in 2011. It will be interesting to see how a much improved (a big assumption) game would do against Madden during a lockout. Of course, the NFL players and owners could reach an agreement, but I am something of a pessimist whe...

I hated the demo at first, but it started to grow on me. I could not run the ball, but that may be the Colts offense against the Jets defense. Passing was easy - a combination of Manning and Pro level. It took a while to get a feel for the game, but it started to grab me after a while. Considering t...

Actually, most writers don't get any more royalties from ebooks than from printed books. Which is why some writers have been taking back the rights to their backlists and selling the books on Amazon themselves. Amazon has a 70% writer rate for ebooks priced between 2.99 and 9.99. The math is pretty ...

Speaking of authors, Brando doesn't your wife have a new book coming out this fall? Hope it makes it to Kindle so I can buy it.

You guys can complain about the bug post on Operation Sports all you want but imagine having a tight game in Dynasty in week 2 between FSU and Oklahoma. I am playing as FSU. Winning 16-10 with about 3.5 minutes to go in the 4th. The Sooners score - but MISS THE EXTRA POINT!!! I am pumped about my ch...

He is a FREE AGENT and can go where he wants. BUT --it is not WHAT he did, it is HOW he did it. He strung Cleveland along and then made a fool of them on ESPN. He also strung along the other teams he met with during this 'decision'. The whole thing is just bad for sports. He sure has a lot of ego fo...

If this was happening when Bush was in office, I would have been all over him and pointing out that both he and Cheney were both Texas oilmen. But the sad truth is that Obama is not handling this any better than the previous administration would have handled it. In fact, it is hard to imagine that B...

I agree that is it nice to play a Rockstar game as a good guy for a change. I am still digging into the game, but I like what I see so far.

There were a few things I had not seen when I went a couple of years back. First, I went to the Vietnam Memorial. If you don't have someone you know, then pick a last name and do a search. I was fortunate not to have lost any friends or family, but I searched on "Parsons", picked a soldier and found...

Sad. Thoughts out to his family.

When he would do his "Lima Time" stuff, I never saw it as boasting, but more as entertaining. One of those people who added to the game. He will be missed.

Glad you are doing better! Get well soon.

It looks like they upped the graphics on the field and blurred the background. Hard to tell much about the gameplay from one video that shows mainly replay angles. If they give the game some of the Madden treatment from last year I will be happy with it. No hate from me.

My major concern with the IPad is that it comes with such a small amount of hard drive space yet there does not seem to be any easy way to easily connect it with a large library of music and or video. The lack of USB is another limitation. It seems like Apple wants you to buy the IPad and then immed...

I would experiment with the contact settings. I have actually lowered them for human hitting and I think it actually improves hitting by getting rid of some of the poor contact swings that result in weak fly balls or ground balls. I have been having more fun with this game - it is at the top of my r...

They can't use player names if the player has not played in at least one ML game - which is why some player names are not showing up even though they are getting a lot of time in spring training games. I have not had my 360 roster update for about a week (and i have this option turned on) so I suspe...

Speaking of playing as the Braves, is there a legal reason that Jason Heyward is not on the Braves roster in MLB 2K10? I thought I saw some mention that a player has to play in a ML game on a ML roster before they can be added to the game. Is that true? Because as of now, he is the Braves starting r...

I had read that the AI for "player of the game" was a little off, but I had a laugh after playing a game today. Yankees won 2-1 on a 2-run HR by ARod. Jeter went 3 for 4. Pitching was excellent all the way around. Posada went 0-4 with 3 K's. Was named player of the game. What was funny was that batt...

Unfortunately, this game still has some of the same problems as previous games in the series - low scoring. A low scoring game should be a treat - tight fingered and filled with managing decisions. Part of the problem is the starter energy bug where you wear down the AI starter and suddenly he is ba...

One thing bothering me at this point is that there are too many low scoring games. I guess it is time to mess with the sliders....
