To turn off the cursor, go to controller and it is an option there. It is called something like 'batters eye." It is hard to use both batters eye to guess location, then use the left stick in the fraction of a second after batters eye disappears to use the stick to pull or go the opposite way, and s...

Actually, I played 1 inning of the demo this morning before i went to work. I don't know if this game will have a way to save a game during the middle of the game, but I think it will need it. The inning I played took some time because of the number of pitches and foul balls, etc. Frankly, it is imp...

watching that gameplay video a few positives jump out at me - for example, even with sliders adjusted i never saw the AI pitcher throw that many balls in an inning. Hell. in some games i did not see that many balls thrown. It looks a lot smoother but I would have liked to have seen a fly ball. The w...

It makes sense that the college games would go - too many teams means too many artists designing courts/stadiums/uniforms etc. And God forbid that a team update their uniforms and it doesn't make it into the game! The OS forums would be in an uproar. Higher maintenance and less interest than the pro...

This is a game that has me wishing I had a PS3. I liked the last game they put out on the Xbox/PC and would love to give this one a shot.

Maybe I will go for it and get this game and the Show this spring......

I would guess they are going for the same setting because they want to get the game out in 2010, so the time spent on the game is somewhat limited. I forget where I read that but it was one of those articles about how the big game publishers are sticking with the big franchises and dropping the lowe...

A sports game that you can pick up and play and enjoy for a few weeks without even thinking once about sliders, patches or updated rosters. EA's NHL game is the one that has come closest to me - slider changes are necessary but pretty standard as far a just slowing down the game and increasing the p...

Part of me would like to see the next game in London. It would be fun to climb St Pauls, the Tower and London Bridge. Not sure what time period I would set the game.

I am liking this game so far. Since it is a sequel, there is not the thrill of discovery like the first time around, but I quickly found myself getting into the "just one more bit of discovery before I call it quits." Also, based on the deceptions of the first game, I have decided to take nothing at...

And I am not adverse to books over 9.99 - for example I bought "Gotham" the 1000 page book about NY on the Kindle even though i own it in print. But it is just too small print and too heavy and big to be practical. I guess what really bugged me in this whole thing was seeing the Steve Jobs interview...

I posted a long post about publishing and newspapers and their failings only to lose it when I tried to post when my internet connection went down. Suffice it to say that i don't like to see people lose their jobs, but when an industry fails because they continue to make the same mistakes and lack i...

After an initial fan boy appreciation of the IPad, I am starting to see it for what it is - a closed system Apple product that has a deceptively low price point. When you look at what the IPod doesn't have, such as a USB port or an SD Memory card slot, it appears that Apple wants a closed system. Or...

Forget McGraw Hill - the publisher soon to be dead is Macmillan. The IPad and Steve Jobs have, in their own way, started the war between the publishers and Amazon. Macmillan wants to control their own ebook prices and feel like the IPad is enough of a lever to give them a shot. Amazon fired back by ...

The only person to have a worse Monday that Favre was Chemical Ali. I doubt he will come out of retirement.

I hope they fixed the hitch in the AI fielders motion. It just looked so unnatural watching the outfielders catch a fly ball.

The first amendment doesn't apply to the NCAA. The NCAA is an entity unto itself. And believe me, if I could do something about the NCAA, what kids do with their eye black would be way down the list. Religion is a big part of college football. But I think most programs handle the religious aspect wi...

Well written article. I hope 2 things - one is that the players get more money. While I think that baseball and basketball players are overpaid, it is troubling that the sport that comes with the most risk comes with the least amount of pay. Also, I hope that the players use some of the new found mo...

I can list a few PC games that got me started in gaming: FPS Football - My wife got this at Target out of the bargain bin. First PC and first PC game in 1993/04. Loved it and then got 95 and 96. I think my favorite was 97 because you could use custom plays in AI gameplans. I used a few cheat plays i...

Tim Horton's was my most visited place in my fall trip to western NY. I even got a tin of coffee to take back to the dirty south. Funny that this thread showed up yesterday when 2 of the 4 people (including me) with my title at work got let go in favor of an outsourcing firm in India. I was kept, bu...

i think that people hate the press falling all over Tebow more than the man himself. Not a Gator fan but I have to admit that he lived up to the hype. Can't argue with his record or accomplishments. I think that we need to be ready to the hype machine to head a little north next year and focus on th...

I sure hope it is more than an Iphone on steroids. How the heck would you pick that thing up and hold it comfortably in your lap? As for reading, there are 2 issues. One is how do you create something backlit that does not cause eye strain. As for bringing newspapers and magazines to a tablet, the o...

Another recent Sugar Bowl had WVU running all over the field against Georgia. I would not crow too long or too hard. Agree that the officiating in the Outback Bowl was horrible. Of course the announcers and TV crew were pretty bad also. Nice way to blow the final play and basically miss the end of t...

Well, my second 360 got the RROD on New Year's morning. I towel tricked it back into service but I guess it is just a matter of time.

The RROD warranty is three years? I guess i will call today.

Interesting read Jack. I just think it is a little warped to react that way to a loss. It just seems to be a major overreaction to behave that way with all of the self blame and obsession. It doesn't sound like Meyer could handle a 2 or 3 loss season much less a 4 or 5 loss season. I took a look at ...

It looks like dark days ahead for sports games - I would not be surprised if we don't see any NCAA basketball game next year. The sales for EA's game have been slow enough that there will be no patch - which it needs. My last 3 dynasty games have froze - naturally all of them with less than 10 minut...
