Digital Sportspage

I live in an area that averages almost 10 feet of snow per year, although we're well below that the last two winters. Pressure is on for me to deliver in the white stuff! No excuses!

I think guys should be able to use whatever assists they like. It's all fun. I was just checking on the rules.

I'm sticking with no assists. I like to drive the cars in their real-life spec.

To each their own!

Sorry I didn't finish. Had a lot going last week, and sobriety was not a premium at night! What are the ground rules for assists? All are available? I was shockingly slow -- not helped by being f*cked up when I drove! -- but noticed that I was the only one of four who had posted times at that junctu...

My only suggestion would be to go with lower-powered cars to compensate for various folks' experience and skill at the game. But I say that selfishly, as I need training wheels more than most!

Simo is right: Driver: San Francisco is an incredible game. I still play it almost weekly.

Yep, the create/share boxer feature was really cool. Shame it's gone.

But as one of the biggest boxing fans left in America, it always pissed me off when people created fighters that looked like the real thing but didn't fight anything like them!

Fight Night Champion can be a REALLY good, tactical boxing game with the right sliders and the desire to fight properly and not turn every bout into Ready 2 Rumble. The game is sh*t as a sim out of the box. Terrible. But sliders and proper approach make all the difference. Fight Night Champion also ...

LOL. Never!

does anyone have a cure for motion sickness when playing FPS games?

Multiple bong hits.

EXCELLENT news! The last Top Spin may have been the last good tennis game. When was that released, 20 years ago?

The AO Tennis and Tennis World Tour series are AWFUL, as is Matchpoint.

Yep, HLL has been on GamePass since just after the New Year, I think.

The ultimate console military FPS sim. Play it like COD or Battlefield and you will die early and often. Communication with squad mates is ESSENTIAL, as is adopting a role and sticking to it.

F1 23 -- the latest EA F1 game -- coming to GamePass Thursday. Very solid driving and racing model if you can ignore the odious story modes and F1 Life mode.

Thanks for organizing, The Donald!

Many thanks for organizing this, Don!

EA f***ed everyone over. no commercial

If a videogame publisher not announcing a game it never said it would announce equals everyone getting "f*cked over," you might want to go outside for some fresh air.

I pay $84 per month for Kinetic fiber optic, including all taxes and fees. 400 MBPS upload and download speeds. Works well for me.

You're getting ripped the f*ck off, Lancer. About the only worse company in America than Spectrum is Comcast. Both thieves.

YouTube TV is the best. But ... it is a direct cable replacement. Sure, it has nice features like unlimited cloud DVR, integrated Google search, good integration with YouTube, excellent mobile app, the ability to watch on many different devices. But if you're not sure you need cable, there's little ...

As good as The Show is (and it's the best active team sports franchise by some margin), there are parts of the MVP and High Heat franchises that were better. Miss both.

I'm in the same ship as Bill. Huge NFL fan in real life, don't care much about college football. But EA's NCAA games whipped Madden's ass in the last few years before the O'Bannon lawsuit beached the franchise.

Eager to see the reboot of college football in digital form.

I just finished writing and sending/posting the obit for INDYCAR and IMS. A stunner. Just 56. We don't have obits for "500" winners that young in the can and ready to go, nor should we.

Sad day. Gil was a true champion. Brilliant mind. Class act.

Godspeed, racer.

Have we settled on a verdict re: EA WRC 1.4, chaps? I got a £50 gift card for Christmas which was meant as a means of buying F1 23 and WRC, but some of the initial feedback on the latest WRC patch has me wondering whether to hold off. I'm all out of free trial so can't check it out for myself. I LO...

I still like competing in season mode in racing games, especially if the game is officially licensed and if there's NOT a management mode. I just want to race the entire real season against the real drivers and machines the game depicts. If the game has a management or story mode, I'll pass. I did d...

PK just ignore him, this forum is on its last legs with barely any post daily and considering that I still have him on my ignore list :) Sorry this joint is on weak legs for you. I still get information and meaningful conversations here, although the lack of activity probably reflects the point mos...

were just joking around calm down lol

Uh-huh. You said publicly you wanted to interview Dan and devised a bunch of questions for him to answer, yet you were just joking around.

What's next, oceanfront property in Saskatchewan to sell me?

For the record, do I recall saying that about Dan? No. Did I? Probably. And it was all in good fun. Dan is a great guy, and I could give two f*cks about who plays what system. "Right all along?" About what? Your preference of console is TOTALLY subjective. There is no right or wrong; it's what works...
