Albany finally stumbled into the building ...

Anyone taking in a game today? Going to ATL in a little while. Falcons favored by 7. A lot of the folks that make a living on this sort of thing are picking the Niners as the sexy pick of the week. Trap game for the Falcons and revenge factor from last year. I can buy into the trap game theory; last...

Personally I think Ferrari Challenge was much maligned, and did not really get a fair go of things from the major media/review outlets. It had two major things going against it - First up, Ferrari Challenge was not as "pretty" as Gran Turismo. That one is kind of hard to live down. Ferrari Challenge...

It's such a waste of time and effort to have the next lap invalidated early in a previous lap. Whoever thought of that decision needs to be kicked firmly in the balls several times. I have read that the developers are not going to offer DLC; maybe there will be enough complaints about this that the...

Does anyone know how you can ask for intermediate tires or wets after the race has begun. I had to restart a race because it started raining during a race but the race strategy only called for options and primes. Yes you can. I had to restart my first race because I accidentally selected intermedia...

My wife is a lawyer ... so she can earn a much better living than I can as a software development mgr. With that said, she was working a part-time practice, but with three kids, we decided to do something different. We had a choice to make - oldest son was going to private school, middle kid was goi...

Great win for the Falcons. That was intense. Why I will not let the suits at the NFL ruin the game for me. Yes it was; really a bit of a shame that it had to go to OT, but <em>on this day</em> the better team won. It is a long season, but I am going to love going into next weekend's tailgate tied f...

Thanks for the links Rodster. It has been available for pre-order for a while; I pre-ordered the PS3 version on July 10.

I am really looking forward to this one and have been watching the news, notes, videos, screen grabs, etc over the last few months. I think I am going to finally have to pick up a wheel - looking to see what I can sell to come up with the funds for a Logitech G27. Then there is convincing my wife th...

Anyone around here Falcons or Chiefs fans? Saw them last night at the GA Dome. The Falcons should be much improved on defense, and if Turner can bounce back to 2008 form, I think the offense will also be improved. In limited action, Turner did have fresh legs; last year he just looked slow. The Chie...

Speaking of blocking. Anyone else seeing pulling guards, fullbacks, etc not blocking? They will sometimes let a tackler go right past them or just stand there like they are confused. That behavior is not new. They often run downfield rather than sustain the block at the point of attack. I wish I co...

You probably have to pay off the commish to force a player injury ... not that jcalvert the mgr would ever suggest such a thing! Maybe see if Tanya Harding's entourage is available for hire?

Based on what I read, I am now interested in the game. I was just going to go Madden this year, but if the developers are going to improve NCAA's gameplay and adjust some of the Dynasty issues, I may give NCAA a go if I can find a decent deal. Would love to see some post tuning patch comments from y...

Great thread to get started! I cannot wait for the season to get started! This will be my third season in a row with Falcons tickets; upgraded a little again this year and added a fifth seat. Going to get brave and take my youngest son to some of the games this year. The Falcons' schedule will be fu...

The good news is that I was tied for 5th in the NL Wild Card race. I guess that is something to hang my hat on ... on wait ... I was also 31GB from making it!

I really have mixed feelings about the demo. It is a demo, so it is hard for me to pass final judgement. I can see some improvements in the gameplay - specifically the non-CPU controlled running game and the non-CPU controlled defensive play (epically on the d-line and the secondary). With that said...

Can I fire myself for doing such a piss poor job with Albany? I figured I would run the first season learning the league, teams, players; all the while holding .500 or better. Year two I would make a few moves. Maybe by year three or four I would be a contender. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I really should ...

Albany (hopefully soon to be Columbus) is just throwing around some money ... because it can. After mostly sitting on the sidelines last year, Albany is looking to improve pitching and maybe minor upgrades here and there to see where things land. Have to at least get back over .500.

I am back from Alberta ... I sent a note to Bill, but not the rest of the league. Next time I am away for a week I will post here or to the mailing list. I just pulled down the latest file, and attempted to export. I get - "Could not upload file. Error -201: Connect error" Any ideas? System help tel...

I wrote a series of articles about the HDD upgrade process a few months ago. Summary is here: HDD Backup and Recovery Adventure

I lost years of PSX and PS2 save files (memory cards). It was rather depressing. Make sure you do file-by-file backups of your important files.

I almost always order from amazon - not just games - pretty much anything I can because I hate to shop. This also saves me time and gas; games are waiting for me when I get home from work. Since I use prime service, I get the game quickly, and cheaply (much cheaper that shipping from ebgames, gamest...

Once upon a time I received review copies of games. Now I am just happy and grateful to have a few hours a week to play games!

If you write a review, make sure you pimp it here. I would love to read some feedback from fellow GMS.

I took off a couple of years, so I don't mind as much going OOTP10 for $29.99 and getting OOTP11 for $24.99. I know I have not gotten my money's worth from the current version, but that is another story!

I saw Bill's note that the league would not upgrade, but I decided to purchase since it was available for $24.99. Pretty good deal considering I picked up OOTPB10 for $29.99 right after the World Series! The game typically goes on sale for $10 off throughout the year, and maybe drops to $15 off (I t...

Funny - and I ended up in NY. Maybe I can sneak out the back door in the middle of the night ...
