Ken Dorsey better than Brady Quinn . Probably...what exactly has the king of all hype done in the NFL?...I mean besides steal money? I am better than Ken Dorsey! They rated Dorsey an 84 in HC. That equates to "solid NFL QB" in game definition. When did Ken Dorsey become a solid NFL QB? As for Quinn...

I don't really play the WE series and I like a lot of things about life. Cookies are good. Wow I guess that F Abner thing wasn't tongue in cheek. :lol: I am not an "extreme simhead." I just want the fundamentals of a sports game to work and in this day and age I don't think that is asking too much. ...

F Abner. All the guy has to do all day is play videogames. Nice but if I did that, I would overanalyze everything too. Damn! That's a bit harsh! :lol: I really don't think he would be man enough to make that statement face to face, it's easy to talk smack on the internet where there are no conseque...

It is not surprising that EIDOS would do this (from personal experience) but it is surprising that GSpot would.

Disagree. With 2 at-large bids determined by a similiar formula we have now, SOS would be a major factor if you don't win your conference. Besides with WVU, Ohio St, Mizzou and Kansas in prime spots for a National Title, the groundwork has already been layed. Schedule a series of cupcakes out of co...

That '94 Penn State team was just plain ugly. Man, what a great, great team. Anyway, yeah, every conference feels slighted, no doubt. The SEC fan thinks their conference is akin to the NFC East and should get special treatment come BCS time. The Big10 fan gets tired of being told all their teams are...

Well, that's REALLY initial. Like 3 games. But I did *love* 2K7. I'm of the opinion that a great game needs to be followed up by a really great game to warrant another 60 bones. I need to play it a lot more and maybe tweak a few settings. The sim engine is better. That was a big issue with 2K7 for m...

I'm no graphics whore but after NBA 2K8 this looks ...old. Even on my swank new 60" Sony it's not all that impressive looking. I also hate the default help defense as the CPU gets open 3 pointers (and makes them) way too often. I've also had five 3-pt shots blocked by guards because it takes players...

I plan on picking this up as I have had a great time with prior versions. Am fairly new to the 360 and was wondering about updating names. I had the Action Replay for the Xbox which worked great for rosters. Does the 360 have something similar or is there another way to get all of the players names...

Actually, Bill, it's kind of too bad you can't rip your dad in a review. It would cement your legend/notoriety among some as the most ornery game reviewer out there! :lol: Dad asked me if I was going to review the game and I told him, "You probably don't want me to do that."

Sweet. I have been dying for a really good NFL Text Sim. Bill, when you can, keep us up to date with details of the game. It IS all fictional, of course. You can upload custom team logos, etc. The main detail I know is that my dad calls me 5 times a day asking if a down and distance playbook call m...

Deep Route Football Needs Beta Testers!

Just an FYI. A new online text-based NFL football sim, Deep Route, needs beta testers to help test the league functionality. It's easy to sign up, and you'll be asked to provide feedback and look for bugs, etc. You'll be auto registered for the forums. You can sign up at http://deeproute.com or go t...

What makes Oklahoma better than USF or BC? I agree that the Big East is not what we thought and the ACC is as weak as it was last year, but I would not go touting the Big 12 as a better conference. I certainly don't feel sorry for Oklahoma for losing at home to Colorado or for LSU for having more t...

Yeah there are several house rules to fiz this sort of thing. But sometimes KG gets the ball at the HIGH POST and I press the shoot button and he takes off toward the rim. The guy is just a flat out beast in this game.

I'd be loving it too if the CPU could stop Garnett from scoring 50 a night. Post defense is really, really, bad in this game. Even when calling for the double-team? Garnett is a load one-on-one, but is it still broken with a guard dropping down to dig the ball out? Just curious... Kevin If the AI w...

Yeah, I read about your issues with Garnett over at OS. That's too bad, and unfortunately one of those things you can't ignore once you notice it. I'm playing with the Bulls, who lack a real post scoring threat, so I haven't run into those issues. I can't rave enough about the offensive AI. I've pl...
