Gamespot disses the PC's franchise mode when the 360's franchise mode is basically crap on a stick. Odd.

Thanks. You guys did a lot of the legwork, too, though. I appreciate the submitted questions. I'm keeping the $$ though. Sorry.

And yeah, he did a helluva job in promoting the game in that piece. I now really, really wanna see it more than ever.

Thanks Bill. Do you know exactly what Reelmaker is all about, apparently an exclusive on the marketplace. Any ideas how to umlock the new uniforms as they are unveiled, I understand EA is using a code, hope we don't have to wait for 2K9 to see them. Keep dreaming about your Blue Jackets. :wink: No,...

Still only throws it about 30 yards, and the guy is VERY inaccurate...like, won't even throw it close to the receiver usually. As for tacked on, it's not like they put a focus on these players like they do in Madden. You actually have to highlight the weapons to see who is what, it just doesn't sho...

Ohh...so it looks sweet on the Dell widescreen? Last gen engine doesn't bother me at all. I liked the PC version last year a lot more than the next gen versions anyway. Feature wise, is it the same? The weapons, the player highliting on defense, etc? It looks ridiculous on the widescreen. I play my...

Holy sh*t. The PC version is RIDICULOUSLY good. The graphics at 1920x1200 look better than the 360 version. It's the last gen engine, so you know it's got more going for it when it comes to under the hood stuff. Sure, it's still Madden, but it's significantly more fun (and a lot less twitchy) compa...

I'm 100% convinced the AI gets a boost after halftime on All-Pro. Every f'n game I play, I hang all first half and am usually leading slightly...then get spanked like hell in the 2nd half. This is annoying. Guess I'm gonna have to be a p&ssy and go with Pro. I don't think it is. I'm 3-1 with the Br...

So you're basically saying that the developers are working under impossible conditions yet you're still going to be critical of them? $59.99 is $59.99 regardless, isn't it? And being critical of the company and being critical of the people who work 48 hour shifts are two vastly different things. I ...

To be fair though, I think Teal has a point. I do believe EA is held to a different standard than other game companies. Especially when it comes to football. Well, not by me. But I think the reason that they are by others is because they have all of the toys. The biggest usually gets picked apart m...

Teal, what are you bitching about? You're bitching about people bitching about a videogame. What's worse? You're also missing the point. It's not minutiae. And I'm no longer 12 years old. If you're just as happy as a clam paying $60 every year for basically the exact same game then, in all seriousne...

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23438.html Nice review, but two things stuck out. The number of turnovers and the A.I. comeback tendency. Both of these issues have the ability to ruin an enjoyable game. To each their own.. and FWIW I'm waiting on Madden due to NCAA and APF, but sometimes I think...

NCAA 08 is the single most frustrating game I've played in many years. A lesser game I could have shrugged off after a few days of play. A money play I could ignore...but I can't have my money play be the opponent passing the ball. Yeah. If not for playing in a multiplayer dynasty with a few friend...

NHL 2K8 Interview Questions?

Wanted to give you guys a heads up on this because I know the game has a big following here. I'll be doing a Q&A with 2K re: 2K8 so if you have any specifics you want me to ask, fire away.

Money Orders are pretty darn safe, yes. Just tell the buyer that you will ship it after the MO is cashed. They're better than a check, actually.

I'm having the CPU do the phone calls and what not, it got boring really fast. Gameplay has been fine so far imo... although it takes me awhile to get used to it after playing APF. :) Passing and even running are so different in both games. Both games are fun to play, although EA has never had the ...

Hmmm... ok.. well, I hope it doesn't lag because we're running it in 1080p. Since it's my only gaming display, I'll see how it looks soon enough. It is perfect on the field...there is just some slowdowns with the menu animation when you're navigating...that's all. I get some jerkyness on the field,...

Oh, has anyone seen the CPU miss a FG by being wide this year? Last year they batted 1.000. I played San Diego State and their kicker missed two extra points...lol. THAT, I have never seen. As for the look...I think the game looks better on my HDTV compared to my monitor. I think 1080p just is a li...
