Terry, your last post sounds a lot like the stuff I loved about playing BB online. It's got me looking forward to seeing what Madden's going to deliver this year.

And with something like a football game, that one-game-for-all-gamers won't fly. I'm just thankful this is the game for "my" style...even if it alienates some of you. I feel for you there, but at least you have NCAA 11 (or Backbreaker) to fall back on. If Madden plays anything like this, I'm in ser...

Amen on that, Terry.

Again, fair point, GameSeven. I was really thinking of Scoop's post when I used the word "stupid," but I recognize I shouldn't have used it at all. Glad you're enjoying NCAA -- I've always liked their player lock feature on defense and hope it makes it into their pro game one of these days.

Which makes my point GT. You looked past the imperfections of BB and have had a blast with it. The same could be said for me regarding F1 2010 and the same can be said for NCAA 12. If a gamer focuses on the negatives then you won't enjoy the game and every year there will always be something that's...

Fair enough, GameSeven. EA has had my ire with their football games, because of their shitty business practices, and Tiburon has had my ire because, before this year, they seemed to be a pretty talent-less bunch, compared to others who have made football games in the past. After 7 years on the next ...

RTG mode is awesome! I did have a weird situation where it was 2nd and 10 and I complete a 17-yard pass. Instead of it being first down my team punts. Now even if the 17-yard pass was ruled incomplete (it was not I checked the play history) it still would have only been 3rd down. That type of s*** ...

I'm still waiting for the August PS3 price drop to replace my broken system, and I've missed playing The Show more than I've missed anything else. I'm in the minority because I love the commentary -- can't say how many times I've been amazed to hear those guys comment upon specific things happening ...

I know "social media stalking" is frowned upon here, but can we at least be able to make fun of this (since he put it out there for the world to see): "@Fillycheze Fillycheze Waking up in Brookland, Texas.

Thanks, Vin -- I appreciate it. I also think my taste in football games is closer to yours than these other guys who like EA football every year, and I'll be interested in hearing your impressions when your copy arrives.

Sounds like EA stepped it up this year for you guys who like their game, and I'm glad for you. But I'm also glad for the gamespot and gamepro reviews -- EA/Tiburon has gotten too many free passes from gaming media reviewers for way too long. Now you know what it's like to be a Backbreaker fan, wher...

Probably because I've been banned for it too, but I don't understand the "social media stalking" charge at all. As an attorney, part of my job is to use other things that people say in other places. It's not like twitter is private, after all. I'm not even on twitter but I still like to read what ot...

Unfortunately the broadcast cam is just for coach mode, vin. I'd be glad to be mistaken though.

Surprised to see Greg Miller doing a sports game review -- he's the same dude who was playing in IGN's stream of the game a couple of weeks ago, and did nothing on offense but drop back 20 yards with his QB before chucking it down field. Then again, it is IGN so I shouldn't be that surprised.

LoL...just when I thought that nothing from Tiburon would surprise me... I saw today that one of the d*****bag EA Game Changers said on twitter that Online Franchise info had just been released. When I clicked on the link, I saw this: "Since we revealed the details of the Offline Franchise mode, the...

Wish it was out for PS3 -- looks like a fun change of pace. Reminds me of the days where I'd have to use my imagination in playing games like RBI Baseball, where the on screen players had the real names but looked nothing like the real life players. Sucks seeing the 360 getting this and Backbreaker ...

I've been intentionally avoiding news regarding this, but to state the obvious it's not about the character of the act, it's about whether or not you can prove that the individual did the act. No common person wants to sit in a jury box and feel responsible for putting a person to death unless they...

Amen to that, vin.

Finally watched the documentary Man On Wire on instant. WOW. See it if you haven't. I've got True Grit on bluray waiting for me. Excited for that one. I really liked Man on Wire, also. Completely different subject matter, but I highly recommend another documentary, Inside Job, if you ever get a cha...

Madden seems to finally be turning the corner this year, which I am glad to see, but I'm also still very glad to hear Phil Frazier is gone...makes for great news on this sunny Friday morning. I think it's got to be a good thing that the guy who has been heading up FIFA is now in charge of EA footbal...

If what I've been reading about the debt ceiling is true, come August 2nd, it may be the US government that cannot come up with $2k. Crazy.
