I was in my apartment in St Pete, FL watching the Knicks - Rockets and switched over to the chase. I was on lunch break in my car when the verdict was announced. It is really scary to me when I think that the real killer is still out there somewhere! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :D :D :...

I love football games, but I will probably not get Madden right away unless i hear glowing reviews. I will pick it up at some point - probably online at a reduced 2nd hand price later in the season, but $39 is still a bit high for a game that I never play that much. I prefer college football and I l...

It's funny how outraged folks got over Clinton having some hollywood producers spend the night at the Whitehouse and yet these same people don't say a word when the person who sits next to the president's wife at the state of the union address turns out to be an Iranian spy. Gee, maybe our country s...

I detest Bush. Clinton lied about a blowjob. Nobody died. Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he lied when he called Iraq a threat to the United States and he lied when he implied that Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks. He also lied when he declared the war in Iraq was over. American...

A guy I know was crossing the street with his wife (this was in downtown Raleigh, about 10 years ago). Some yuppie had to slow down in order to let them cross and he missed the light and had to stop for the red light. He glared at them and my friend glared back. The guy in the car said: "Just give m...

I was hoping that the scoring fix for ESPN Baseball would make its way onto the Xbox Mags demo disk. It probably will - right after stop playing the game.

I am still in an apartment right now and house hunting and only have dialup, so no live downloads.

I decided to go with the PC version on this game simply because I have the hardware and I played the first 2 with my nose practically pressed against the screen. Plus, there is always the chance that there will be fan missions at some point. Liking it so far. The first mission is training and the se...

The only complaint I have about ESPN Football - and this is true of the other football games on the market - is the lack of miscues in the kicking game. Based on what we see week to week in the NFL and college, there should be more excitement in the kicking game. blocked punts and kicks, muffed punt...

Reports of NCAA 2005 Beta sluggish play on Xbox. Thoughts

I have read over some of the comments that folks have made after playing NCAA 2005 betas at E3. Most of the comments were made in the OS boards, but it concerns me that some players complained that the game was at 3/4 speed and running was impossible due to the sluggishness. This is not good news. I...

Boy, NCAA 2005 should have a feature like this. No more problems with the AI running the ball. Just create a profile where the running game is front and center. You could even create profiles where you do subtle little thinks like juke a lot and give this profile to a team with a quick scamper back ...

I agree. The best feature in the psx version of the game and it has never made its way to this generation of NCAA games. We get screwed by the real BCS and are stuck with it in our college video game as well.

All that stuff is great, especially the addition of 'athletes' and the 75 man roster. But I hope they tweaked the gameplay so that you don't have to mess with things manually to get your AI opponent to run the ball. I wonder if the 75 man rosters are for both xbox and PS2?

I don't know - it is kind of late in the game to make a switch to a 2 year cycle. I know that even games that I love like NCAA Football get tired and old after a year.

I have not heard much about this game. Is it going to be GTA meets the old west or is it going to be a POS like 'State of Emergency"?
