Very cool. Thanks for the tips.

I like PES 2015. The AI tactics are more realistic than FIFA, especially in terms of back passes and switching field while probing the human defense. The AI does more than attack, attack, attack, like in FIFA.

But the CPU buildup by two different teams seemed very ...

Nicely done, sir!

I'm very excited for PES on the PS4/X1 this year, though it reportedly not having shareable option files on those systems does put a damper on it.

I think the game is really fun.

It's not perfect but I like that they concentrated on improving the on the ice gameplay.

We all b*tch about how games add modes without fixing the core gameplay between the lines. NHL 15 did the opposite but we still b*tch about it.

Next year the game should be ...

Early reports on OS suggest there are plenty of fouls and free kicks, which is music to my ears.

I see on the download screen that there is an ultimate edition of the game coming out. Is that the one that has all 30 NHL teams?

No, it only has 28 teams. The last two are available as a bonus if you buy 100 HUT packs.

What settings are you guys using? I'm still looking for something that works for me.

It'll be NBA 2K15 and one soccer game for me probably, with the possibility of NHL 15.

I might trade in a few games this weekend in order to grab it.

I hope so. As I understand it, they've had a lot of trouble getting Barkley's permission to use his likeness. Getting him for the Dream Team was lucky.

OTP is a bunch of human players each controlling a different guy on the ice. And it's supposed to be added in a free update.

Now word is that the OTP patch is for using NHL players, not created players.

No EASHL.

No OTP at launch--intended to be added in a patch.

I'm getting a PlayStation 4 on Tuesday.

I already ordered 2K14 for $40 from Amazon. I mostly play NBA Today in 2K anyway, so the VC and career mode troubles don't bother me as much as they do other people.

I'll get Watch Dogs next week unless the reviews suggest it's a total flop.

I'll probably ...

Also . . . go to Red Rock Canyon. They have tons of Red Rock formations and a lot of hiking trails, and rock climbing if you have the equipment. It's a 13 mile one way loop road so you can pull off the side of the road to take pics if you like - there are also plenty of places to park. At that ...

I remember playing Re-Volt in the beta. Good times.

The skill stick in PES makes it far too easy for human players to keep possession, which helps contribute to the quite unrealistic advantage in possession for human teams, even at upper skill levels. Plus the CPU defense through the midfield still is almost non-existent, and the through balls by ...

I'm trading in FIFA for PES today.

There are some things I love about FIFA, but it's just driving me crazy at this point. Especially the defensive AI on the backline.

I think I'll be happier. I prefer playing games that don't make me angry.

I'm having a really hard time with FIFA.

For some reason, I'm just terrible at this game. I don't seem to have any knack for either attacking or defending.

I'm feeling frustrated and questioning why I got this over PES, whose demo I was naturally good at.

I'm trying to play my way through this ...

I just drove to Gamestop and paid for FIFA in full. I might head back in a few hours to pick it up at midnight.

I prefer PES's style of play, but there were two things that killed it for me:

1.) The lack of midfield defense. I shouldn't be able to out-possess Barca 60-40 every game.

2.) Maybe it ...

I'm still having trouble making up my mind.

FIFA has no midrange buildup, but the defense in the midfield and last third seems fairly strong.

PES has a beautiful midrange buildup, but the CPU defense is so terrible it perhaps ruins it.

Bingo. I'm sailing in the same dinghy as you, man.

I don ...

Surprisingly one of the most bitched about missing features. I don't buy it really was but that's the claim.

Oh, it was. Check out the Amazon reviews. Madden has a two-star rating thanks to a TON of people bitching about fantasy draft.

This is the Sega Saturn/Dreamcast all over again....although I loved the Dreamcast. Poor timing release (just ahead of PS2) paired with expensive add ons (VMUs) and only a few exclusive games (Sports, Crazy Taxi, Sonic, etc).

I predict a massive flop.

The Dreamcast had a ton of really good games ...

I hear you. I've been obsessively watching videos of both games on YouTube!
