It looks worse on that video than it actually does, probably because it's recorded off a bad cell camera.

I'll look for it, thanks for mentioning.

Hell yeah, I loved doing all that stuff. So much fun.

I loved being able to build a stadium and/or move, they need to bring back last-gen team editing. That shit was robust, now they've got about 10 logos in the game and IIRC you can't even move a team anymore.

PLEASE FUCKING IMPROVE SUPERSTAR AND FRANCHISE. PLEASE. FUCK.

The thing is, it could work. There are emotionally riveting war films and novels, and nothing's stopping video games from entering that territory.

Excellent post. I quite liked how Battlefield 2 handled fights on American soil. IIRC, there are 3 maps in America: one is China attacking the Alaskan Pipeline in a nighttime sneak attack, certainly a plausible strategy, the other is the Middle Eastern Coalition launching another surprise offensive on the Maryland…

I kept an account of my fantasy draft Blue Jackets franchise in NHL 10 like this. I ended up with 48 pages worth of margin-to-margin writing. Accounts of draft picks and their progression, month-by-month top performers, key moments of playoff games, injuries and how they happened, transactions and how they came to be,…

@Yedman: I think it is. I spent a nice chunk of time going through the game, and it was pretty fun. Never felt the need to replay it, but I still spent about 50 or 60 hours on it.

I played MLB Manager Online for a couple weeks but I lost interest after that. Too many weirdo things going on with it. Like, I had absolutely no idea how lineup management was supposed to work - as in, why is this player boosted by having these two guys here, and why is this other guy suffering because of the same…

@Rear Admiral Meatwad: I don't think Owen reviewed NHL 11, but I highly recommend it. Deep as hell franchise mode, Ultimate Team is slick, gameplay is A+, all around an awesome game.

@cubrunner: We've found the one man in America with a Brian Scalabrine shrine.

@BNC92781: 3 seasons, and what Koolaider said below.

Sounds like you got buttmad bro. Should've passed it off with a laugh.

@Ravey Mayvey Slurpee's current urge: AMG V12 600: Figured it wouldn't be, and it could always be a nice callback. Put him in a similar pose.

I think if the Pack win and they can't get Rodgers for some reason they could go with Charles Woodson. Always been a class guy and a great player, and he's had an awesome season. Or if Sam Shields puts da teem on his back doe and wins MVP they could put him in and maybe change up Superstar so you need to work really…

@bakru84: @bakru84: That incident was way back in '03, though. Roethlisberger's also suffered through 2 off-seasons worth of rape, and it's recent.

@goldfinger7: "Under our system of law, anyway." Crucial modifier. They were both never convicted.

When I bought NHL 05, I spent a lot of time doing season modes in the European Leagues.

@Chewblaha: I support this.
