[The Matt Kaufman]

make sure you get the premium version...the other ones not worth it. then youll need to get the play and charge kit (charges your batteries as you play) for your controllers.

Thanks for telling me about it..Im also going to make sure that the ps2 is completely a goner and the price comes down a bit

let's do this

[Drew Beringer]

I'll get a 360 after the Packers make the playoffs.

[IAmAmazing]

My ps2 is kinda on the fritz so once it goes I think Im going to get a 360
Yeah, I got sick of my ps2, so I'm thinking of getting a 360 or Wii.

[livethesounds]

well i guess while we are on the subject...

I'm in a madden league right now (10$ in but winner takes 75% and 2nd place takes 25%) we need a couple more teams to start playing (Houston, Dallas, New York Giants, Jets) if anybody is interested let me know.

[livethesounds]

I'll get a 360 after the Packers make the playoffs.

i wouldnt wait 3 years for it....but whatever you wanna do


haha im kidding.

[justinevans]

let's do this

Game, set, match. Fucking fumbles killed me.

[looksthatkillbn]

Game, set, match. Fucking fumbles killed me.

whaaaaaat? did you really lose to weebs? i want a recap

[justinevans]

whaaaaaat? did you really lose to weebs? i want a recap

No, fumbles stopped me me from blowing him out.

However, he just needs to run the ball more and he'll do fine.

Stat of the Game...Joselio Hanson had 6 sacks, Roderick Hood had 2 =).

yeah. it was my first time playing it for 360 :-)

It's very different than regular xbox. Definitely going to take some getting used to.

Yeah running definitely opens up the passing mix it up. I know you were throwing every play once I build up a lead I just kept sending my 2 backs on blitzes.

[livethesounds]

if its possible i think ive just been getting worse and worse every time i play online.

[sweethypocrisy]

if its possible i think ive just been getting worse and worse every time i play online.
do you play as the titans? because i do, VY is fast as fuck in the game. bootlegs all around.

[livethesounds]

do you play as the titans? because i do, VY is fast as fuck in the game. bootlegs all around.

yea, at first i was pretty good. then i joined a league and the titans were taken already so i took the rams and have been playing with them latley and cant do anything on d.
tip: if you play against the rams throw to the left side (tye hill is like 2 feet and recivers grab everything on him)

[Drew Beringer]

haha the Rams? wtf?

[justinevans]

weber, so you know that was the first time I played Madden online since October.

[Scott Weber]

weber, so you know that was the first time I played Madden online since October.
blah blah blah

at least you'd played it on the 360 before

[justinevans]

blah blah blah

at least you'd played it on the 360 before

very true. You'll get better. I also come from a football background hah.

[livethesounds]

haha the Rams? wtf?

it was them or the texans, raiders, browns, jets, or lions. who woud u take haha

[justinevans]

Can we set it up so it emails you stats from the game?

[livethesounds]

Can we set it up so it emails you stats from the game?

im pretty sure i heard something about that. but i dont know how it works or how to do it. i always have to write the stats down and put them in my league.

[justinevans]

I know you can for NCAA.

[The Matt Kaufman]

For some reason I cant get good at any madden game..Ive been playing since I was like 10 or 11 and still cant figure that shit out and Ive played it for hours..must be something Im not doing right. Maybe I need to read strategy online or something.

Don't play it like an arcade game.

[livethesounds]

well for me, after playing a REAL football game like nfl2k5 its hard to get used to the sub par player physics on madden.

[The Matt Kaufman]

Don't play it like an arcade game.

I probably can read up on it here at work on the internet. I think defense is the key and playcalling helps too..I used to just blitz constantly

nfl 2k5 wasn't absolutely that great.

[livethesounds]

thats the problem then haha.

nfl 2k5 wasn't absolutely that great.

compared to madden? i think it was.

[justinevans]

thats the problem then haha.



compared to madden? i think it was.

yeah but I've played Madden since 95 so I am used to it.

[The Matt Kaufman]

I used to blitz all the time..I dont anymore. I try to play simple but my friends just do long passes all the time and its hard to know that they are doing that constantly. Doing a 4-3 defense against a long pass doesnt yield good results.

hahah Ask Weebs about my dime cb blitzes haha. Joselio Hanson had 6 sacks when I played him. He kept doing a 4-5 wr formation, and he had no one to pick up the blocks. Hood and Hanson were running free.

[livethesounds]

yeah but I've played Madden since 95 so I am used to it.

i have too..but once i played the 2k series i fell in love.

[justinevans]

i have too..but once i played the 2k series i fell in love.

too bad the 2k series of games suck for 360.

[livethesounds]

too bad the 2k series of games suck for 360.

um..nba2k6 & 2k7?

[xbrokendownx]

nba2k7 and ncaa hoops 2k7 are awesome, actually

[justinevans]

um..nba2k6 & 2k7?

mlb, nhl, even college hoops wasn't the greatest.

[livethesounds]

mlb, nhl, even college hoops wasn't the greatest.

ok, but was nba2k7 not the best basketball game you ever played, cause it is for me.

mlb was atrocious. nhl...gets boring, seems there's something missing...and college hoops is good but not great.

if mlb isn't 10x better in 07 then i might just buy a ps3 just to play the show.

every game had bad freezing issues.

[livethesounds]

every game had bad freezing issues.

every game or just mlb? yea, after the freezing issues were fixed you finally got to see the piece of shit you just spent 60$ on. easily one of the worst baseball games I've ever played.

[justinevans]

mlb and nhl....nhl had a huge scoring glitch too. It was pointless to play.

i didint play the first nhl on 360. i heard it was pretty messed up though.

[justinevans]

I've only bought two games since the summer...Madden and NCAA and my sister's gf got Saint's Row which I only play to mod cars.

[The Matt Kaufman]

Im thinking about getting college hoops 2k7 because its only 20 bucks for ps2..anyone play that?

[Scott Weber]

fifa 07 for 360 might be the worst game ever made, i am so pissed I bought it..it's so good for regular xbox, but it's a fucking joke on 360

[livethesounds]

so far the best EA sports game has to be tiger woods 07..by a mile. madden is serviceable, everything else is unplayable.

I'm going to trade in Fifa for a different game...I get violently angry when I play it because it's so good on xbox yet so shitty on next gen.

[justinevans]

Hey everyone, we should all go online sometime and I'll create on AP.net group, just add me to your list... j42justin

[SaoMattie]

Wiiiiiiii

[Talib Scottie]

I'm ready for NCAA 08

[ForlrnPerplxity]

MLB 2k5 was easily the worst baseball game I've ever played, so I didn't bother with 2k6 since it wasn't supposed to be drastically different.

BUT, the develop (or something) of MVP was hired for the new 2k7, so it has promise. Plus, the new screens look great.


Just one question for people with 360's: I played a demo for NBA 07 on ps3 and it looked pretty damn good. I'll probably end up renting all 3 NBA games just to make sure which one I like before buying, but out of the 3 NBA games, which would you all recommend? I'd like the one with the best graphics and the one with the best controls. I had 2k5 for ps2, and I hated the way the players looked and played.

2k5 was very lack luster for me. a solid game, but meh. 2k6 was a huge improvement, and 2k7 is amazing.

Live sucks, horrible controlls, good graphics as far as detail, but the player models look stupid.

2k7 is awesome on 360, so imsure it will be on ps3.

nba07 looks like fun because of the life, but other than that i would go with 2k7.

[Talib Scottie]

I like the gameplay on NBA07 a lot, actually. I've only played the demo at Best Buy though.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

Yeah, I loved the gameplay on 07. But what is "the life" really about?

That's cool to hear about 2k7, because it looks great. And I also heard Live is really bad, so I'll probably just cut my decision between 2k7 and 07 the life.

Ive never played the life cause i dont have ps2, but ive seen it being played, its basically just a created player making his way through the pros, and it has storylines and stuff like that. it seems pretty neat, but i dont know if the actual basketball experience could match up to even live. i heard it was ok, but if you're looking to just play hoops get nba2k7, wihtout a doubt.

hmm that sounds pretty cool. Kinda like that thing they added to Madden 06? I also liked the gameplay with the demo I played.

Oh well, I'll just rent both and see.

On the 360 you cant do any defensive adjustments can you?I heard you cant bring in tight coverage on the receievers shift your line or anything

[justinevans]
