Apathy - Reflections on the status of football gaming.

Posted 11-22-2011 at 11:28 AM by Pared
There is no better word to describe what I feel towards the football genre as a whole than the one used to open this entry.

As we move forward, we continue to see development increase exponentially in many areas for so many sports gaming genres outside of football. Soccer (or football, if you'd prefer!), hockey, baseball and basketball... the behemoths of professional sports both locally and worldwide continue to provide entertaining video games despite the quibbles from continually...

What is a "sim?"

Posted 12-05-2008 at 12:43 PM by Pared
Just a quick entry:

I see as more and more time goes on people complaining about certain things happening in their basketball games that isn't possible.

Last night Jose Barea scored a season high 18 points (I think he scored 9 in the 4th quarter alone) as the Mavs torched the Suns. In that same night, Matt Bonner had 9 points in the first quarter alone.

If these things were to happen in your game, honestly, how many of you claim the game to be broken?

Friday November 21 2008

Artest finished with 24 pts. and 4 assists, going 3-4 from 3 pt. range. Tracy McGrady added 20 points. 2 others finished with double digits. Yao had an off-night...

Game Review Ratings And Their Failure

I find it laughable when people use review ratings to justify a game's quality. That's the same thing that the developers are doing and they just encourage it. I mean, give me a break; You're going to use the same ratings that people argue over which is typically the opinion of the average joe who is impressed by the one facemask animation to justify your point?

Do you even know what site you are on?

I would think most of those who frequent OS would be able to use solid...

Subscription (Sports) Gaming

Lately there have been reports of EA and 2K both looking towards and experimenting with different revenue streams to increase profit. One of those ways has included an EA "Total Access" pass where you must pay a fee up front (perhaps $20 or so) to join but be allowed a percentage off any EA Sports brand game that you purchase from GameStop.

Analyzing this further, it seems like a fantastic deal. EA ultimately gains more sales. With, lets say... a $45 price tag, there would...
