Not so deep thoughts.

Here's my attempt at the first round with a projected trade (I'm sure there will be many more). I have Jimmy Clausen going to the Browns at #7. I don't think he gets past #10 but if he does, look out free fall!
1 Rams - QB Sam Bradford. They need a new face for the franchise.
2 Lions - DT Ndamakung Suh. Could go LT here due to value at that spot.
3 Buccaneers - LT Russell Okung. Freeman needs his protector.
4 Redskins - LT Trent Williams. Chris ... Read More

I thought I would post my sliders in blog format as a simple reference. A few of my thoughts. CPU power is far too low in this game. User pitching is too easy when you learn how to pitch in the game so these will make pitching more difficult. I don't believe in having high composure since I think it's an artificial means to make pitching harder. There is just too much of a difference between a composed and rattled pitcher imo. I drop fielder speed but give the user a one click boost since I feel ... Read More

I am a rookie to the 2K10 series having bought the Show for the last four years. These early impressions will largely be about 2K10 but I will make a few comparisons throughout. I played three games last night on Pro with 2K10 and bought this game for the PS3 without having played the demo (I did play the 2K9 demo last year). Parts of this game are really good, parts are average and some are bad. Overall this game lacks the polish and fine-tuning of the Show but isn’t a bad product. It depends ... Read More

It looks like we are going to have to wait for the Show demo to come out AFTER the game is released. Russell of SCEA had stated earlier that he expected it to be released about the same time as last year. Instead it will come out four weeks later.
Many fans of the Show will flock to the stores and buy it on day one. I won’t be one of them. I consider MLB ’09 to be the best baseball game I ever played. It wasn’t perfect but it was better than anything in the past. I expect ... Read More

I've played so much of the Show '09 lately that I've actually gotten a little burned out on it. It's not a good time either since the new games are coming out. But I decided to switch up the camera angles and it really adds a lot of life into the game again. I don't think I'll like the new Broadcast camera in MLB 10 but I switched the fielding camera from medium to High for '09. I really like the "being at the ballpark" feel this gives. Tracking fly balls is a lot cooler. It does make infield ... Read More

I’ve read some really good things about this program. It doesn’t appear to be a "get-thin-quick-scheme" at all. It requires an intense amount of exercise as well as a good diet. It truly seems like a great thing for people to do. But do I have to see ads for it EVERYWHERE? I can’t go to a website without seeing a bunch of rollover ads where I can see before and after pictures of people on this program.
And what’s with these people in the before pictures? I know you are being ... Read More

Why do some players perform well in the clutch and why do some others “choke”? Are sports psychologists just a bunch of quacks or can they be helpful? I had the opportunity a little while ago to hear a presentation by a noted Canadian sports psychologist Dr. Peter Jensen. He works with Canadian Olympic athletes and is currently working with the women’s hockey team. He’s also worked with Fortune 500 companies and is an accomplished author. Being someone that knows very little about psychology, ... Read More

I can’t help but be annoyed at the amount of success the Wii has had over the last couple years. I shouldn’t be annoyed but I am. I guess I just don’t understand how an overpriced and underpowered toy box with a goofy controller can sell so many more consoles when compared to the 360 or PS3. Gaming sites have shown that 360 gamers actually play their games twice as much as people who have the Wii. The PS3 can play Blu Ray movies and both the PS3 and the 360 can be used to download HD movies. ... Read More

After two years since the release of Uncharted, Uncharted 2 comes out with a much bigger marketing campaign and great sales numbers but is it worthy of the hype?
The original Uncharted was a sleeper hit that eventually sold well over two million games. It was a third person shooter that featured a good shoot and cover system and solid gameplay. But what really sold people on the game was the story and character development throughout. This game felt like you were playing ... Read More

Matt Millen was once considered a great announcer. I used to love listening to him and valued his opinions. His views on the game were so respected he was able to land the general manager’s job with the Detroit Lions. And over the next eight years he went on to prove that he knew nothing about how to build a team and build a winner. In fact, he proved the exact opposite en route to becoming the worst general manager of any sports franchise in the history of professional sports.
So ... Read More

I’ve been an offline gamer all of my life. I’ve played only a handful of games online with a few against my nephew and only three or four randoms my entire life. Having some free time on this Canadian Thanksgiving I decided to fire up NCAA 09 and play a game online. I just played a random guy in a ranked game and it reminded me why I never play online.
The guy chose OhioState while I had Miami. I had no problem with that and he seemed like a better player than me. If he ... Read More

There seems to be this constant complaint about the Wildcat by NFL players, fans and reporters. In the NFL preview issue of SI, both Matt Ryan and Carson Palmer called it a fad that would be over soon. Ron Jaworski recently made these comments on the Wildcat, "I love the Wildcat. It's great. I'm glad Coach [David] Lee is up there working all the plays. Maybe he can give them to the college coaches, because that's where they work. At the NFL level you must have a quarterback that plays from the ... Read More

I've posted some impressions in the forums already but I'll put some greater detail out here for my early impressions. I must say I haven't gotten overly far in the game, probably about 2 or 2.5 hours in to the story but have done those parts over at least a few different times. I've had some issues with the autosave saving over some files (both myself and my son had campaigns going) so I've seen some things at least 4 times. Use the manual save when you have the game!! Autosave may be deadly! ... Read More

I was looking at the slate of games available on my satellite this weekend. Pretty crappy. Cinci-Denver. Minny-Cleveland. KC-Baltimore. Hardly riveting football. Chicago and Green Bay turned out pretty well. Some would say Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee was good but I say a 13-10 OT game featuring Kerry Collins and his offensive nobodies at WR aren't that fun to watch.
I do miss the old days where you had truly great teams and great matchups. The old 49er and Cowboy teams with Montana, ... Read More

After playing the NCAA 10 demo, I was very unimpressed. There were a ton of glitches and problems that I found annoying. Of course we get treated with the same old excuse – the demo was cut from an older build and the retail version will be better. This is true, due to the lengthy certification process, but why release a buggy demo that could hurt potential sales? I think game companies would be better off releasing a demo a couple weeks after a game comes out that reflects the final game code ... Read More
