Gridiron Greta

Subby · 10-29-2006, 09:30 AM

I love this feature.

My kids ADORE it. They sit with me at the computer and count down with her and make comments about each number ("I hate number eight!" "Number two is the best!")

At the very least, I think Greta has good longterm prospects as a children's television personality.

In my game Greta now looks like Mellissa Stark

Swaggs · 10-29-2006, 11:00 AM

I think it is a really nice addition. The smaller media-like features like this add a lot to the overall depth of the universe.

Nice. That inspired me to grab a screencap of my favorite Sky Sports News anchor. Now we need someone to record the audio with a british accent for me.

I like the idea as well...just wish Greta wouldn't list the same 10 people, linked to the same incorrect player card, whenever I'd consult her.

Edit: Oh, and she needs to stay quiet once I tell her to stay quiet. SHOOSH!

AgustusM · 10-29-2006, 11:12 AM

yeah, she really likes Jones

AgustusM · 10-29-2006, 11:16 AM

anyone remember the chick that was on NFL today back in the day (like the Jimmy the greek days) - she was real hot, but I can't place her name.

Just so that everyone knows: the bug is that Greta works fine in year 1, but after year 1 repeats the same player. It is on the list of issues that has been brought to his attention.

I think I'm going to like this feature.

Yep, me too -- I've played a lot of FOF, but my careers tend to have me focusing on my team to the exclusion of others. Especially after the real NFLers disappear, features like this will do a ton for league immersion.

I must be losing my mind because I've been looking for that new picture of Greta with the pom poms and can't find it.

no doubt.

And I've already put a Sky Sports ID in place of the of "Welcome To Gridiron Greta's house of football". I'm hoping to find one with a female voice on it though, or try to capture some audio myself next time it airs.

You could always ask Antmiester to use his singing voice

What? No love for Georgie Thompson?

cthomer5000 · 10-29-2006, 12:02 PM

Georgie looks alright, but I can say I've honestly never seen here on-air once. I've only seen Hayley McQueen, Kelly Dalglish, and the unfortunate male-male pairings from time to time.
