Re: The New "Little Things" Thread
As far as the NFL license. Thats a mixed bag. I don't want to lose the little stuff in this game that makes it so much fun. HOWEVER , I have a feeling that the NFL is soon going to let EA do the things it wouldn't let any company do before negating the advantage 2K has with some animations and gameplay features. |

Re: The New "Little Things" Thread
Anyway, this isn't really to disagree with your post, just to put a slightly different spin on it. This game has so much potential, though, that I'm sure they could expand to the type of negative system you're talking about and do it really well. |

Re: The New "Little Things" Thread
Either way, to chime in on the signature styles... I agree. While not perfect, I think they knocked one out of the park w/what they did in the 1st year. RBs are easily distinguished by their various styles; even WRs have their own distinctive feel. For example, Cliff Branch, Yancy Thigpen, and Herman Moore are all bronzes, yet they all feel distinctly different. QBs are the same. On defense the differences aren't as pronounced, but they're still there. I immediately know Joey Browner or Jack Lambert for example. I love seeing how some players seem more confrontational than others, getting into shoving matches or whatnot. Think they did a very underrated job w/the player personalities

Re: The New "Little Things" Thread
I thought I would never say this: But I dont care if they get the NFL license back.
I prefer this - I love the legends and frankly outside of a few select players, even to a football geek like myself - most NFL players are simply "generics" anyways. I mean, really, whats the difference between Shaun MacDonald & Emmanuel Husek? Not much, IMO....Nothing that excites me anyways....So I can certainly live with the generics.... All they have to do is keep adding legends, keep making them diverse, open up some of the options - such as having a dedicated special teams slot - and then just make it mega customizeable.... Me, a self-proclaimed franchise geek - wont buy a title without confirmation of franchise mode and I love 2k8. I suddenly dont care about signing FA deals. Let me pick players and just play. Let me add/release players as I want without salary implications. The way I play - 2k8 DOES have a franchise mode. I change the teams constantly..... I am not a 2k8 fanboy - Madden is perfectly ok with me, I have NO gripes about it. I just am in love with the legends, the concept and the gameplay is special to me.....I tried to play 2k5 with updated rosters and quit within the first hour - it was just not the same.... |

Re: The New "Little Things" Thread
Not that this makes the concept of the negatve attribute moot, but it defines a player's personality sufficiently for me and is extrememly well done, though I understand the perspective of those who wish that all players' abilities were more transparent (some guys play really fast but aren't labelled "speed burners," for example). And you're also right about the defensive guys, especially the hitters. Guys who arrive with authority are so noticeable on this game; I'm half surprised I don't fumble every time I get rocked by Browner or Lott. I wonder if this has an effect on stamina or confidence--does anyone have a word on this or any evidence beyond the "big hit/ alligator arms thing"? I kindof don't care about the license as well, Lorax, so you're not alone. Most guys are average with a little better ability at skill X tha their peers, and there are definitely guys with that little bit of X who can make or break a game if utilized correctly or put out of position. I just want this game to keep being made by the folks that are making it. I love the legends, but I'd take an all-generic team, and I'll be happy with a tuned and expanded version of this concept if the licence isn't really going to be up for grabs (and given the Madden commercials during games, the saturation on ESPN, etc., I don't see this partnership ending soon either). |
