First of I want to say, I loved the new changes to recruiting. It made it fun and exciting again and more of a toss up. I no longer get 20 5* recruits in a single class and you end up being forced to get 3* kids who fill out your roster and it makes it more realistic. Now here are a few tweaks i would like to see.

- An actual LOI day set in february.
What this does:

1. Even hard commits could still be talked to and take official visits like in real life. Just because a kid gives a verbal, doesnt mean teams stop recruiting him. We should be able to sway.

2. You have to protect your commits.

3. On a negative to some people, it makes recruiting a longer process. I love recruiting in NCAA so i wouldnt mind.

-Real time interest levels
What this does:

1. If you're a smaller school in a non AQ conference or a lower tier BCS team and you have a great year, in theory with all the coverage you get from the media, more kids would become interested in you. IRL i have seen this with Oregon State over the past few seasons.

2. In off season recruiting you if you have a good/great year you should have more interest from some players. And younger players like incoming HS Seniors. which leads me to...

- Multi year HS players and a JC section of players
--- In College Hoops 2k8 they do this great. you can email younger players and recruit them and they have an easy sortable meanu system so you can see all the JC players.
What this does:

1. Helps you set up multiple good recruiting classes and contact future players

2. If youre a smaller school its easier to target JC players to help your program get better quicker.

-Have off season 7 on 7 and Scouting camp mini drills
What this does:

1. Like CH2k8's AAU summer leagues, this helps you identify players you want to go after. If we could play with potential recruits and see some of the stuff the can do, we may want to target them and put them on our board and keep in contact with them

- Reimpliment the assistant coach calls and head coach calls back into the CURRENT system/ coaches and recruiting coordinators.
What this does:

1. If a recruit constantly gets calls from the HC, in theory he would be more inclined to like that team because the HC is contacting him out of his busy. Though there could be a wrinkle where some kids like the AC calling because in theory, day to day they have more contact with that coach.

2. Allows EA to give us more than "10 hours" to recruit each week. IRL recruiting is 24/7 except the dead period... which leads me to...

-All American HS Recruit games
What this does:

1. Heading into the off season have an AA game to see if you can identify players you may try to target at the last minute and maybe get a chance to recruit



I know a lot of these things would be hard to implement in 12 but in the future i would like to see recruiting expanded some more.

10 years ago to the day, I skipped school. I was a junior in HS and in the prior summer, I had got a job for this day. This was the day the Playstation 2 would be arriving. As I mentioned in my last blog, I had pre-ordered a launch console. I actually was the first person at my local game crazy to do so. I had never heard of pre-ordering anything up until then. To me it was a new concept, But I had to pre order the ps2. Which i did, 8 months in advanced.

The week before the launch the store got in most of the launch title, so I bought Madden 2001 and NHL 2001. I had a week to look at the back of the boxes and I did it a lot. I couldn't wait for the 26th. I even opened the games a looked through the manuals just to see the graphics of the game, even if the pictures were in black and white.

So back to the day of the launch. Game Crazy didn't have a midnight release for anything back then (it sucked), So i got there at 10 when they opened... well 9 am I was first on this i was getting mine first. I get the shiny blue box, in my possession and back home which was only 5 minutes away. It felt like my dad was drive 5mph all the way home. I open the box carefully (I save boxes from every piece of electronics i own, I dont know why) pull out the system and cables. I hook it up to my tv turn on the system, open the tray and put in Madden 2001. I played Madden all day and night. I convinced my parents to stay home friday too. They agreed, I became a junkie. From there came my addiction to sports games.

My fondest memory of the PS2 was my very first and thanks to the PS2 for all the great memories and getting me closer to the sports I love.

What would sports gaming look like now if Microsoft never got out of the game? Back in 2001, when the original Xbox hit microsoft had in house sports games from Microsoft Studios. Shocking they were not that bad. On a new system with a big clunky controller these games stood out to me as the new system hit.

Back in 2001 I was starting my senior year in high school when the xbox dropped. At the time I found every reason to hate the xbox. Why? Because I got my first job at a local golf course to buy a PS2 a year earlier. It was the first console I bought with my own hard earned money. I remember the day the PS2 dropped. At the time I did something so foreign, I pre-ordered madden and the ps2 itself. Kids reading today you might think I'm nuts. Back then no one pre-ordered anything the concept was new. Anyway back to the story. I took the day off school and went got my PS2 and Madden. Thats all I did all day was Madden. So when this Xbox hit I had to defend my system. I was a PS2 fanboy.

My neighbor had a ps2 but was amazed by the Xbox. He got one the day it dropped. I was a skeptic on every game besides two. Halo and NBA Inside Drive 2002 (when I first played it). NBA Live was cool but it didn't feel like the NBA (2k had yet to be on the PS2. 2k2 was the first glorious year, but released in february. My first year was 2k3). When I played NBA Inside Drive 2002 it felt like the I was actually controlling and playing an NBA game. NFL Fever was ok, but back then Madden was killing and Microsoft's MLB Inside Pitch was a decent game but EA unveiled MVP Baseball the same year and they klled it. They also put out an excellent golf game call Microsoft Links 2004. Not a port of the PC game MS Links but its own xbox game.

By 2003 (2004 sports year for games ex: Madden 04 was in 2003) Microsoft Sports had 3 really solid games in NFL Fever 2004, NBA Inside Drive 2004 and Links 2004. Fever was definitely the third out three, best NFL game. Madden and 2k were in their heyday. But Fever was playable and a decent game. NBA Inside Drive 2004 was given the praise of IGN's Jon Robinson as the best NBA sim game. Now he did recommend 2k4 because of the extra modes but in terms of gameplay he recommended Inside Drive as the best Sim Baller. They also introduced NHL Rivals 2004, which as a first year title wasn't that bad.

Now to Links 2004, a little side story. That first job story earlier remember that? Ok well the other reason I got the job at the golf course was to also buy my own set of Ping i-3 irons. I am a golf nut. I play 20-30 times a summer. I love the sport and golf video games are some of my favorite. My biggest gripe with the Tiger Woods series was that it didn't feel like real golf. With the post shot spin, 400 yard drives and unrealistic ball physics because of the post shot spin drove me crazy. I play the crap out of all the Tiger Woods games because other than the Hot Shots series (which was more realistic with no controlling the shot spin after the shot, you had to choose what you wanted to do with your shot before you hit the ball. If you wanted to draw you had to setup and risk/reward it) and ball physics. So I was excited for Links 2004 and thought it was a very good game for a first year offering. It had not post shot spin and decent ball physics. It lacked modes and was way to easy. But it had a fun online offering.

So Microsoft was making noise in the sports genre. Were they the most amazing games ever? No, but they did get better every year and help push the competition? Yes. But in early 2004 Microsoft pulled the plug on their sports department. They basically gave up because of EA and 2k's market share which was over 90% at the time. So you cannot blame them. What is worst though, is Microsoft had every intention bringing all the titles back for the 2006 round of games (as you know the 2005 year). So what killled it? Well the NFL exclusive license for one. But the MLB license was for third parties only. So Microsoft could have brought that back. Inside Drive could have easily been resurrected and Links was an excellent in a market really shared by one game.

How different would the sports landscape look if we had NBA Inside Drive 2011 pushing 2k11? How much better could 2k11 be? How good would Inside Drive be? It got better in all 3 years it was out. What if Links kept making golf games? Signing major tour players like Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and other guys. They could have built up a stable of players not in Tiger. And they could have done it by being the realest form of golf and keep the game true to the sport. I mean with Kinect launching they could have had a Links title with it.

We've seen what Sony did with the MLB: The Show series, Microsoft could have had that if they were a little bit more patient in two sports or more. They started building the foundation and decided not to build the house. How much as consumers and sports fans have we missed because of this, unfortunately we'll never know.

What do you think could have come of Microsoft stay with the sports genre?

Game 1

[/SIZE][/FONT][LEFT][SIZE=3][SIZE=4][B]Duke masterful in 1-0 win[/B][/SIZE]

Zack Duke maybe on his way to a banner year. He struck out 10 in eight innings of work in a tight game. The Pirates didn't play Andrew McCutchen, Ryan DOumit, Garret Jones and Jeff Clement giving them a day of rest. They sat four of their top five players and won the game. The Pirates scored in the top of the eighth playing small ball. Andy LaRoche doubled and then Ronney Cedeno bunted him over to third. Then Bobby Crosby singled to left and scored LaRoche. Duke pitched in the eighth and Octavio Dotel was brought into the game in the ninth to close the game out. "I didn't care about the complete game shutout. I wanted our team to win, Skip felt I was tired and made the right decision by putting in Octavio (Dotel)" Duke commented after the game.

Player of the game: Zack Duke- 8.0 IP 10 K 2 BB 4 H, 0 R/ER[/SIZE]

[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE][/FONT][LEFT][SIZE=3][SIZE=4][B]Power Surge in Houston, Bucs Win![/B][/SIZE]

The bats were the show in the second game of the series. Houston got out to an early 3-1 lead. The Pirates chip at the lead in the fourth inning when they got a run, It was in the top of the fifth when Jeff Clement hit a three run homer off of Wandy Rodriguez giving the Pirates a 5-3 lead. They added another in the seventh to make it 6-3. Houston scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh and eeked closer to tying the game. Catcher Ryan Doumit hit a solo homer in the 8th to give the Pirates a two run lead. DJ Carrasco returned for the eighth inning after getting the last two outs of the seventh. It would be disasterous. He gave up three runs and gave up the lead with one out in the inning. Setup man Javier Lopez finished the inning with no further damage done. In the top of the ninth Bobby Crosby smashed a two run homer to give the Pirates a 9-8 lead and they didn't look back. Octavio (Dotel) was brought in the ninth and closed out the game and getting his fifth save of the year. The Pirates are over .500 for the first time this year.


Player of the Game: Jeff Clement 4/5 4 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI[/SIZE]

Game 3

[B][SIZE=4]Despite late surge, Pirates sweep![/SIZE][/B]

Early on Andrew McCutchen was manfacturing runs for the Pirates. Late in the game the Pirates led 4-0. In the seventh inning the Astros added two runs and another run in the bottom of the eighth. Garrett Jones blasted a two run homer to put the Pirates up three (6-3) going into the bottom of the ninth. It wasn't enough. Kaz Matsui hit a three run bomb off of closer Octavio Dotel, who blew his first save of the year. MAtsui's homer evened up the game and Dotel finished the inning. The Pirates weren't done though, Andy LaRoche clobbered his own three run shot in the top of the 10th inning. Evan Meek came in the bottom of the inning and closed things out for Pittsburgh. This gives the Pirates their first series sweep in a long time. The real issue is the bullpen. While Javier Lopez has looked great, DJ Carrasco has struggled mightily and with Dotel blowing this save, who do the Pirates have to rely on? In the coming series' look for manager John Russell to use different combinations to close out games.

Player of the Game: Garrett Jones: 3/4 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB[/SIZE]
