I am a huge basketball fan and is the major reason why I sign up on this forum. I own and played all NBA games since 1995 (EA games that is). Started playing 2K series since 2K2. I watch most of the NBA games I can find on the channels when I am relaxing. Then after ESPN NFL 2K4 was release I notice I started to like NFL games (aside from video games). But still watch NBA.
Then recently whenever I can find ESPN showing what's up around the NFL league I started to be glued on it. Then after watching it, I usually play ESPN on or before and mostly after the ESPN show. Then suddenly I realize that I lost my interest towards baskeball games anymore that even the SA vs LA was a waste of my time. I'd rather watch football. Then suddenly I remember that I did own a copy of ESPN NBA 2K4 but for some reason I'd rather play NFL than 2K basketball series. And before I know it, I am now a BIG NFL fan.
In fact what I used to hate on ESPN NFL 2K4 is now my favorite target of my strategy. I even manage to limit the likes of Jerome Bettis, Portis and Ricky to a 50 yard run on All Pro level which I used to think unstapable. On my 5 games the best I allowed to my opponents is around 2 TD per game. For the most part 1 TD and 2 FG (3 points worth) attempts. While I am averaging 4 TD per game with my Raiders rated 90 overall.
Now I can't stop playing ESPN because of strategy level it offers. I always love to play games where you can use your head for the most part.
Heck my best offensive style where I was able to master it to the point of it being almost unstapable was scouted perfectly by my opponents that it became difficult for me to see my targets. Right now I am thinking of what to cook this Sunday and watch NFL afterwards. Hmm, maybe I'll bake a cake, pair it with potato chips plus orange juice.
Call my cousins and make it family night every sunday. No wonder NFL is so popular.
