I don't know what game it was but it was probably Roger Clemens Baseball where you could choose your slide with the D-Pad (and also choose where on the bag you wanted to get in) It was a game within a game, you had to guess whether the AI would apply the tag on the left side or the right. I remember this vividly. The game may not be right but this has been done before. Again, this stuff is not new. There ain't much gamers our age (I'm 27) haven't seen. It's all being repeated.

And no Pared, i didn't read your post. I usally don't read the whole thread before I post. I see something I want to respond to and I do it.

Cool, I didn't know that!

The "game within a game" is exactly what I'm looking for when I try it out...

But if you can't advertise things done before that aren't being done now... how are you going to advertise your game? It's new to the "series," so they have every right to advertise. But me and you as informed gamers who visit OS know otherwise!

I just don't think the argument "it's not new, it's been done before" can't really hold much merit... I even made a big issue to FP in the ESPN board b/c they were doing the same thing... and he made a good point that it makes sense if it's new to the series... it's just up to the gamers to know better.

And I hear you on reading something and just replying to it... BUT... you are missing out on some quality posts in this thread (hell, IMO, the best thread [discussion-wise] has seen yet).

I have a PS2 and you know how many games I have for it? ZERO. Know why? Crap, thats why. Game look better and sound 10x better on Xbox, plus Xbox Live! simple blows Sony's adapter out of the water.

But please, lets stay on topic shall we? Thanks...

Yeah, if you're against EA's business model there's nothing to really talk about... although I honestly feel they have changed for the better in the past year.

Oh, and I don't buy that PS2 comment though... if you're a "SPORTS-ONLY" fan, ok... but there are plenty of great PS2 exclusives that XBox doesn't have, and vice versa.

<hr /></blockquote>oh i'm not saying they shouldn't advertise. They have to do that. I was just saying, it's nothing that older gamers like ourselves should be getting a woody about. We've seen it before. That's all i'm saying. I can understand the youngins getting excited.

Yep, I dont think it matters what game you go with this year, they all have something positive to offer each individual.
