Re: Xbox One

Where have you seen this? So if your on the road, you can "call in" your check so your good to go?

That would be great for me. Travel with the 360 from time to time...

Buddy, the Controller was a low blow, but I couldn't help myself. I get what your saying.

Tethering your phone means you can use the internet from your phone on your Xbox. So if all you need to do is be on long enough to check in then tethering your phone is the best option if you are someone who travels or has no internet access. It might sound complicated, but a lot easier than you think. They have said it on Twitter and one of the guys in an interview also stated tethering as an option.

Re: Xbox One

I don't know IMO I like the way you pass it now. Adding that extra element of having to press extra buttons would take extra time which would mean taking a lot more sacks. Unless there was a better way I just can't see it.

That would be for the better....

That's just it. Everyone likes different things.
And Fevers way wasn't any extra buttons. It was move stick to where you wanted to throw ball and and trigger throws it. You could throw to anywhere on the field which led to natural overthrows/under throws etc.. and not a roll of the dice.
It was the most fullfilling experience when you had a good passing game. Wasn't perfect but not far from a great system.

Point is we should have options by now. That's all I'm asking for.

Re: Xbox One

Cell phones can let you do wifi hotspots too...not sure if there's a calling mechanism, but that'd work too.

You can turn youre phone in a wifi hotspot its only not gonne be free. Youll be paying for it

Well hopefully it wouldn't have to be because of something like that lol. The line play needs a lot of work to be done, but they are at least starting to work on that. I expect it to be a lot better next year. Madden 25 will be improved slightly, but I look for it to be much better next year.

Well based on what we have heard so far from this generation options doesn't seem like a focus of the new consoles if you know what I mean

It was part of Major Nelson's Angry Joe interview and I know Ive read it in one or two of the anonymous Xbox employee posts.

But yeah you can tether your mobile or laptop devices internet to your xbox now really. So there is always that option.

(im assuming the controller comment was for the other guys, however I do get nostagic from time to time )

Why are you making "low blows". You are basically announcing to OS that your are just trolling the guy. You seen the 6 or so posts that lead after your low blow that were unneeded in response to your little comment. I think this is part of why a solid discussion on the flaws in the MS model can't be had here. One side has to always get offended and make jabs.

I can't believe people are still arguing over the same thing for this long

Re: Xbox One

Doc come on man, that is such a baited question.

Many of the complaints with the X1 are unneeded that is the main problem. Give me all the new features of the X1, don't force the kinect on me, don't remove used games, and don't require internet and you got a bitch free console. Basically give me a better 360 with more power and more options to grow the console.

This. Give me all these things and MS would have my money right now.

I think arguing is to strong.

I see it more as a discussion and debate on the topic. Plenty on both sides are logical in their responses, it is just a couple that go beyond that.

Exactly. Its fine.

Re: Xbox One

I've preordered the PS4 and have taken a wait and see approach regarding the X1. Putting aside the restrictions, my other concerns with them is just not that they're competing against Sony regarding games, but they're also competing against Google, Apple, and Samsung regarding their entertainment services. Seems like there's stiff competition all the way around. I'm not sure what the competition has up their sleeve but I'm sure they're going to want to have a piece of the market.

Also, when PSN was hacked and out for a few weeks I was still able to play games on the PS3. If Live is hacked (and please don't say Live can't ever be hacked) what would happen? Would this stop you from playing?

If they do well, and many are happy I'll probably be on-board. However, they seem to be bumbling on many of their decisions lately. I'll wait and see.

Thanks for all the feedback in this forum. It was useful.

I think that is where the disconnect with the pro X1 and Con X1 guys lay. It is not so much as people just hating on MS just to hate. I love my 360, but why remove what I love about the console and make it harder for me to enjoy the better version of that console? Where is the win in it for MS?

Spoiler

Honestly the only win I can see from them is the contracts or whatever was made between these 3rd parties who are going to use this "kinect data". I don't see any other main winning point on making this uphill battle for themselves.
