Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

[DC]

Seriously, who would have ever thought there was a place where you could cry enough to developers that they would actually take what you are saying into consideration and put it in the next edition of their product.

I don't know about you but I fools with Operation Sports for that reason alone. I don't think some of us understand how BLESSED we are to personally have our voices heard by these developers. Everyone doesn't have that luxury to be heard DIRECTLY.

I know I cry a lot in the NBA 2K boards, but my intentions are good. I just want my sport to be digitally immortalized. THATS why I cry so much. But again, it is for the greater good.

You don't know how good/special I felt when I saw the patch for NBA 2K8 that had editable standing dunks. Almost made a grown man cry. Seriously!

But yea, I love OS.

Why do you?

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

I come for the porn....wait, wrong forum.

I started coming here because of NCAA Football back in the "glory days" of 01-04. I keep coming back because of the great posters. I don't post as much as I used to, but I read the forums everyday. This board and the old "Everything Else" board have/had so many classic topics. Plus, I'm just a sports game nut, always have been, and this is by far the best forum for that.

I was amazed when I found there were actually other people who tweaked sliders more than they played some of the games. :wink:

To kill time at work.

And to get opinions about games from people like me instead of "pros" whose reviews are likely "influenced" by advertising dollars, pre-release access, etc.

And to discuss sports and life in general.

And to find fellow online gamers since most of my friends are either too cool, too "grown up", or too busy for gaming.

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

I love OS because I can always find the latest news and videos on my favorite games and have some pretty good discussions about them. Plus you don't have to deal with too many immature people. I mean you have to deal with some people who think they know it all, lol, but that's much better than "this game sux" blah blah blah. I'd much rather be here than anywhere else. I love OS.

DC thinks more highly of OS than women.

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

2K devs more trust worthy than the female specie. ( joking but serious )

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

I came for the NCAA/Madden forums a few years back. Lurked for awhile. Then came back for the sense of community, to kill time at work, and be able to discuss different thigns (life, sports etc) on the forums.

Great place........love OS

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

I like OS because it has changed sports gaming for me. Plain and simple.

It has without a doubt made my gaming experience so much better.

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

I just started posting in '07 but I must have signed up back in the day('04) to get some rosters and not remembered it.

I love OS for killing time at work, finding people who share the same gaming interests and making my gaming more realistic.

It probably has killed a little bit of the "fun" though because I critique everything to the 9th degree now but logging on and watching virtual highlights in my cube is always a treat.

+85 with both.

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

I love OS because it has become almost like family. It's amazing how this community has grown to a quasi corporate level but for those that have been around long enough it's still that "local watering hole".

Good times, good times.

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

Because wading through the trash at gfaqs to get to decent sliders for Live and Madden became a little unbearable. Pared posted his sliders there for Live I think, and when we bombarded him with questions he posted why didn't we all come to OS, since it was a much better community and he posted there a lot more than at gfaqs. I read without registering for a little while then finally joined up. The rest is history.

Re: Operation Sports: I Appreciate You

Because it's free!

Just kidding



Two reason why I log on to OS every day:

1) It's the best forum to get information about new games (especially sports games). And rosters too!

2) For me, it's a way to communicate with people from the US, Canada etc., and maybe to understand the way people in other countries think/behave.
