    When it comes available to the public and you have a Xbox Live gold account, then yes if your ISP provider offers ESPN3.

      Re: Off Topic 2010

      I think I need to take a break from sports gaming (well, i'll still try 2k11). The last couple years, games like Madden and the Show typically boil my blood for all sorts of little reasons. With the Show, it was all the little fielding issues (player slowdown, horrible animations resulting in runs, etc.). Madden, it's just getting old seeing the exact same issues that go unfixed year to year. Example, just playing a game with the Giants. Three picks thrown by me with Eli, all three so horribly underthrown. For years, the QB's have had no clue on how to lead recievers, specifically on fade routes, but on other deep balls as well. The worst happened to be a play action, plenty of time, where Steve Smith has Gamble beat by a country mile. I throw it deep (not even that deep, probably 25 yards downfield when the pass should have gotten to him), and Eli throws it basically to his current location instead of well ahead of him, allowing him to run under it and keep going in stride. Gamble catches up, and leaps for the pick. I've seen it so many times the last few years, that I stop throwing deep, making passing very unrealistic.

      Oh well. I know it sounds like i'm just complaining. Maybe I am. I just hate it when small, annoying little things ruin a game for me. Most people can look past them, but it's what made me turn the Show in a few months ago, and it's what is going to make me send Madden back to Gamefly on Monday.

      I just wish that I got as much enjoyment out of sports games as I do out of action games/RPG's. I don't remember EVER getting annoyed with games like Fallout. Perhaps I should just stick with non sports games.

        To me, the biggest thing about sports games is that if you play it EVERY DAY or too often, you start to notice the flaws with the game more and more. That is where the issue lies.

        Sure I buy NCAA, Madden, NBA 2K, etc every year on the 1st day. However after about a week or 2, the amount of time I spend playing it drops by 80%. I play other games and it gets to the point I only play a sports game to recreate a game I seen on tv or to work on my dynasty.

        So for me being I don't play sports games everyday, the flaws in it don't stand out in it to the point it bothers me that much. But back in the day when I only was able to buy one game every 4 or 5 months, then yeah flaws in games use to leap out at me because that was the only game I had to play and I played it everyday.

        Now......I buy a few games at a time so I have way more games to play and just rotate them.

          I don't ever recall seeing a NFL or NBA game being advertised to be watched on espn3.com.
          I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                  I believe you actually may be on the list. http://espn.go.com/espn3/affList
                  It mentions your town near the bottom.

                      Not to double post, but does anyone have a ds here? My friend is giving me one with mario kart, I've never wanted one, but hell I'll take it. I may just use it for gamestop credit towards a 360 or something. Unless its worth keeping.

                          I'll trade it to you for a 360 if you have one. I'll throw in a puppy to make it fair. You can name him mario our luigi too, it goes with the nintendo theme. Excellent package in my humble opinion.

                            What kind of DS is it ? They had so many over the years.

                            1. DS
                            2. DS Lite
                            3. DSI
                            4. DSI-XL

                            Next spring 3D-DS

                            The only ones worth a good chunk of change is the DSI and DSI-XL. Those 2 trade in value is pretty high because not many people trade them in.

                              That's funny when I lived in northwest Indiana that was the name of the city to the east of me, about a good 15 miles down the road. It was the only high tech city in the whole northern half of Indiana.
