Re: Off Topic 2011

thanks dude for the advice.. i am disabled so i should start on rookie anyway. its hard for a guy like me to just pick up a game and play when i first get it... case in point Call of duty MW2 i suck at it online only got one kill to my name

Yeah, I don't play a lot of games like CoD online just because everyone is so much better than me and it's not a lot of fun dying over and over again. I love the campaign mode but, CoD MW2's was so short I didn't even bother with Black Ops.

As far as NBA 2K11 is concerned you can find plenty of good tips in that Forum. Here's some video's from Da Czar that will help you. There's more on You Tube so you should definitely watch them when you get a chance.

Re: Off Topic 2011

So I was browsing the OS Youtube channel, looking at all the NCAA 11 E3 gameplay videos............

Wow they changed a lot of stuff from that E3 build to the final retail version build. Linemen in the retail version don't block nearly as good as they do in the E3 video, especially on the Triple option.

In the video cpu QB had all day to run on that triple option. However in the retail version, QB gets blown up in the backfield on the triple option or any option play. Blocking isn't the same and the defense in the E3 don't come crashing through the line at warp speed on running plays like they do in the retail version.

Look at this video

They really watered down the run blocking and amped up the defense reaction time in the retail version. They should have left it the way it was in the E3 build.

IMO, they ruined the game with all the patches because rather trying to than improve the game, the kept trying to balance, and re-balance for online players. Maybe it had something to do with making it harder to cheese, I don't know, but the gameplay became worse each time.

I remember in the first version, I was pleased to see my QB's and HB's not getting run down from behind by DT's with 25 less spd, acc, etc. But with each new patch, it slowly but surely worked it's way back in, and the CPU D-line in this game is now monstrous. 75% of the play's the DT, regardless of his ratings and the O-lines ratings, he shrugs the O-lineman aside like he's a giant marshmallow. D-lineman ignore their ratings in this game, it's that simple, they can go as fast as they want(seriously I've seen them keep pace with 99 spd guys in the open field) and they are as strong as they want.

Honestly I don't share the same love for 11 like others do, yeah it's a better game but it's still 3 steps forward, 2 steps back every single year.

If someone's going to donate for someone they should donate for me. Since I want to change my user name and get a shirt since I didn't do either of those when I actually donated.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Opinions of my username. Go.

Should it be changed? What should change? Should I drop "eaglesfan" or maybe even drop "12eaglesfan"?

You know you can still change your name if you never requested a name change when you donated. Just PM Steve and make sure the name you want isn't already taken.

So, are you going to officially change your name to Pedrobear?

Spoiler

Surely you saw that coming

Re: Off Topic 2011

IMO one of the best feelings in the world is when you are shaving trying to get a nice beard, and you get it. Man, sometimes trying to have nice trimmed beard can be so difficult, but when you nail it, it requires a nice subtle fist pump.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Not having internet for a week because you use your cell phone as a modem (I live in the middle of gosh darn nowhere) and you're currently in the middle of a cell service carrier transfer sucks. I hate you, Verizon/Alltel for selling our contract to some company I've never heard of (Element Mobile).

That is all.

Also, I read an entire week's worth of OT just now, I think. How sad is that?

So true.......I hate when I have it, but second guess myself and cut it one more time and then totally mess it up. I use to do that a lot when I was younger, now I don't second guess myself.

When you rocking a nice beard cut, it is party time, feel like you on top of the world

Re: Off Topic 2011

@ the blue balls joke.

I meant that I'm probably donating soon. I won another $10 on OS Matchup so now I got $20 in my Paypal that I can send back to Steve once they send me what I won today.

Not a bum anymore.

That is true........with every patch and tuner, the defense got faster and stronger. And the offense line got dumber and weaker. And the QB has gotten completely brain dead.

When asked if he was excited for baseball season, Jnes said

Excited? I am wearing a Cliff Lee jersey. In JANUARY.

Agreed...option being useless in CFB is dumb. I traded it in for madden post patch 5
