Peanut allergy can be that serious that you can't even be around it? My cousin and niece have peanut allergies but it was never that extreme where we couldn't eat peanuts around them and we just made sure to never have in the food we made.

As far as peanut dust, yes. My own little made up rule is if I can smell it, it is threatening. Thankfully, something like a ballpark has enough of an open air environment that it is non-affecting. Then again, I haven't ever really sat by a group of people just eating a bunch of peanuts.

There are just other things I have to be careful of as well, though. Coming into contact with peanut-contaminated products (and yes, I get to use the word contaminated to describe it haha) shouldn't be a bother in a way that it could like seep into my skin... at least I don't think... but what if I start eating other food thereafter? What if I rub my eyes afterward? Things like that also make it a heavy issue.

Many people have a peanut allergy, though some are more severe than others. At the time when I was blood-tested again around 12 years old, my allergist said that in her "32 years of testing for peanut allergies, [she had] never seen one more severe than [mine]." I guess I'm just that lucky kind of breed.

Can't decide if I want to get NHL, NBA, or FIFA and I need some help. I've heard a decent amount of not so great things about NHL and FIFA, and my roommate already has NBA (although I wouldn't mind my own copy to have my own MyGM stuff). With Battlefield coming out soon I can really only pick one and I'm the most indecisive person I've ever met, so any help would be great.

FIFA.

Although I'd definitely consider skipping out on all 3 if you don't HAVE to have your Sports Fix.

I say go with NBA but I'm not much of a NHL and FIFA person so my view may be skewed

That's why I'm trying to get NHL as a rental but no availability through Redbox or Gamefly so far...

Pretty much decided I'm gonna have to buy it used, play the **** out of it for 7 days then return it for cash back if I don't like it enough. If it's new you can only exchange it.

I'm on the fence as far as the sports fix is concerned. My game selection has been entirely one-dimensional since the Xbox/PS2 days; it's more or less been sports games or nothing, so I've been trying to diversify with Forza, GTA, Battlefield, etc. If I held off for a month I think I'd start to get the itch to play one of them, though.

I think FIFA may be the way to go, and just hope the negative reviews were exaggerated.

BF1...the game will be fully supported for at least 3 years.

BF4 was by far the best purchase I've had on my PS4 to date and their dedication to fix the launch and all the additions/DLC really impressed me.

EA Access is the only way to go. You get NHL, Fifa and NBA...if its 2K you're looking for basketball-wise that'd be your only set back.

NHL 17 is only marginally better than 16, and Fifa 16 is better than 17 IMO. Can't speak for NBA.

Anyway its a great deal, content vs price, the value is huge. Even if you don't want the games from last year (keep in mind this years lineup will eventually be on Access) you can get 10 hour trials of 17' for both Fifa and NHL.

Why would you need your own copy of NBA to have your own MyGM? Guessing you each have your own system, so couldn't you just borrow his copy to install it on your system to start your MyGM then just borrow his disc when you want to play?

As for which to get, NHL would be the only 1 of the 3 I'm interested in, so I can't really help you there.

I preferred NHL to NBA this year, JJ. Though NBA has been pissing me off as a series for a few years now. Add in moving screens that aren't called, and I wasn't having fun, even when winning.

It is pretty cool that there are so many great sports games out right now. Seems like every major sport has a solid representation to choose to play.

Oh yeah, especially college football. I mean, NCAA Football 17 is easily the best football game I have ever played, it's gonna be hard for them to top it next year.

It won't come close to NCAA Basketball 17 when it releases.

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I chose Off Topic.

I have just recently discovered Operation Sports, and I'm currently running a Kickstarter for an arcade football board game. I wanted to post about it in the 'Other Football Games' section of the forums. I was hoping that a mod would let me know if this is okay, and I would also need my privileges modified so that I could start the new thread if it is.

Thanks in advance!
