Thoughts on Longshot?

[Boling4Humor]

Longshot was pretty awesome. The story pulled me in, the characters developed well, the moments of gameplay were great (especially with the high school games). I didn't realize how much time went by when I played this either.

I'm not saying it should have taken priority over franchise, but I'm not going to pretend I didn't like it either.

Controlling the football left an right after it was thrown was a little odd but that was about it.

What did you all think?

😅 that's the exact same way I was feeling about it, since I was going to try the mode out and then get off after 20... 3 hours later I found out I was at the credits.

I thought it was ok. Mainly just made me mad seeing how much work must of gone in to all of this acting and CGI and then CFM mode got a window dressing.

I played it some and don't like it. First of all it's mostly on rails. You get very little actual control over where the story goes (that it is full of flashbacks requires this.) If you mess up a game or drill it just restarts you. I get no sense of accomplishment.

Most of the choices aren't choices, and the ones that are aren't fun. Most of the time it's going to circle you back to wherever the game needs you to go whatever you "decide," and the other times it's just a "who do I want to disappoint this time" type of thing where you have to dick over your friend to look good to the All-Seeing-Scouts who apparently watch your instagram but don't show up to your combine.

The highschool games are fun. The commentary is great. That's my only positive. I gave the mode way more of a shot than I thought it would (think I stopped at about 20%) but this sort of thing just isn't fun to me at all. I have 0 desire to continue.

I enjoyed it myself. Finished it up today. There are things you can fail at but I don't like the ability to lose and continue anyway in certain situations. The high school stuff, 7 on 7 and the final game were my favorite parts of it. The characters were all around good and there were some pretty funny moments (the girl solider calling Colt out for being slow) but yeah I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see where it goes next year as my Wade and Cruise get to play for the Redskins!

There really is no choices. The only choice that effects the ending is whether you throw to Colt or Forsett. Everything else is pretty much meaningless.

Cringey, liberal-feelie-fake-emotion stuff. Poor me crap. It's like America's Got Talent or other shows: has to be a sob story or it's a no-go.

Besides that it's a blatant rip-off of 2K's thing, and Rex's "They came at us bro" response to franchise....just absolutely pathetic.

Fyi if you create these guys the broadcast team calls their name.
