Hey Steve, hows the defensive line pass rush, do they do a better job getting to the QB and as with Fevers in the past, can QB's still get outside the rush and run for days?

Depending on the skill level. On the lower levels, I could spend all day back there, on All-Pro only on a few occasions could I roll out and have all day. I'm sure All-Fever mode wouldn't give you too much time.

Does it have the alternate uniforms from last year(Broncos & Browns orange jerseys, Saints gold jerseys, Panthers blue jerseys, etc.)? Does the schedule rotate properly in dynasty or do you get things like the NFC East playing the AFC East 2 or 3 years in a row?

Almost every team has alternate jerseys. I can't remember what specific colors there are, but they are in the game.

Hmm, good question, I'll check it out.

Steve, I love you man!

1)You think fever got a chance this year?

2)Did you saw any fumbles? and how many?

3)Playing 8 min qtrs did you get realistic scores?

thansks for everything steve!

Steve_OS · 08-04-2003, 12:36 PM

I didn't even bother simming w/ 10 min. qtrs. since the 8 min. qtrs were a little more over the top. I did check the scores and there were occasional 50 pointers up there. But most were 28-17, 35-34, 38-3, and some lower scoring ones. All in all, not too bad.

Could you be a little more specific with the read and lead? fever is a very fast paced game. I am wondering how much time you really have to read the coverage and lead the receiver. I'm very excited about this aspect, but wonder how well it is really implemented.

What is the lurning curve with the read and lead? I want o get on Xbox Live right away, but if the learning curve is low, I can wait a day or 2 to get it straight.

Oh, I love it. In the difficulty setting I have it on, I have the time to read the coverage and make the throw. I can't tell you how much fun it is. You can underthrow your reciever if he's covered tightly or throw it a little high so it's over the outstretched arms of the DB. Nice stuff!!

Well, everyone is different. It might take some people a lot longer, but it took me a good hour or so in practice mode to get a good feel for it. It could be even quicker for some people.

Fever has a great shot this year. With XSN Sports, I see big things coming. That's not to say I'm not getting ESPN and Madden this year.

I saw a few fumbles. Never did I see more than 1 per game. I haven't played in the snow yet, but I've played in the rain.

I had realistic stats, but the CPU unfortunatly did not, when simming.

Thanks Steve!

another question:

What can you tell us about the crowd? Sounds? and the commentary?

Thanks!
