I had it until ESPN came out. It had it's moments, but it wasn't the title for me. R&L is nice. Audio is nice (not the commentary).

So I take it the XSN just does not add enough to the game to make it worthwhile

XSN was cool, but not quite enough to make me want to play fever most. Fever wasn't terrible, but I enjoy ESPN a whole lot more. I think XSN will be fun for Links and Top Spin though, because those games will be top quality, and XSN won't have to carry anything.

For me this is a very new and totally different why to see football(in a game) to have the game give you the option to control the game speed is kinda cool helps me read coverages in this game which makes me better at ESPN and Madden. I know its not the most strategic stategy game out there but its good.Good enought for me to still pull it out and just enjoy be cause I just enjoy football this game is FUN in a good way Kinda like watching FOOTBALL in a not so serious way.Then, theres Madden when you want to be serious or ESPN whichever I like'em both.Its different and has its own style and no sliders makes it simple.After awhile adjusting you just can't adjust anymore,with Fever its pretty basic,it either does it for you or it doesn't have any excues,take it back no problem.Hopefully you're left with the memory of at least an OK Football Video game not a really serious game but just good enough.Me myself I'm BIASED I like College,Pro,High School just Football.I commend the hard work those guys put out even if it isn't the power houses that ESPN and Madden are its a new Kid on the block and I'd like to get to know him before he grows up into a Madden,ESPN.Maybe one day when this kid grows up he'll look into the camers and say Hi coach. As you can tell I like this GAME thats what is a game and this game is FUN, that is for me.So give it a little love its got a Future in Video Gaming Football watch and see.Go BUCKEYES

R&L was nice, but I don't have the time to play it at the moment. I might trade it in for ESPN...I dunno yet, since I probably won't have time to play that.

del88 · 09-19-2003, 09:00 AM

I still play it. Though the first person view on ESPN is pretty fun.

golucky · 09-19-2003, 09:52 AM

I still play it (Read and Lead only) and I now hate one button. It's just to easy to run up the score with one button, IMO. I know that this game has it's lumps, but I like RnL and XSN enough for me to not care about them.

griffy97 · 09-19-2003, 02:54 PM

I'm now hitting over 55% of my passes with Read & Lead (insert congratulations here

....thanks)

My only real gripe with this game is the simmed stats on anything other than 5-minute quarters. That just stinks! I believe that if you take the time to introduce an 8-minute quarter option into the game, then sim the stats for 8 minutes. For me, 5-minute quarters isn't long enough.

Oh yeah, BTW, last night I took a kickoff 93 yards to the house! With Lee Mays of the Steelers. Yeah, so it was against Cincy.

This is exactly why I like it.

It's not as technical as Madden or ESPN. Which is not a bad thing on their part either.
