Re: OS Fact or Fiction: Gamers Should Remember to Have Fun

Fact. I think it's good to strive for realism and the closer you can get, the better. And I think the game company has some responsibility to try and make the game better each year so they're not charging $60 for a roster and uniform update. But at some point, you as the player have to throw your hands up, realize it's never TOTALLY going to get there, and enjoy a game for what it is rather than what it isn't. Maybe it's because I'm old enough to remember days when the NFLPA and the league weren't in sync, so one game would have real teams with players' numbers instead of names, and another would have real players, but the teams would be generic cities and the colors might not even match (why's Pittsburgh green again?). To say nothing of the fact that you could pretty much run certain plays and players for automatic scores every time. (Tim Smith of the Redskins the year after he won the Super Bowl MVP, sweep right... gone.) By comparison, we're in the salad days.
