Too many games, too little time

Posted on October 21, 2013 at 06:38 PM.

OK, I'm finally where I always wanted to be;
I've got Madden12 working
NBA2K13
MLBtheShow13
NCAA14
NCAA 2K08 BB

Now.. The problem is.. Where to start, and a system for keeping up with the Franchise modes in all of these games simultaneously.
I'm thinking about bringing all the games up to the same calendar date. Let's say Aug 11th 2011. And then follow each day.
How do you all handle this? Is there one way that's better ... Read More

I come to this site daily. In fact, other than Google News, its the only site I visit regularly.
I've been a member for four years now.
After reading posts complaining about this and that.
And witnessing and also contributing (I have to admit) to all the gnashing of teeth over sliders..I have come to realize one thing...
You guys have no idea what you're doing. You think you do, but you don't.
First, the sliders... For one thing,
Sliders for head-to-head ... Read More

Server Offline...

Posted on October 6, 2013 at 06:26 PM.

FYI; to a lot of people out there...If you put out a product, and the demand for that product is so great that it overwhelms your servers... You srart popping Champagne and dancing on the tables because you know you have a hit.
Every Company in the World wants their Servers to crash.
Every Talkshow host wants so many calls that their phone line shuts down. That's called a HIT!!
To claim that a product is a failure because their servers can't handle the load, is not only false ... Read More

Excessive Irritating Pop Ups

Posted on September 17, 2013 at 08:54 PM.

(11)

I know OS needs to generate Revenue by Advertising. I get that.
But so help me, if I see that stupid Helicopter one more time, or get redirected to Amazon.Com one more time...I'm going to walk to OS headquarters and personally stuff somebody's head up their youknowwhat.
This is sooooo irritating. I can't read a post without getting it blocked by a popup.
You need to exercise some quality control.

Alternatives to NCAA Football?

Posted on August 24, 2013 at 12:15 AM.

(2)

So let's say that there will never be another College Sports game.. Ever.
Are there any suitable alternatives?

1) Arena Football...Sure its been done before. But now without resources being lent out to NCAA, maybe there could actually be interest in Arena Football
2) The CFL...I don't know much about the CFL, maybe a video game might garner some interest?
3) Historic Madden...Imagine a Madden game totally based on the 1967 football season.. Lombardi's Packers, ... Read More

Certain teams that fail to live up to RL

Posted on July 22, 2013 at 09:04 PM.

I play CPU vs CPU, and I have noticed that Alabama in NCAA, the Patriots in Madden, and the Spurs in 2K consistently fail to live up to their real life counterparts.
My guess is that those teams have intrinsic traits that doesn't translate into the video game universe.

Gay Athletes

As most of you have heard, Jason Collins has come out and announced that he is Gay. We as members of OS have tackled many issues before. This needs to be discussed intelligently as well.

Now, personally this doesnt bother me any more than if he announced he was wearing a different brand of deodorant.
Good for him. I wish him well. And I hope there's no backlash.
Oh, and its about time.
But that's just one fringe level basketball player. He's expendable. ... Read More

To OSFM or to not OSFM, that is the question

Posted on April 6, 2013 at 07:44 PM.

(1)

First of all, I want to state right up front that I think MK Knight and his co-horts are Heroes in the Video Game World.
I can't tell you how many message boards on other sites reference the OSFM Rosters and the work that MK Knight does every year, BTW, for no pay! Just so that slubs like me can have accurate Minor League Rosters in our silly little video game universe.
To think that on OTHER sites, members are as anxiously awaiting MK Knights work as much as on OS. I think that's ... Read More

Maybe you can call me an old fogie. But honestly, its not just me.
But Music today is CRAAAP on a platter.
And no, I'm not going to waste time telling you about how good the music was back in my day; Cuz it ain't about me. And the ones I'm trying to get to arent listening anyway.
I just listened to this thrown-together mishmash that Beyonce calls her new hit. "I been Down". Horrible!!!
Add Beyonce to Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Justin Bieber Kasha, The Black ... Read More

New Orleans nickname scramble

Posted on December 4, 2012 at 11:08 PM.

I'm reading where the Hornets want to change their name and colors. New owner Tom Bensman is leaning towards the State bird, the Brown Pelican. He says he'd like to reclaim the Jazz Nickname from Utah.And on top of that, Charlotte is hoping to reclaim the "Hornets" Nickname as well.
I never did understand the Jazz being in Utah. I doubt there's ten people in Utah that listen to, or have ever heard Jazz in their lifetime,
A much better name for Utah would be the old "Stars" name from ... Read More
