LOL. Yeah, but considering I've played a lot of games since I was 9, I probably should have known!

When I was 9 there were no video games, no cable, no computers. Damn I'm old.

Yeah there were Eddie. But not everybody had a computer. Commodore Pet was out. Then there was Atari. 19, I don't even remembering being 19. lol

Me neither, I guess I missed out. I do remember intelevision or something like that.

I would bet it's several weeks old, same as The Show demo. The Show demo is from a build around mid December of last year. It was a lot different from the one we played in San Diego. There is some type of approval and stuff they have to go through just to release these things, so I'm guessing 2k has done the same thing. I wouldn't doubt it's a month old, minimum. But, just guessing.

Thanks Jim. Gives us a lot to look forward to with both games.

I gotta say, as incredibly cool as this real world stuff is, the animations just suck the life right out of it.

Ex: Kazmir is on the ground with his head injury, all happening in real time which was AWESOME. But then, suddenly he just pops up (with tons of missing frames/animations... he's just suddenly standing) and walks off the field.

As well as they have implimented this thing, that kind of stuff just kills it. It's sort of a double-edged sword. VC has done something never done before, but by doing so, the omissions or mistakes are just that much more obvious.

Jim, I didn't know there is an approval process for Beta copies and whatnot. This makes me feel even better! The thought that what we see here may be a game a month away from completion gets me a little more excited.
