Will MLB 11 the Show have an impact on Microsoft? 2K?

So OS is bursting at the seams with MLB 11 info and as a gamer whose main squeeze of the virtual world is baseball video games, I can say without hesitation that I have NEVER been this excited for a release...EVER.

I mean they are two different animals and I get that but by comparison, MLB 11 is making NBA 2k11 look like Double Dribble in my eyes (although DD was fantastic for back in the day).

I am not going to go over all the new features, you can read about those in ... Read More

On Amazon.com this morning NBA 2k11 and Madden 11 for PS3 went on sale simultaneously at 1120 Eastern time. Madden for $29 and NBA 2k11 for $29.99.

NBA 2k11 sold out in 6 MINUTES!! 40 minutes later there are still plenty of copies of Madden to go around.

Seriously, at that price they are practically giving them away and nobody wants them.

As someone who grew up playing Madden and played it to death when Sega Genisis was all the rage in a college dorm ... Read More

I have spent most of my off day today working on the Cardinal roster and other things to do with Cardinal basketball in the game. I created a closed legacy and saved it to 2kshare under "Cards Basketball 2010-2011" Here is a breakdown:

What you get:

-The Cards basketball roster for 2010-2011. I used the most downloaded 2010-2011 as of today. These rosters look pretty good but there were some errors with Louisville. I looked at other teams and they looked passable. Sorry ... Read More

Game Changer: Why getting what we want isnt necessarily what we need.

"Its a good lesson though. Now I can just hold on to NCAA 11 and probably NBA 2k11 through next year until I can give them the proper amount of playtime.

One game has changed the way that I will buy video games, probably forever. Thank you SCEA for saving me some cash next year."

I wrote this a few days ago on a thread I started on the MLB 10 The Show message boards. The thread was about the fact that I love football but was still playing The Show deep into football season ... Read More

Uh oh, NBA Live 10 is not that bad, now what?

What a strange world I liive in. I spent the $60 for NBA 2k11 and yet last night I found myself playing the NBA Live 10 demo. We aren't talking about the game, we are talking about the Demo..and I LIKED IT!

I have been on the 2k bandwagon for years and 2k11 is a candidate for GOY so I am not, and will not disperage it for fear of being electronically stoned to death. However, one could argue that NBA Live 10 is more fun to play.

Maybe that's because its a little easier ... Read More

Since this is my first blog, let me introduce myself. My name is Jeremy, I am 35 years old and I have been playing video games since the early 80's. If you can name a major system, I have owned it. If you can name a major sports game, I have played it. I am not a hardcore gamer. I do not understand ALL of the intricucies of what goes into creating a game or dev cycles or anything like that. Alot of of what I am going to say here is not based on fact. It is pure speculation on my part.
