EA SPORTS World: Monroe


(Testing) Monroe eating the contact.......this games isnt perfect but its very fun.. i lost my 1st game 48-42 to Cuse but it was about late in the 2nd half i started to figure out how to play effective defense.

I haven't checked. The players are right, its not that, its the faces. They are so off that its ridiculous. And the limited amount of editing tools you have makes it so freaking frustrating.

Also, I don't see where using the name database makes any difference when playing the game. I have yet to have Nessler or Vitale call a guy by name.

as for the player editors its gonna be tough cause there are 10 complexions you can choose from and each complexion has its own pre determine sets hairstyles and facial hair somewhere between 2 and 3 sets.

....thanks for responding. That sucks....its definitely not a game-killer, but its a small, simple thing i wish was there.

Still waiting for a few more dynasty impressions before making my final decision.

Seems like only the PA guy says the names

This game is def not perfect. But it really is a ton of fun. Just took the Campbell Fightin Camels into OT against Jacksonville and won on a last second 3. The Carter was rockin.

Is there an auto name feature so I can do that while waiting for a OS edited roster?

Agreed.

There is quite a bit that they need to work on and tweak for next year, but the game is fun and the game is solid. They really need to focus on more little things in my opinion and they need to provide more options to the user when editing.

the one thing that I enjoy is that I can play 20 minute halves and have realistic scores and such.

im not sure didnt see it but it did take me like 10 minutes to do Georgetown Roster so i doubt the OS project will take that long to complete

These are the kind of things that I am looking for. I can't stand people asking is such n such #4, can you check such n such rating, etc...

I understand that people are still not sure if they are picking this up but, it's really annoying to search each and every post to see if someone is asking a stupid question or if someone that has the game is giving their thoughts.

is it simulation or arcadey? i don't really care about "fun" - i play sports games because they play (statistically) realistic. thanks!
 
# 77 Cusefan @ 11/18/08 02:34 PM
well i just finished my first game...

I played 10 min halfs, Difficulty on All American, and I played as Syracuse vs Gtown at the Carrier dome. Here are some impressions:

The Bad
-Seemed to easy, i won 47-25, maybe the hardest difficulty will be a little more realistic.
-Not enough fouls, i think Syracuse and Gtown combined with about 4 fouls all together.
- My FG% was like 79%- WAY WAY WAY to high
- Generic looking coaches on the sideline( hopefully this can be edited)
- Warm up the bus chant is headache inducing

The Good
- I love the flow of the game, This is as close of to real College BBall as it gets
- Fast Breaks are done beautifully, they dont happen all the time but they are not all that rare
- I love the Tempo Gimmick, it works really well
- Crowds sound awesome
- sloppy passes will get picked off
- Defense is actually fun to play( Syracuse runs a beautiful 2-3 zone!)
- The Carrier dome looks great ( Except the Carrier dome got rid of the blue divider)
- Player models look great
- player animations look great


Overall i think this has the potential to be a very good game once the sliders come out and hopefully a patch to fix some of the little problems ( please EA, tone down the bus Chant!). Hopefully the fouls will be able to be fixed with sliders but overall i am impressed with this...

That's great to hear. Have you had a chance to play any online games? If so, how does it play? Any lag, glitching, etc...

Also, how is the rivalry feature for online as far as finding someone to play with?

Thanks again for posting.
