Ugh, I never wanna grow up.

... no offense.

Thanks! Yep, the big 23 when nobody likes you. :-P

Hey, I asked about the A's covers..Mark Ellis and Rickey Henderson..just want to ask if you do it, can u do it for xbox360. thanks

Haha yeah thanks man!

I couldn't even tell ya... but it's not that it's "hard" work, it's just time consuming.

haha, nice!

Obviously, the best costume ever.

OK, I'll get to work on that after I play some long hours this weekend.

You're behind on the times man. That happened like 5 months ago.

Carter has a GREAT TASTE in cars!

Im glad I didnt draft him in fantasy baseball...But I did draft Jimmy Rollins and he struggles to hit .200

you're right about the defense and momentum problem in general.. It was actually FUN to play defense on PS2/Xbox & I really enjoyed gearing my recruiting efforts to become a shut down defensive team... now all that is lost, and its just a burden to play D. I felt like I had a chance to make a big play on every defensive possession on LG, but next gen the CPU offense is chaotic & the twitch running kills everything.

I'm praying that the firmware update 3.0 allows my PS3 to become fully backwards compatable so I can buy NCAA 10 for PS2..... sad its come to this.

Are you buying NCAA 10 for PS3/360 new this year?

OVERRATED!!!

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I don't check this often.

It seemed better than last year, but it didn't blow me away by any means. I'll probably get the game, but I'm not as excited about it as in years past. Hopefully, the final build will be a little better and playing with teams that I actually like will make it more entertaining.

Also, it's hard to get a feel as to how the game really plays since it's only the elite teams. I haven't seen enough incomplete passes in the demo, but then again we are playing with two of the best QBs in the game, so it's hard to tell for sure.

Happy Birthday Rudy!!!

Day 2 of 3 for training. Almost fell asleep yesterday and won't be on the boards much again.

Going out of town for the next couple days. I'll be pretty quiet although I think the hotel has a free computer room to surf at night/early morning.

Which reminds me, I need to get you back on my PSN friend's list, too ... I don't have to lug my TV & PS3 upstairs anymore to get online (if you remember that). I had deleted everyone from my friend's list for that reason (I simply never played online, so what's the point?) but now ... well, you get it.

I knew you seemed familiar!

Undefeated.

No his contract ended..they aren't resigning him...

They like James Sanders and Meriweather and Tank

Agree the CPU doesn't take enough deep shots in Madden.

Thanks for the B-day wishes...I too think the Pats need another backer. I was just playing devils advocate..about how everyone says their old...but really losing Vrable and Harrison they aren't so old anymore.

It was from a local Leamington (Ontario) radio station 96.7. You can hear it in Detroit. It was for Canada Day, July 1st and they were giving out around 40 free tickets to the game. I won a four pack and they gave us all free lunch at the Hockeytown Cafe. During the lunch they raffled off some prizes with the big one being the right to throw out the first pitch. My wife won (she was 6 months pregnant) and let me throw it out.

It's a cool story I'll always be able to tell. This was about 5 years ago and Jason Smith actually caught the pitch. He had just been called up a few weeks earlier and I had no clue who he was. He autographed the ball but I don't think its worth anything lol.

still had to be a blast. What station did you win it from? I live in Toledo and attend about 3 games a year.

that had to be awesome man!!

Happy Easter everyone! Some good music in church today and the kids were almost able to sit through everything lol.

I was trying to reorganize them, and clean them up. Time got away from me and they are currently a disaster, so I closed it down so I could fix it. Sorry

Hey dude I'm not sure if I saw this previously. Thank you very much. I really enjoyed that period in my life where I was a part of the Community Leaders group. Will never forget it...

no worries. the blog actually is posted twice on the blog pages because i changed the name after i posted it. that might have something to do with it. or it could be just OS. lol

It was in NYIsles b-day thread. I knew I wasn't crazy since I couldn't find it in the Show threads.

Gotta link me where he said I got one. LOL

Gotta link me where he said I got one. LOL

LOL, really? Nah, with the economy, I just can't plunk down the cash. I'm playing The Show on the PSP, and just not feeling it. 2K9 may not be perfect, but having a fun time with it. With my son now, such limited time for even one system, let alone throwing another in the mix.

Negative, just couldn't pull the trigger, not for one game.

Haha awesome, okay. I'll add ya.

Hey man, what's your PSN ID?

Mine's Blzer.

I'm in Ireland now, so waiting on its delivery at the weekend/start of next week. Both games have been shipped, but The Show shipped a day earlier.

I'll definitely give my impressions. I see the game going places, and would like to make my own mind up rather than relying on sometimes one sided opinions online.

All the best,
Joe.

I'm out of town until Thursday night. Won't be around if anyone cares.

Thanks! I agree about the squeeze plays. I've only had the CPU with a baserunner on 3rd 4 times in about 7-8 times played. EVERY TIME they went for the squeeze. Prett unrealistic. Not the end of the world, and certainly better than cranking HR's all the time, but a bit odd.

Again, thanks for the comments

Thanks. I think that's Jim's masterpiece. Really great lighting. I've got to stop being lazy and add the rest (including my own captures from the demo)...lol.

Thanks for the comment!

-P

Just put away 10 bucks a month now and you'll be golden. Once more info starts dropping I think you'll be sold.

Going out of town until Tuesday night. Won't be posting anything for a little bit.

Thanks for the blog reply. I love the PSP version of The Show 08. I was just looking for a console version this year. I'll still play 08 on PSP when I'm on the go, or when the wife has control of the TV

The War and Peace recaps of the Show Answer threads are now done. I did 8 blogs and they are full of information. Thanks for all those that looked at them and thanks to all the community guys once again.

Rudy--I will definitely be doing something in the way of team breakdowns. I am still debating on how to format it and what exactly I want to do to make it different from other places.

Also--I am trying to get some Detroit people--writers, players, whoever--for a tiger's article.

I wish I had the talent for the baseball covers!

Thanks Rudy!

Good to hear from other "30 something" gamers" Rudy. I know there are a ton of us out there, but most keep it very quiet.......

Thanks for the friend request. You are one of the names on these boards that I snap to attention when I see one of your posts.

I continue to debate not to change minds, but to just talk football. Some very knowledgeable people on these boards, and some good old banter is fun.

Anyway, what changes will be made with some old has-beens cussing and discussing?

Thanks again.
