I wrote back in March about how my win/loss % has dropped greatly and I blame OS. Tougher sliders and sim like play = more fun yet more losses its crazy.
Madden:8-8/ 6-10 (with Cleveland)
NCAA: 13-1/ 14-0 (with Toledo)
NBA: 8-14 (with Detroit)
NHL: 4-7-2 (with Montreal)
MLB: 45-44/ 3-6 (with Detroit and Balt)
NCAA BB: 18-8 (with Toledo)
Total record: 119-100
Total record w/o NCAA FB: 86-99

2011 is shaping up to be a big year for sports games. The info released for NCAA 12 has me impressed, Madden 12 looks to finally be the game we have been waiting for! FIFA 12 sounds impressive as well as NHL 12 and NBA 2k12. Add in the fact that Nascar returned this year The Tiger Woods Masters tie in was amazing and Fight Night Champions was a solid title 2011 is the year of the sports game.
I don't see my wallet handling all of these titles but, Madden 12 is shaping up to be a ... Read More

Man I am amazed I was looking back at my 2k10 titles last year. I am still working on MLB 2k10 (30-33) NBA 2k10 (4-9) and NHL 2k10 (1-4-1). That is a total record of 35-46-1 not good at all.
Total win % 42.6 Add in Madden (8-8) NCAA football (14-1) and NCAA basketball (17-7) and my total record is 74-62-1 for a total win % of 54%. The only Post season play that any of my teams saw was the Toledo Rockets in the Little Ceasers Bowl. Before OS I used to go to the playoffs and win titles every ... Read More

October 21st, 2006 was the day when life became more than me, myself and I. It was the day that my oldest daughter was born. After 2:30 that afternoon I was no longer "Scott" I was now "Dad" It is the most demanding, draining, difficult job that I have ever had in my life. Now 4 years later I am proud of who my little girl is and I wouldn't change a thing about her. She is a great big sister to her two younger sisters and makes me smile everyday.
Bella you and your sisters are ... Read More

I was getting ready to watch game 7 of the NBA Finals last night and that's when my wife says to me "either I just peed myself, or my water just broke." Well her water did break and 4 hours later my third baby girl was born. Mom and baby are fine and resting comfertably as this dad ponders why did God bless me with the honor and privalge to raise three girls? I hope and pray that she grows up and feels loved. Video games will be played a little less this year but, I hope that she is sleeping ... Read More

I am taking a road down memory lane as I have played every Madden since 1991 and I have kept every Madden since 06 I will be going back and replaying them and reviewing them again. Hopefully it will be a good read.

I was just organizing my house today and was organizing my game collection and wow. This year I purchased Madden 10, NHL 2k10, MLB 2k10, NBA 2k10, Raw vs. Smackdown 10, FIFA 10, Fight Night 4, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Didn't realize that I spent that much $$ this year. Oh well I am having a blast.

My wonderful wife of almost 5 years turns 29 today. She is my best friend and biggest fan. She supports my gaming/comic/bodybuilding hobbies that alone makes her awesome.
We have two children already and she is pregnant with our 3rd child due in July. (this is her 4th pregnancy in 5 years) She is a great wife and mother and I love her more each year.
She may not understand why I need to spend $60 on each years version of Madden "why do you need the same game every ... Read More

I have a problem guys. Too many games to play and not enough time to play them. I am trying to finish my NBA 2k8 season, my NCAA Basketball 10 season, my MLB 2k10 season, and my NHL 2k10 season. I love all these games as well as Raw vs. Smackdown 10 and FN4 this year but, how am I going to finish a season with 2 kids, (plus a 3rd one due in July) career, and other obligations. Maybe I should quit working out or sleeping

It's been a good year of gaming.

I am getting sick and tired of this crap. I go to fire up my 360 Thursday night and boom RROD for the 3rd freaking time
I don't have $100 to fix the thing and sure as heck don't have $300 to get a PS3.
I have a large library of games and find it hard to get rid of them all and starting over my dynasties etc...
I have found a place in MI that takes walk-ins and will repair it for $40 I think that I will repair it but, I will not be purchasing ... Read More

Today was my youngest daughters birthday party. She was actually born on December 27th around 2:30 am. We don't know the exact time because my wife went into labor 5 weeks early and things moved so fast I delivered the baby in the bathtub
From that moment she has been daddy's girl and I love her so freaking much. Today is your day to be a princess enjoy it baby.
Video Games will wait today as I celebrate my true passion you and your sister are the best things ... Read More

NCAA Basketball was one of my most back and forth games of the year. One day it was an opening day purchase for me the next was we'll wait and see. I ended up getting it release day and have played it non stop since.
Review:
Presentation: 10.0 I think this game sets the new standard for all sports games.
Sound: 7.0 The crowd gets wild and there are 2 sets of commentators. The "good foul" statement gets old fast.
Gameplay: 8.0 The game ... Read More

Just want to say happy Thanksgiving to everyone here at OS. It has been a fun year being a member here with people as passionate about their sports game as much as I am. Everyone be safe enjoy the football and time with friends and family.
If anyone is going out tomorrow for their shopping please be nice to the workers they had to get up even earlier than you did and are only doing their jobs. This is my 16th year working in a mall for christmas season

I have had terrible luck with xbox 360's this last 2 months. My 1st system went down in late June, get a used system on ebay a week later only to have that go down late July. I am now staring at my replecement (thank goodness for the warrenty) so for 5 of 8 weeks I have had no xbox 360 and with Fight Night 4, Madden 10 coming out I have been so freaking mad. Time to hit some games tonight.

I wrote a blog back in June about my systme RROD on me and how it sucked. I later purchased a used system on ebay and 3 weeks later it will not load the games at all. The seller is being helpful and will replace the system for me but, yet again I am down an xbox for a while. I just wish that Microsoft would ship out a good product instead of this crap that I am replacing every month.
