whats all this with search bars, is a thing im apparently not nerdy enough to understandSouplex said:
Still not the best viewing experience, but it's less stop-start and is much simpler, therefore easier to watch. American football looks like an overcomplicated, slowed down version of rugby, Baseball doesn't look like an inferior version of a foreign game so I don't sit there thinking "why would anyone bother with this over cricket" or whatever.Just_A_Glitch said:
the control system is tarded? all the ones ive ever played either make passing so easy that a 3 yr old can make 3 40 yard passes in 3 downs, or impossible because you can't see the damn ball. also, it's just not as entertainig as something else, like say, fps, or rpg.
Oh, come on. The ads during the superbowl are the best we see (in the US of A) all damn year. They're a big part of why I even watch.YouCallMeNighthawk said:
To me, watching football is something I would like to do in a group, or with someone like my one-hundred-year-old granddad (the last game he watched made him throw his cane at the TV in frustration- hilarious). Gaming is something I do alone, because having to tell a mob of advice-spewing friends to fuck off is rather distracting. The Madden series just takes the worst of both worlds and glues them together.
Pfff. Most of the US says the exact same thing about what we call soccer and the rest of the world calls football. Given the choice, I would much rather watch Americanischefußball than Fußball. On TV, the former looks rather like some sort of ancient military exercise (imagination required), while the latter looks too much like a bunch of marbles rolling about in a bowl.Dys said:
However, I prefer playing soccer because the cuts in the action are few and far between, and also because I've been on the bottom of a football pigpile more than once, and I nearly suffocated. The worst thing that's going to happen to you in soccer is getting kicked in the shins- much more refined.
To each his own, I guess. I've never been more bored than the day that my father took to out to the ballgame, whereas the football game we went to is still one of the highlights of my life.Dys said:
However, baseball was my favorite sport to play when I was younger. I was damned good. I wish I hadn't stopped playing. Could have possibly gone somewhere with it.
I generally agree with the fact that sports games aren't usually fun.SL33TBL1ND said:
But it's like saying 'If you want to play counter-strike, go outside with a gun.'
or 'If you want to race, get your car and race.'
even 'If you want to role-play go and role-play'
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Games are supposed to only add on minor additions and tweaks? First of all, a lot of people like original games like, say, Psychonauts. (Just an example.) Psychonauts, while it may have taken some pointers from other games and movies, it didn't add minor tweaks and changes to something that already existed. The art was not from a previous game, nor was the soundtrack, cast of characters, or exact method of playing and combat.lokun489 said:
If you were talking about sequels, I understand a bit more, but sequels are supposed to add more things than Madden does. I wouldn't pick up Half Life 2, Episode 3 and start to play it, only to find that the maps and enemies are exactly the same, and the only things that really changes the experience are a graphics boost and Gordon Freeman's new pink tutu.
lol yeah the ads are awesome (mostly) but it does grate when they are on every 0.2 secondsSpekter068 said:
*slight exaggeration there*Also football used to be a good game until it became about getting freekicks and penalties in stead of you know ... SCORING GOALS!!!!
but referee he looked at me wrong he needs to be sent off! bunch of whiney over paid babies!!
Now American footballers take the full force of a slam and get back up and carry on. Same is with rugby much more of a mans sports compared to football.
