OH! Do you think wrestling is a sport? If you don't, you still have sort of a point. If you do, then well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattZakrowski Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) The guided missile pressure button has been removed, and I guess you have to play real defense now. Also youth squads/scouting is in Manager Mode, so that's huge for me. Can't wait to play it tonight. Really got to play a good amount of this for the first time tonight, and it's so much fun. No more race down the wings and cross, the game plays more like real soccer than any game I've ever played. I feel like I'm scoring goals in so many different ways now, which is a ton more fun. Doing a manager mode with AFC Wimbledon in League 2 and I'm spending all of my money on scouting/youth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get the game with the lockout looming, it will just piss me off. I'm going to make all time rosters to cheer me up from the lockout. Though apparently 2k12 doesn't allow moving classic teams players...I think I might know a way around it, if you can still export teams from association. Edit: Russell is a monster. I really want to play this matchup Russell vs. Gilmore McHale vs. Love Bird vs. Pippen Havlicek vs. Jordan Cousy vs. Rose But I don't know if I can. Stupid new team system.

kjshoe04 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Sucks that you can't move classic team players. Last year I replaced all the worst players in the leagues with the classic players and started a franchise with a fantasy draft. That was some fun stuff.

T R U Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) Let me know if you like it. Hell no im not doing that.. the $7.95 a month is just a starter price, this is what the real prices were.. $25 a month for 2 games at a time $15 a month for 1 game at a time So lets do the math.. For $300 a year I can "rent" 2 games at a time or I can buy and own 5 games For $180 a year I can "rent" 1 game at a time or I can buy and own 3 games This isn't even taking into account that I have gotten between $20-30 in credit for games that I have traded in at Gamestop thus reducing the price of a new game from $60 to $30 to sometimes free.. For instance, I have Madden12 and GOW3 right now, plus a $5 preorder on Batman AND an extra $20 from my last store credit Currently, Arkham City is going to cost me $40.. Well I plan on trading in Madden and Gears before I pick up Batman.. Gears already has an automatic $30 trade in if you do it before November 19th or something.. that drops Batman down to $10.. Now add in Madden, which is prolly going to be between $20-25.. now Batman is free and I have extra credit to go into my account.. Oh, and I forgot to mention I get an extra 30% on my trade ins due to it going towards Batman and me being a powerup member.. So basically, I am going to get about $65-70 for trading in two games which will give me a new game at no cost to me, and leave me with extra credit in my account for the next game I will be buying (MW3) Basically, after seeing the prices, I don't understand how Gamefly gets any business ESPECIALLY from a casual gamer.. Why would you spend all that money a month when realistically buying games and trading them in when you're done with them is far and away a better financial decision.. Honestly, I cant remember the last time that I paid full price for a video game, its been years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious what the new Netflix model will be. Considering 1 DVD at a time is only $8 a month and Blu-ray makes it $10 I can't imagine video games would even double that (which would still be less than Gamefly). If it's another $8 I'd consider going on and off it every few months, but if it's $5 a month I might keep it year round. I'm more hopeful than realistic I think though.

I can agree to this. Every time I get a game it's normally half-off. I cannot f***ing wait for Arkham City. PS - played about 20 minutes of RAGE. I think I am just anti-shooter. The first five "foes" that you have to shoot are exactly the f***ing same. No difference in appearance or how they act. No graphics in the world could get me to bother with 10 hours of that s*** with zero story line to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbox has games now and they are $2 per day.. I got Dead Island from a redbox as a way to try it out, and I didn't like it.. Im glad that only cost me $2 to find that out instead of much more..

chw42 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 2K12's gameplay is so much smoother this year. Only got to play it for about a half hour, but I absolutely loved it. The smallest details are captured this year. They re-did Rose's jumper and it looks exactly how he shoots in real life. Boozer also does his screwed up fadeaways just like real life. They put so much attention to detail this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
