Finished the story mode last night. I don't know why, but I felt underwhelmed.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 08:57 PM) He just offered, no negotiation or anything. I think there is some risk in Bernard and some serious upside for Jeffrey, but obviously I thought I was getting the better end in the deal. His WR do suck, but you'd think he would aim higher with Bernard. Given how thin RB is compared to WR. And the Julio for Gonzalez trade is insanely stupid. Julio's put up at least 15 every week so far.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) Traded Alshon Jeffery for Giovani Bernard and Tony Gonzalez for Julio Jones This has been a good week. Had absolutely no backup RB and I have MJD as my RB2 (hasn't done s***). I've been looking for a true WR1 to go alongside DeSean Jackson and Jordy Nelson and now I have that. I have nothing (a nothing named Kellen Winslow) at TE this week, but I have Gronk on the bench ready to go in Week 6, hopefully. I voted against that first trade. How did you get the other guy to take Jeffrey for Bernard? One's a starting RB, the other's barely a WR3. Speaking of that league...how was Nate Washington not picked up on waivers?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 02:30 PM) Every year / at least once since your last copy 9 years ago? The controls were like that last year. The dribbling on the right stick (finally) is awesome. You can shoot with a button, too, though I prefer to hold the shot button and use the same stick to get total control of how I shoot. Just play it a bit more. I've played since 2K10, but on PC. Last year, shooting was LT + Right stick and I got used to that. Every other game before that shot with the right stick. I just don't like how they can't make up their mind with it.

I hate how 2K changes the controls for NBA 2K every year. They've combined the right stick this year to do dribble moves and shots. It felt so weird...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) /commercial break Madden is still awesome /back to your regularly scheduled programming Since they moved the lateral button to L1...I've been inadvertently fumbling 1-2 times a game when I try and use L2 as a modifier. I think this might be a PS3 problem for the most part. The 360 controller's design makes accidentally pressing the shoulder button harder. Other than that, good game.

Gotta love Dusty Baker hitting Brandon Phillips cleanup last night. LRLR has its importance, but breaking up two of your best hitters in Votto and Bruce just because they're left handed feels unnecessary when Phillips hasn't hit well at all in the second half.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 09:31 AM) Chromecast now supports Hulu Plus. Hopefully the support from developers start rolling out now.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) I can't believe the Reds won 90 games with their outfield. It is soooo slow Jay Bruce is pretty good, but Choo is not a CFer...

So I got one of those Android branded Kit Kats and won a $5 credit to the Google Play Store.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) If the Indians are lucky enough to win tonight, I don't believe they'll win more than 1 in the ALDS They're the classic "beat the s*** out of bad teams" team.

Picked up my copy of 2K14 for PS3. I haven't bought a basketball game for consoles since NBA 2K5.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 02:21 AM) Seriously? Which method did you choose? I didn't have any wanted level when I did the plan with the 4 muscle cars. I ended up making $34M each, and now after playing some stock market, each of my characters ended up with just under $200M before I started buying every property. I chose the one where I got to kill just about everyone who came at me. Not the smartest idea, but it was more fun. I think I got $31 million each.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 07:38 AM) With no more games against the Sox, will Cleveland keep Kipnis on their roster for the playoffs? You should see his numbers against the Twins this year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 10:35 AM) MJ talks http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9753017/...ron-james-prime J4L, your move. I wonder when J4L will change his screen name to KingJames4Life or LeBron4Life.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 01:05 AM) He only had four catches the whole game and that is why I lost by 2 points. 4 catches, 100 yards, and 2 TDs. Looks pretty good to me.

I just finished the last big heist in GTA V. It was so hard to get away from the cops with 6 stars that I just used the wanted level cheat. I told myself I wouldn't use cheats...but I got fed up and used one.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 10:09 PM) He's barely thrown to Jimmy Graham. Well, I lost...because they had to throw to Jimmy Graham in garbage time.

STOP THROWING TO JIMMY GRAHAM

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 05:58 PM) Whoever wins tonight, I hope they win the World Series. f*** the Indians. Monday TBS 8:07pm Rays at Rangers Price (9-8) vs. Perez (10-5) Tuesday TBS 8:00pm Reds at Pirates Cueto (0-0) vs. Liriano (0-0) Wednesday TBS 8:00pm TBD at Indians TBD vs. Salazar (0-0) I can't believe Danny Salazar is going to start their play-in game.

NBA 2K14 comes out tomorrow. I'm debating as to whether or not I should buy it for PC or PS3. The PC version got no updates last year, but I'll get better visuals. I can also get the PS4 version for $10 if I get it for PS3.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 01:35 AM) Started Law Firm over Fred Jackson. 1 pt vs 14 pts. Fail. Fred Jackson's been giving me 10+ points all season...and I haven't even started him once.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 29, 2013 -> 10:51 PM) Wow what a finish! Matt Ryan chokes again. I like how they never went to Julio Jones even once in the red zone when he was the one who got them there. Instead, they threw to a double covered Tony Gonzalez, Harry freakin' Douglas, and an injured Roddy White. Nice goin'. Belichick was also a huge dick for challenging that Julio Jones catch. You're up 17 with 6 minutes. Let it go. And then the replay system broke...haha. In the end, it almost bit them in the ass, which would have been hilarious.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2013 -> 10:26 PM) Probably true. I want to sock this people that have 4 fantasy teams too. I can understand 2 but more then that is absurd (and I'm sure we have some absurd people on here...afterall this is soxtalk...we are all sports fanatics). But I can't stand having more then 1-2 teams. If you do, you are no better then the people who have 6 NCAA brackets and tell you that they picked all the upsets or have so and so in this bracket but in the other bracket I still have em so its okay. Speaking of fantasy...went into Sunday night with a 30 point lead and Tony Gonzalez just gets a TD that I think is going to put him over me (I think in my league Tony is now going to be at 31). s***. I'm #1 in points (and no one is close) but I've given up 100 more points then the next closest team in my league and will now be 2-2. Uggh. Note: I moved to 1 fantasy team a year ago and its great. Will not ever switch back. Nobody cares about your fantasy team Jason (unless you talk about it in the fantasy thread). Just like how nobody cares about my 5 fantasy teams. You mad bro?

That ridiculous catch by Jones got me an additional 7 points and put me up 23. The other guy only has Jimmy Graham left.
