July 12, 200421 yr Collins Consulting an IT staffing firm. I've worked here the past 2 summers. I also umpire. awesome
July 12, 200421 yr Damn guys, you would think playoff tickets or openning day was going on. Almost up to that level... SS you need to play this game
July 12, 200421 yr You need to go take a nap No - I plan on going out to this place five minutes from my house, buy the game, go later and get the pre-ordered copy, and then sell it to a friend. Sweet deal, huh?
July 12, 200421 yr No - I plan on going out to this place five minutes from my house, buy the game, go later and get the pre-ordered copy, and then sell it to a friend. Sweet deal, huh? ritalin helps too.....
July 12, 200421 yr Almost up to that level... SS you need to play this game I have 2004. Don't get me wrong, I like it and all, and am probably going to get this game, but you guys are cracking me up
July 12, 200421 yr I have 2004. Don't get me wrong, I like it and all, and am probably going to get this game, but you guys are cracking me up Why wait? Every day without the game is a day wasted, to a degree 1:40 left til i can get it.
July 12, 200421 yr I have 2004. Don't get me wrong, I like it and all, and am probably going to get this game, but you guys are cracking me up Probably? NCAA 2005 is going to BLOW away 2004.... You def need to get 2005 There are SO many upgrades... The Conf schedules actually roatate this year, deeper dynasty, All Conference players this year (I love this one), Transfers, Disciplinary actions.. The game is more life like this year AWESOME!!
July 12, 200421 yr I think the whole recruiting this is just awesome - as long as you don't use a top power. Otherwise, you can get every damn recruit you want...and that's not that fun. Like at one point last year i started a dynasty with Duke, and tried to lure recruits to my school by winning a few games and trying to get on the map. It's fun actually trying to 'build' a program - not just reload
July 12, 200421 yr What i used to do was go take on big teams on the road and not be to risky and pull out wins. With home field advantage though its going to be tough to do that now.
July 12, 200421 yr Last year I did a dynasty w/ texas tech, that was fun.....always having a tough schedule. After 2 year i got them to #1.
July 12, 200421 yr Soxnbears (what's your real name) using Illinois this year will be fun, you'll have to build a program, like i talked about above.
July 12, 200421 yr Soxnbears (what's your real name) using Illinois this year will be fun, you'll have to build a program, like i talked about above. real name? I go by soxnbears everywhere It's steve. And yeah, your right about Illinois, definitelyb e a tough road the first year Have to get memorial stadium rockin'

Also just a few months until NCAA March Madness 2005 comes out too...
July 12, 200421 yr WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I WENT TO GAMECRAZY AND GOT IT! YESS! Now - to the basement, where I shall not be seen again for fifteen hours!
July 12, 200421 yr Soxnbears it is then... Memorial Stadium is a great stadium. No it's not the best place for a homefield advantage, but it's a nice stadium with great, great sightlines. I once heard a stat (and somehow if cwsox ends up reading this thread he could verify it, maybe, because i just heard it a few times) that Memorial Stadium has the most seats from endzone to endzone, which is really cool. Memorial stadium rocked during the Ohio St game in 2002 (hold on a minute while i reflect, sigh). Last year it was lame because every game pretty much got out of hand, though the Wisconsin game was intense early on (until the roughing the passer call) and because it was a night game.

Also just a few months until NCAA March Madness 2005 comes out too... MM is always fun, they need to polish it a bit though. Last year's version had a good core, but was a little choppy with it's presentation/graphics/controls/atmosphere.
July 12, 200421 yr MM is always fun, they need to polish it a bit though. Last year's version had a good core, but was a little choppy with it's presentation/graphics/controls/atmosphere. I agree. The game play was pretty good IMO, but the functionality of it sucked. It was slow in between screens, and info was slow to access.

The little blip about it on EA's website has it sounding like it'll be massively improving. The graphics look like they'll be better; you can at least tell that's Bracey for once.

July 12, 200421 yr Shouldn't Bracey be chucking a NBA style 3 in that screen? Or possibly getting BLOCKED BY NICK SMITH TO END THE GAME??? Never played MM cuz i heard it sucked. Plus i've never been much into basketball video games. But if i hear it's good from you guys i'll probly give it a whirl (or at least play ste...er, soxnbears game lol)
July 12, 200421 yr MM is always fun, they need to polish it a bit though. Last year's version had a good core, but was a little choppy with it's presentation/graphics/controls/atmosphere. Last year's gameplay was so much better then it has ever been. The gameplay was exactly like NBA live. But I agree they still have to polish it off a little bit. I have college football 2004 and will probably get 2005 but you guys are a little nuts but that's kind of how I was for MVP.

July 12, 200421 yr Well guys, I just finished my first game. Lost 10-0 to Michigan. Man - it's f***ing loud as hell. The controller shakes like crazy too. This one time I tried to call an audible, and I guess my players didn't know what to do, so when the ball was snapped, my QB just tucked the ball and started to run. It's awesome. The cornerback play is much improved (I had two user picks!). It's an awesome game - I can't start my dynasty till I download the rosters later in the week though, so that sucks. But if you have any questions, let me know. (Oh, and there's a create-a-sign feature. I'm gonna create multiple signs! )
