HAY GUYS

I play the NCAA Football games from EA pretty much every year. They're really fun to play against my friends, since we're all pretty close to each other in skill {though admittedly, I am slightly less good than the two of my friends with whom I play it}.

I also just picked up MLB 2k6. I'm sort of glad that they got the license instead of EA, since I really couldn't stand the MVP games. But the 2k games are not without their flaws. I still think that the best simulation style baseball game is All-Star Baseball 2001 {N64}. And hell, in terms of fun factor, ASB 2000 is right up there is the classics RBI Baseball {NES}, Ken Griffey Jr Baseball {SNES}, and Baseball Simulator 1.000 {SNES}.

I used to play a little hockey, like NHL 95 on Genesis, excellent game. I also played the Acclaim hockey game on N64 back in the day and it was pretty awesome. I played a little NBA Live back on the Genesis, but it gets old pretty quick to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm actually enjoying it myself. The main issue I have with it is the defense. Players do not move very fluidly in the field, and often the game selects the wrong fielder for you to control initially, causing you to run in the wrong direction to begin with. I like the new hitting style with the step and then swing, and I like the pitching with picking location and effort. With the previous game you would just say "I want the pitch to go here" and then press the button and it would go there every time.

Though I did get frustrated the other day when I was playing and like 8 out of 10 batters on my team hit pop ups to the infield. It didn't help that I was already losing by a few runs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nebraska running the option on that game was unstoppable.

If you are a college football fan, EA's NCAA games have been getting progressively better. I felt like there was a drop-off after 2001 on PSX but I'd say that 2006 easily rivaled 2001 in terms of pure fun. I am expecting no less from NCAA 07, which releases in July I think.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There hasn't been a great defender in the NBA in fifteen years, so a lot of people don't actually know that great defenders don't gamble for steals every time down the floor.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
