Running video games (and consoles) thread

It's Madden for XBOX?

....Oh well.

 

Yep. You can form a party for coplay. (I think you can search by character name. Mine is Billy Cake Eater).

 

Just finished up with Borderlands 1 over the weekend - fun game! I'll probably buy the Greatest Hits version at some point, which includes all four of the DLCs, I believe. Next in my GameFly queue, in order: Persona 4 Golden, Borderlands 2, The Walking Dead, WWE 13 and X-Com.

 

I dunno about a Madden league guys. I just tried to play someone online last night and remembered why I quit playing '13 - the connection between the two parties is horrible.

 

I don't have Madden so I'm obviously out of any Madden league.

I'm probably not going to go out and buy NCAA 13 now. Haven't had the time to really play any video games of late. So I'll probably just wait until summer for '14.

Definitely down to get the 360 dynasty going again with '14 though.

 

I'm hoping '14 will successfully integrate the playoff into the mix. Otherwise, I'm not buying. I know it doesn't start this year, but EA needs to be proactive and give us that option.

I remember some of the old college football games -- think like '02 or '03 -- would give you an option to end the season with a playoff or the bowl system. No reason why they can't do that again, especially since the current incarnation of the bowl system has only one year left in it.

 

I'd like to see them do that AND give us the opportunity to blow up conferences. I tried to do that this year with the WAC (make realistic moves and such), but no dice - had to leave a team in there, plus I couldn't add the FCS teams without taking out others. So I said eff the lemons and bailed.

 

Yeah, I don't understand why they can't figure out a way to just let you add created teams to conferences? Maybe it's because there's some kind of schedule algorithm that would get screwed up if you had more than 120 teams or whatever it is in FBS. That's something that needs to be fixed.

I didn't buy '13 because I hoped '14 would include the playoff. So we'll see. I tend to go in two-year cycles with football games, anyway. Bought Madden in '11 and '13; bought NCAA '10 and '12.

 

Cosmo (and other PS3 players):

You are finally getting Skyrim DLC.

Dragonborn: Feb. 12
Hearthfire: Feb. 19
Dawnguard: Feb. 26.

Cost: Dragonborn and Dawnguard for $20, Hearthfire for $5.
And I believe the DLC is half off during the first week each is available, but not entirely sure on that.


The order is the exact opposite of how it was released for Xbox.

 

I curse the birth of my firstborn because it took me away from Skyrim. I don't know if I will ever go back.

 

I have had no connection problems, mad.

 

I tried playing a game online a few days ago, and the other person's connection was awful.
