Running video games (and consoles) thread

Got the Toys R Us deal. They sell M-rated games so GTA V would probably be safe. Or, OR, I use the card toward THIS:



FUCK YEAH PINKIE PIE

 

That's how I snagged WWE 13 (before the re-brand and subsequent price raise), NBA 2K13 -- which I traded to get NCAA 14 -- and MLB The Show. WWE 13 was $25, NBA 2K13 was $20 and The Show was $35. Not bad.

 

From folks who are playing NCAA 14. Is it worth it? I would love to get it for the online dynasty on here, but don't want to play a flawed game.

 

Just picked my copy up. Can't wait to play later.

 

Picked it up this afternoon. Only played a couple of quick games. The last one I had was NCAA 12, but this one does seem like an improvement. I'm really starting to like the new read option feature.

I threw a few too many interceptions, but I didn't tinker with the sliders either, so that may have had something to do with that too.

I posted pasta padre's early review about a page back on this thread for those that want to read it.

 

Didn't hear any objections, so yea, might as well set it at that.

If we start test driving teams, maybe we can consider a bump to 87 or 88 teams. But I think 85 is pretty fair.

 

Except for Jake, who gets Georgia State.

 

I was at Walmart earlier and almost bought it, but passed since I figured I might as well go to Gamestop - If I'm going to buy full price, might as well get some loyalty points or whatever for the purchase. Walmart bizarrely had Madden 12 for the PS2 marked at $19.99, but .hack//Outbreak, a semi-obscure game, was $30. It goes for about $40 to $60 new on eBay. It somewhat amazes me that non-Gamestop chains still price some games so poorly. I also scooped up a Monster Hunter game for $20 there once, and then sold it on eBay for $80.

 

I want to try out a few more teams, but I would actually like to tentatively reserve NC State.

 

Hell, I was going to give him Eastern Michigan. And he'd probably still kick our ass.

 

I liked N.C. State quite a bit in 11, or whatever the last league we had was, but that was mainly because of Russell Wilson. When he was hurt, they sucked in stereophonic sound. You'll probably have better luck with them.

 

I probably should start a new thread, just so it doesn't get buried among other video game news.

Here's a list of each player and their possible teams: First come, first serve on teams. Pretty sure we played on All-American last time and I think I used a fairly popular slider adjustment to help even things up.
