Running video games (and consoles) thread

I had to make it a private dynasty, but I think you can still join without an invite if you have the password.


I think the dynasty file name is HankScorpio510OD1. Password is Tigers.

If you can search, try searching for SJcom (no dot). Again, password is Tigers.


If neither of those work, I'll send an invite Friday afternoon.

 

NBA 2K is one of the most fun games I've ever played. I can do two games of NCAA before I need to take a break, I could play 8-10 of 2K before getting bored.

 

2K has one flaw when it comes to player contracts: You can set everyone at the league minimum and stock up on superstars -- or take a low-rated player and make them a superstar by jacking all their ratings up to 99. And you can edit the contract amount and length throughout a dynasty.

Same with 2K baseball. The lowest contract I offered once was $5K per year for Aroldis Chapman. You can't exploit the system like that in The Show, which is a good thing.

 

Just bought NCAA 14, gotta wait until tomorrow when I go back to LA to play it. I'm hoping they have the updated Husky Stadium.

 

Not having played these - superstars sign for league minumum? Chapman signed when you offered him $5K/year? Or you have to go out of your way to manually edit an existing contract/player stats to make it happen though like a Commish-type menu (said another way to make sure it's clear, there's the option of editing a players contract through some menu but they'd never actually accept that contract if you offered it as a coach/gm)?

 

You have to manually edit them. Should've specified.

 

I'm pretty sure you're going to be disappointed if what I read was correct.

 

OK, since the XBOX league started, I know that Jelly and I are in for the PS3 version.

I think sgreenwell is too, but I want to make sure.

Do you guys just want to pick a sub 80 team or would you like to do a conference like the MAC or Sun Belt where the teams aren't above 80?

 

I'm game, yeah! I actually just bought 13 too, since I saw it for $4 on GameFly, but a PS3 league for 14 should be fun.

 

I am. Played two games earlier and the track is still around the field, which means it's the old stadium.

 

What should I be buying in the Steam Summer Sale?

 

I bought Civ5, which is pretty sweet if you like that type of simulation / civilization management game at all. With Steam, the star ratings for games are pretty accurate, at least according to my buddies who use it a lot more than I do.
