Running video games (and consoles) thread

I have four five-star WR's interested this season, I am chasing two the other two are gonna pick someone else.

 

I do wish they would "fix" the recruiting to have more of a mix of positions. Every year I still have waayyyyy too many athletic skill position guys - HB, WR, QB and CB - interested in my skill. It seems like the game makes way more players in those categories as opposed to other ones.

 

I normally just play on settler, to keep things simple. I'll probably start to branch out to other difficulties though, because I'm a sucker for achievements / trophies, whether on Steam or the PSN Network. If you wanna add me on Steam, my ID is the same as here, although Civ5 is the only game I have on there so far.

 

There's two sgreenwells on steam (different caps) are you the sgreenwell with the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend as your profile pic?

 

I'll add, Re: keeping civ simple, I think it stays fairly simple up through prince. Your millage obviously may vary, but my guess is you can feel fairly comfortable bumping it up.

 

I vary the level on Civ5 based on my mood. If I'm wanting to just mess around, I'll play a quick game on settler. If I want to kick my tail kicked, I crank it all the way up and set resources to scarce.

 

Ah, I didn't realize it let people have the same name! Yeah, I'm that one, haha.

 

Has anyone seen the CPU miss a FG on NCAA 14?

 

Yeah, I've had a couple of long ones from the CPU come up short.

 

I dropped the CPU FGA to 40 and have only seen it miss one, which was from 45+.

 

I've seen it miss a couple. More curious to me - I'm playing with the default sliders and I've had exactly one penalty call in about 30 games so far. However, when I super sim, my defense does seem to pick up holds, offsides and pass interference calls at a relatively normal rate, so I'm guessing it's something not syncing up with the sim engine vs. the play engine. (I just made both of those terms up.)

 

I've noticed that, too.

I suck at defense in this game, and that's sad because that was always my strongest point in older versions, so I'll sim every play on defense and take over after getting the ball back. I've seen a lot more penalties called when I sim than when I actually do play defense for an extended period of time. Not sure what's up with that.
