Just got the game from blockbuster about to try it out. 43 days renting the game for a 1.50 or whatever the stocking fee is, awesome (I get a free rental coupon every month since I have blockbuster total access).

Steeler Nation, unite!

You gotta see my 1970s throwback Steelers jerseys my team rocks. Tight, son.
 
I'm anxious to see how much I'll suck too after having three years off from VC's football games. I played religiously from 2K-2K5, so I am hoping the game will be like riding a bike....

I used to play 2k5 a lot and well my experience so far (1 game) is like riding a bike down a hill and thinking this isn't so bad only to find out you forgot how to brake and proceed to slam into someones garage door.

Holy crap am I terrible.

Nah, it's mostly just getting used to the QB animations. If it wasn't for that you'd have done a lot better--you did make several big completions in the game. Also, you didn't run the ball enough! :D

Russ Grimm+Earl Campbell=ridiculous, though. :lol

Someone MUST draft Grimm and not let Vumpler complete this unholy union!

Yea I did kinda give up on running. Oh well I'll go practice some more. You need a microphone by the way, was trying to ask you questions and was like oh... no mic.

Is Conex around?
 

vumpler

Whaaaaa!? Why must you say these things! :lol

By the way: w00t finally got 20 online wins... Took me about 18 games to figure out what I believe to be the perfect setup. But now I'm pretty content with it.

damn the draft is going to get real tough in the later rounds... the toughest question of the draft is do you take a kicker.... i'm leaning towards yes cause the regular kickers can't seem to kick it anywhere NEAR the endzone on kickoffs. that field position is valuable!

remember guys if there is a position that is just devoid of any talent you want, then i encourage you to pick a player from the created players list. now realize some of the legends in the game have 4 or 5 abilities, and created players are maxed at 3. but if you really want someone else!

I guess I should give out my GT for those who don't have it: Wsv771

I'm down for a tournament or game tomorrow if anyone's available.

IMO, that list is bullshit. Jeff George in the same league as Bo Jackson? Gimme a break! If Jeff is silver, Gannon is gold. And I would have liked to have known about this beforehand... kinda unfair... oh well...

I think that list is flawed in a few places. For instance, Bo Jackson a silver? no way. TONY FREAKING DORSETT IS SILVER? No way.

I don't think its unfair, at the end of the day we will all have 2 golds, 3 silvers, and 6 bronze.

Jeff George on a Legends list?! :lol

Why not? If Bubby Brister is there, George belongs. He had probably what was the greatest throwing arm in NFL history, and more than a few really good seasons. He just didnt have any heart or leadership ability or any other redeeming quality as a human being.
 
Shiite man . . . all the HBs are gone.

:( I feel ya. You know, I was watching some game videos today and I thought to myself for like a half second that I should think about getting a 360 and then it dawned on me that I "owned" one. Must be hell. I hope BBB gets back to you and gets you some compensation. That is ****ing ridiculous. When something like that happens, they should automatically send one of the refurbs that is sitting at the repair center as soon as you send it back.

PS: ask for some games and a controller. Didn't work for me, but everyone else seems to get free stuff. :|

Oh if I get some bs that they cant send me one for another 4-6 weeks even though I went through this extra crap,you can bet your ass im demanding free stuff or ill just keep contacting the BBB till I annoy the hell out of them and MS.
