It just goes to show how second rate 2K's game is when with all of the problems they have to fix, they're worried about this? Unbelievable.

Once Tiger gets over his Waffle House waitress addiction and realizes that his wife is about as hot as they come, I think he'll get back on track.

I think this would sell great on XBL Arcade or Playstaion Network. About the 3v3 though, I think it will work. It might take a little getting used too but if they have all the other core elements that made Jam great, they shouldn't have any problem with it.

No way Conan's gonna take that from NBC. I agree that Fox would be the best place for him to go, but they'd have to work out how that's gonna effect they're local news broadcasts which are are at 10 ET in most places.

They've really started to get serious about cutting back games, and just the mention of a game called "PGA Tour Golf" sounds so bland and generic. When you think about it, such a move might even help them because they can save money this year and take that time to make serious improvements on it for when Tiger comes back.

They could go with a different guy every year, but superstars are few and far between in golf. And I hate to say it, but going from Tiger Woods on the cover to even Phil Mickelson would make it seem kind of second rate. This is the kind of thing where nobody's a winner, and I think they're gonna have to hope that Tiger somehow comes back from all this.

If the award truly goes to the most outstanding player, it should go to Ndamukong Suh.

Once he's back on the course and this starts to go away, there's no way EA's gonna make any changes.

They've been trying for 4 years now and it's only gotten worse.

Although it serves as a good preview for the kind of technology we'll probably in Madden in a couple of years so it's worth picking up.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:35:38 +0000 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/11/20/new-moon-breaks-midnight-sales-record#IDComment44101701 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/11/18/nominees-for-vga-awards#IDComment43819595 That's kind of what I was thinking when I saw The Show got left out. If it was made by EA or 2K, (forgetting that 2K doesn't know how to make baseball games) there's no question that it would not only be there but probably win outright.

I think the red gives it a fresh look. While it might still play like 2K9, 2K8, 2K7, and 2K6, it'll at least look cool. Btw, did anyone else notice the top pics are from ESPN the Magazine's cover earlier this year? Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:12:09 +0000 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/11/15/evan-longoria-gets-mlb-2k10-cover#IDComment43399826 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/11/14/what-the-cuts-could-mean-for-ea-sports#IDComment43253777 It's weird because this year's Live was actually decent. I know 2K has pretty much established itself already as the top game, but I didn't expect Live to do that bad. One thing's for sure though, it's going to be really interesting to watch how they approach making this next game when they know the franchise is on the line.

Wait until next year and you'll get the better pres. and (hopefully) better gameplay.

You can bet whoever loses is gonna want a recount if it stays this close.
