Unfortunately, the World Championship is ruined by a broken fatigue/stamina system. Perhaps they'll address this.

There's a good Balboa one out there, that's a given, but one guy did Charles Bronson....LOL.

It had its issues with ball physics and player momentum, but overall it was enjoyable. Gameplay will always be at the core, but the solid addition of OTP really gives the game depth. It's something that people want. Look how quickly 2K put it in their games. They suck at it but they know it's something people like.

Nice. That's a pretty solid demo.

It's built around a specific technology. I think that hurts the game more than not having an NFL license. I get the sense that the overall theme is, "We can put together great tackles." But, can you put together a football game with line shifts, defensive assignments, audibles etc.? The technology looks promising. I just see it being too much of the focal point, rather than the specifics of football. If you think about it, a better way to showcase such technology would be an MMA or boxing game.

I'm pretty pleased with what's coming in Online Franchise. I agree too on the commissioner of the league needing to be on top of things. Already people are creating leagues and asking who wants in etc. It just never works when you approach it like that. There's no reliability in it.

That would give that game some strong legs. I'm 37...still get geeked this time of year.

Let's remember, before the Xbox 360, console gamers had to often purchase a demo or have a subscription to a magazine that encased a demo. Now, with almost every week producing a new demo to freely download, we have become somewhat over indulged. 5 dollars gets you a pre-order. If you don't want to do that, simply wait until it's mass availability. I'll be looking forward to pasta's impressions an hd videos from the demo before May 28th.

We have a park here in NC that has a course for it. Not bad at all.

I'm thinking this is the new angle they are talking about, no?

I'll be on my way to reserve, and I'm sure many others will too.

It's right up my ally. I think the next step would be to create a more universal system to create the videos from the game. All EA Sports games seems to use different systems. The next step would be to somehow increase the speed of uploading. When we use these videos for our franchises and leagues, what I have found is most guys consider it a hassle to learn and understand the feature. That's why I think it's important to make it one system for all games. I think EA gets that though. They use the same menu system for their sports games, so it's probably a matter of time before we see the same highlight system for each specific game.

Played 3 games last night that were all lag free and very close. Fri, 6 Mar 2009 09:25:52 +0000 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/03/05/mlb-2k9-online-impressions#IDComment16282001
