Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:20:14 +0000 http://www.pastapadre.com/10038/how-good-are-favre-and-vick-in-madden-10#IDComment31339470 http://www.pastapadre.com/8885/e3-backbreaker-preview#IDComment23919378 Great post pasta! If you remember, I was asking you for more info about this game about a year ago :) I'm really excited to hear that the tackles are fun and gratifying. It sounds like they have a lot of work to do, but one of my favorite things is the passing system. The controls seem similar to skate and fight night where you use the right stick for a majority of the controls. That system always felt smooth to me so I can't wait to see how it works with a QB.

My only problem is, and maybe I'm in the minority, I don't like having injuries during online matches. It would be like having gun jams in an FPS match. I know injuries are a part of football, but when I play someone online I want to beat them with my team the way it is. There is the argument that if you are good, you should win anyway and I get that. However, I just don't like the idea of having them as much online. I like them in franchise/season mode though.

Both in madden and the NFL. Tarvaris Jackson is 0-6 in games where he threw 30 or more passes and Sage Rosenfels is an upgrade, but still has not proven that he can be a stand out QB in the league. Favre may not be the answer to the purple's first ring, but I believe he gives them a better shot than the other options... only time will tell.

Keep up the great work on the updates pasta.

Always like reading these. Being a Vikings fan I can totally see Eben Britton being taken in the first because Childress is predictable, but I honestly would love to see Percy Harvin taken there despite his issues. I doubt they would take a "leaper" WR in the second though because we already have Sidney Rice and he barely gets used. Pat White worked out here in Winter Park so I wouldn't doubt seeing him being taken in the second.

I say look for the vikings to pick best available for WR or CB. There is a RT they can take in the second round by the name of Phil Loadholdt.

As a consumer do I like it? No, but as a business model it works well. When you put it at $80 a controller it sounds bad, but when you say $20 to upgrade something you already own it seems reasonable. I am really interested in seeing how much of an improvement the M+ is.

I haven't played much of the Show so I didn't realize they did that. Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:31:05 +0000 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/04/13/mlb-09-the-show-roster-update-413#IDComment18728265 http://www.pastapadre.com/2009/04/13/mlb-09-the-show-roster-update-413#IDComment18727597 Yeah, I knew he was hurt, but didn't know they sent him down because of it. Thanks for the clarification.

Good marketing strategy too imo. The Super Bowl teams usually have the most exposure to the general public and having 2 players will please more fans who like one or the other.

I really like the mix of arcade and sim that it has. Can't wait to play the new one!

I came in a close second place (only 60 points back), but congrats to brob1 for first place!

UNC to win it all!

I've heard some say though that whoever gets the better player in a trade is the winner... but we will just have to wait and see. A solid QB is something that Bears fans (and vikes fans :P) have been only been able to dream about. If Cutler continues to improve as QB he will be worth it for that team.

Hester's speed and cutlers arm will be a great combo. This trade doesn't surprise me as I thought the Bears would have the most to offer in terms of QB and picks Thu, 2 Apr 2009 21:56:01 +0000 http://www.pastapadre.com/7512/jay-cutler-to-the-bears#IDComment18041748
