Football of course
First off, there was a comment that on the PS3 version of NCAA you can’t SuperSim while in the game. That is not true. I’ve done it and speak from experience here.
Second, the slider discussion is interesting, and thanks for all the comments. I agree with many of the posters. EA seems to include the sliders as a cop out as in “oh well we can’t program this, so why don’t you” whereas Sony with MLB and 2K with All Pro seem to include them as a way to tweak things. If someone has to turn down a slider to zero or up to 99, I think that says it’s broken, don’t you?
Third, the amount of content being put up on Xbox Live arcade this week is insane and difficult to keep up with. I’ve decided to include gaming related demos and add-on packs in my weekly column and boy what a week I picked for that!
Fourth, The PS Store is annoying. It seems like stuff gets released on it around 5PM eastern. Don’t they realize I have a deadline?
Fifth, Erik Bedard is awesome, even if we’re playing Tampa, we’re still winning.

Yes. Developers need to realize — when you put a slider at ZERO it should mean…ZERO. If I put an INT slider at zero, I should rarely see any picks at all. They should be ULTRA rare if I do that.
If I set it at 100, I should see like 10 per game, per team.
It’s all nebulous crap.
What I would not give for a tune file for NCAA ‘08. Let me really tweak the game the way it needs to be tweaked because you just cannot do it with the way the sliders are designed on these console games.

i’m thinking that EA knows that a great majority of their market are the guys that want 49-48 games, mostly teenagers or college kids and thus their sliders and game play reflect that. the people that are on OS or here are in the vast minority IMO

the lack of sim to end is what i meant in the sim comment. I didnt mean there is no super sim, but when I am up 40, i want a “sim to end of game” button that will allow me to not spend the next 35 minutes of my life trouncing a team.
