The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Thoughts

• MLB2k11 - I still like the game, but after playing 10+ seasons of 2K10 I'm starting to get tired of it already this year and I'm still in my first year.  Of course I am just doing the My Player mode so maybe I should switch to Franchise mode.  My issue with Franchise mode is that I will want to play all games and not sim them, but I can't do that for multiple baseball seasons.
• Tiger Woods 12 - The demo has been out for a week and I still have not grabbed it.  I probably should.  I really want to like a golf game again, but I don't think the motion controllers on any system are the way to go.  Sure it might be cool for some, but as someone who takes his golf pretty seriousely it's just not accurate enough.  So the question becomes "Can I be satisfied with an arcade stick controlled golf game?"  I probably could if done right.  By right I mean, take the arcade aspect out of the game.  No adding spin after you hit the ball.   No putting lines that you can move directly to the hole.  That sort of thing.
• NFL - By now we all know the NFL is on hold.  I really don't know which side I'm on and honestly don't care.  As a fan it bothers me because I think those guys entering the draft are in limbo and frankly I don't want to miss football.  I have seen several polls online asking what you will do on Sunday's without football.  Not a single one (that I've seen) has my idea as an option.  If there are no NFL games, I think the NCAA should move some of their games to Sunday.  Maybe make it the 2-4 biggest games of the week?  What do you guys think?
