Madden IQ seems to be one of those EA/Tiburon examples of a good idea that is executed iffily. Testing how good a Madden player is, and then setting difficulty levels based on that? Great idea! I’m excited. But the first “test” is running ability, where you run behind blockers and have […]
I popped in a copy of NCAA 2004 in my PS3 last night (hooray backwards compatibility), as it is considered to be the best game in the NCAA series. There are some general issues with the game (the field seems too small, player control is too momentum-based and “skatey”, AI doesn’t account for QB […]
Temple 52, Army 36 (Heisman)
I started an offline dynasty using both Temple and Florida, default sliders, Heisman level. I think this is probably the first time I’ve ever scored 52 points with Temple, on Heisman no less. There were a lot of big plays…I had two runs over 60 yards, and two interceptions […]
Our review of Top Spin 3 is up.
Other notes:
I’m currently working on an updated historical Japanese baseball database for usage in OOTP 9. It should be released next week. Because I’ve spent so much time in the world of spreadsheets, I haven’t gotten too deep into OOTP 9. Although I […]

Conference commissioners
The regular season must be meaningful.
Conference championships (either with or without a […]
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”.
Some would argue that the resurgence of Nintendo, the ‘fall’ of Sony, and the stable performance of Microsoft represents a ‘golden age’ in console wars where we have 3 viable choices in market. I wouldn’t. While I appreciate choice, and many of […]
Vote and comment on your games of the year in the DSP forums (see the stickies). Voting ends Friday night.
Lavan Chandran (aka Macca00 on the forums) again contributes another excellent review. The review is long, but totally worth it for people that are interested in importing the game now, or purchasing the North American version (whenever that will be released). Read the review and let us know what you think.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
Now that I’m back from an epic month with four long trips in four weeks, I can post again…
- I’m still waiting for a patch to be released for Worldwide Soccer Manager 08, hoping that they’ve fixed some of the major problems with MLS. The beta patch didn’t solve some of the major problems, […]
