Wasn't that already proven by just buying EA games to begin with? lol. At least it's better than talking about why things happen in Madden.

Also, I'm disappointed that there's no demo for either baseball game this year. I saw people on The Show forums defending that with "Not that much has changed since last year, so they don't really need a demo." I didn't even touch that one, lol. Wouldn't that be an argument for not needing to "upgrade" from the previous year's game though? haha

Yeah I'm skipping this years baseball games. Instead picked up a cheap PS2 and MLB Power Pros 2008. Love that game.

Last year, I picked up both MLB games at launch. I didn't spend enough time with The Show to begin with, and with 2K13 supposedly being nearly a carbon copy of 2K12, I will play last year's game til the new ones drop in price.

So I haven't looked yet, are we banned?

Also Also: Finally got a chance to read that whole thread on the EA forums. Is amazing how little people think out their posts.

I actually got on to check yesterday, and of course we're not. I then sent a message to all 3 douches from their team saying something to the effect of "It's Monday, and look at that. I can sign into the EA servers. I'm not banned. Who would have thought that you were actually just ing retards? It's amazing!" Today, I got a response from that JTapia dude (the one who sent me all the voice messages) saying "I don't even know who you are", lol. I think that's almost more pathetic. They must do that to so many teams, they can't even keep them straight.

As for the EA forums, yeah...it's amusing. It's funny how you can see that some people just get it, and they provide good responses with solid points of their own. And then some people respond and are like "Derrrrr...take good shots...derp derp". I didn't even want it to turn into a "NHL 12 > NHL 13" kind of thing, but just a discussion on how the series can improve going forward...and what worked and what didn't work.

I made another topic today about having longer periods online. Most people have responded well to it, but the ones who are against it have some of the dumbest reasons I've ever seen like "But then it will take forever to get your Legend 3 card." (wow..it's too bad there's NO solution for that...like scaling the game increments accordingly, lol) or "The games would take forever" (yes...30 minutes...forever, lol). I just want EA to see some of this stuff since they claim they "listen to the community".

Also: I can't believe that thread has over 1,000 views. Apparently, lots of people care about why we stopped playing!

I just want you jerks to know that I bought Borderlands 2.

Welcome to the cliub!

I used All-Star difficulty because I've already seen what Superstar does, haha. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...her-modes.html I only tried them out for one game, but these were the results. I actually played the 11 minute periods as suggested...which makes for about a 45 minute game (which is really about the same as a game of Madden...but of course you could do less), but it actually felt like a real hockey game. There were pretty obvious swings in momentum. Anaheim dominated me in the 1st period, outshooting me 12-8, and scoring on a power play. I came roaring back in the 2nd, outshooting them 13-4 and tying the game up on a penalty shot. I took the lead a few minutes later and just kept control the rest of the game. There might be a couple things I would tweak. Faceoffs seemed too hard, and the CPU just kept wanting to tie up every time. Passing was also pretty tough, but I left the "hardcore" setting on. Switching to "normal" might make for a less sloppy game. Otherwise, this made for a really good, challenging game of hockey. I definitely felt like if I didn't play solid defense, they would have scored all over me. It's bewildering playing a game like this and then knowing that NHL 13 is out there being a complete piece of crap. Try the sliders out if you want to see what could have been, haha.

I tried your rosters again and each time I format my flash drive, plug it into my PC, follow your instructions and when I plug it back into the Xbox, it asks me to format it again.

Damn...I don't know what could be causing that. We need somebody else to try and see if they get the same thing.

Wow...look at this thread on the EA forums.

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9341507.page

Finished off and closed by a "community manager" who has told people that he is a developer on the game. He defends the ridiculous rebound fest in NHL 13 by saying "garbage goals happen in the real NHL". Yup...because I know when I watch the Predators play, all they do is skate into the zone as quickly as possible, and throw a wrist shot at the goalie, so he can kick it to the player crashing the net from the other side. He then basically derides those who don't like it by saying "some people don't want a realistic hockey game." Stay classy (and ignorant), EA.

Maybe it's because he said "brake away".

Hockey tonight? It's weird having read through a lot of the old threads this past week and now finally having time to play again. It's like when Truman figured out his life was a TV show, lol.

I will be on.

Those pesky one hoppers! We know he didn't play baseball ever

Was hoping for some hockey tonight but it looked like a no go. Maybe next Friday night for me.

I know some of you guys are into WWE 13...

Thanks, Alan. You guys who have the game should get online and we can play some matches. Gail Pennyfeather has taken his talents to WWE while the CAGFC is on hiatus.

I hopped on around 11, saw only Brandon was on and started playing NCAA instead. Saw you pop on but I think you were off by the time I finished my game.

Have I been kicked off the team yet? Or have you guys contacted EA directly to request my banning?
