Guest Unwritten Religion Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Just got the game and well..... I HATE IT. For now, that is. My problem with the game is that it loads TOO LONG! For ex. I Started a game with my Colts vs Raiders, and it took like 5 Min. to start. And when it started, the sound starts to repeat. And after Edgerin James got tackle, the fucking game froze. So I reset it and started the franchise with the Lions, and soon as I started Sportscenter, It took like 6 Fucking min. to load! So to any of you who have it, did this happen to you when you first played it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 I have to say..this game, is still as awesome as it was when I first put it in. Just got to the SuperBowl for the first time..as the Patriots. The introduction and all..the jets..that's awesome. And for those that want to know...it's last years super bowl all over again, turned out to be Patriots/Panthers. But just now...as in about 1 min ago..first play of the game....Delhomme gets tackled...and:o out for the game! On the first play of the Superbowl! That has to suck. But I might want to shut up before something happens to my guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Just a quick question...can someone give me a rundown of what exactly NFL combine is during the offseason? :/ I just see a lot of up and down arrows and stuff, and am just....yea.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Just a quick question...can someone give me a rundown of what exactly NFL combine is during the offseason? :/ I just see a lot of up and down arrows and stuff, and am just....yea. So can someone explain that part of the off season? The up and down arrows are the stock of the player, if it's down then other scouts and Kiper are down on them. If the arrow is up, it means the player is moving up but that may not mean too much. Basically, this involves you to think about what you want. If you want, there is a draft board that lists the top 25 players for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GreatMuta Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Man, I've just been playing this non stop for about a week, but have had some questionable trades...especially the way Miami screwed themselves. They traded WR Chris Chamber, for some Guard(forget his name), and then they traded AJ Feeley for FB Deon Dryer. I had the perfect year, won the Super Bowl with my Eagles against the Texans. Now in the off-season, Miami needs a good QB, but they just get another running back that they do not need, while the Chargers pick up the quaterback they should have gotten in the first place. Anyone have any surprises in your game? Mine had to be... The Texans winning their Division, and beating New England in the AFC Championship. Carolina going only 4-12, along with the Raiders. Ben Roethlisberger passing for 4000+ yards And David Carr winning the MVP award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that was the case with me. Look a page or a few back at Fliks training thing...that helped greatly. You can base off of that, and change however you want because like he said, that improves stats but can cause injuries, but that could be used just to give you an idea. It helped my guys (Y).. But in the end I just turned prep off, it was a hassle, although it does add to the realism of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I played it this morning and it works, except when I play a game the step-motherfucking sound keeps repeating and the screen freezes for like 20 seconds, but other then that, it's just fine. So started my franchise with the colts, and just whoop the Pats ass(34-7, With James getting 175 Rushing yards and 4 TD's). Bus I sim all games and we didn't make the Playoffs, Being 8-8(But Payton getting the MVP award with 44 Touchdowns). But here's what I hate..... It's time for resigning, and everyone of my fucking Free Agents want big fucking money! All of them wanted 15-20 Million. But overall, good game, and I guess I'll either have to get a new PS2 or a X-BOX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BX 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2004 I'm having the same problems, but for some reason, it makes executing plays impossible. I'll mash on X until I die, but the time clock will just wind down. It's fucking frustrating, because all other aspects seem to be working fine. I tried ESPN 2k4, and it worked fine. So I'm at a loss. The disc does have scratches, but except for a select few, I've taken care of them all TWICE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 This game is phenomenal, but I can only play it at my friend's house since I let him borrow my X-Box for the summer (no cable, no computer, nada). He's an adventure/RPG/fighting game guy, so he despises when I want to play PGR2 or 2K5, but that's tough. Too dull and not enough control over the game my ass. I haven't done anything but create a VIP profile and play quick match games, so I can't say anything about the customization and all that. The gameplay itself is fabulous, even if I'm having a hard time getting a consistent passing game going (I've always been a bigger fan of the run game). The music at Adelphia Coliseum is great, I discovered when I played as the Titans once. And the "Go Pack Go" is present at Lambeau, so I'm happy. I won't be able to say how good or bad it really is until I can sink my teeth into the entire game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 For the PS2 you pretty much need the Hard Drive to really enjoy this game. You actually think that? I bought the HDD the day after I got this game...mainly cuz I had been wanting one for a while anyways. And I find myself not even using it... I used it once or twice to play someone online in a game, where they exited because I was destroying them. And I played a game or two on NBA live..where I found out I can get slaughtered also lmao :|...but other then that, haven't really used it yet. What other things does it add? other then from what I understand you get vid clips for the half time/end of game rundown...and that's not really that big of a thing.
