He flubbed names left and right and was audibly confused at points during the games.

Henchman of Santa posted:I think I'm Mike Patrick's lone fan in TFF I'm also a Mike Patrick fan. Probably because he was the PBP voice for that NCAA baseball game EA put out after losing MLB. And a local morning show was talking about female commentators in sports yesterday. It was as disgusting as you might think. It blows my mind that people care this much about a woman calling a game.

In a weird way, it's nice to see gameplay from someone who knows what they're doing rather than myself having to run around trying to find something or using a guide. But then again, most the games I own are sports games.

I consistently watched the NFL last year and have barely maintained interest this year. Reasons are: 1. Commercialization of the NFL being rammed down our throats. Whether literal commercials or in-game product placement and sponsorships. Which leads to... 2. The NFL being so blatant and rear end in a top hat-ish about their price gouging and money grabbing. 3. Gary Kubiak's offense 4. Really inconsistent play from teams this year. I feel like the level of play in the league has dropped overall. But I can't really back this up other than to point to a lot of dumb, sloppy games where offenses just looked like poo poo and couldn't execute against inferior defenses.

Is it completely unfeasible to do in-game advertising as part of the broadcast graphics ala soccer? I mean, the NFL already bullies their way around everything else.

Rick posted:They love the Chargers so much in Yuma, Arizona. Maybe if Yuma grows to its projections (note: these are extremely hilarious projections that will never come true) they can fill a 27,000 seat stadium there in a decade. What are the projections? 150k? 200k? Either way I'm laughing at the thought of the Yuma Chargers.

Xerol posted:Yeah this got me to look at what I had and shake some things up. Cancelled sling (which I mostly had for redzone and willow) and hulu (which I just wasn't watching at all), picked up standalone willow, espn+, and nfl+, and saving about $680 a year, and I get more sports than I had before (which was pretty much all I was paying for anyway). Even if the prices of all of those double in a year I'm still spending less. Doesn't this setup prohibit you from getting the main ESPN networks?
