Playing a sport /= having a major league. If basketball, for example, suddenly became massively popular as the NBA is trying to make it, and began to eat the market share from soccer in Europe, I guaran-fucking-tee that FIFA would shake up the rules.

I'm not saying change the game to make it popular in the US. I'm saying change the game to make it better. Are there fans who are appreciative of flopping? No? Get it the fuck out of the game. Was that a goal? Can we check the replay? Make it so. FIFA doesn't care as long as the bribes keep flowing in. They're under no pressure to make changes, so they don't make any.

Chuck, the NBA has just as much flopping if not more so. It's a glorified free throw shooting contest now. On your list of improvements you had draft lottery slotted for the NBA, that's how awful that sport is. Every other change they've made has made it worse in my eyes.

I think FMT nailed it earlier, we don't care about the sport because we don't have any attachment to the teams, we also know nothing about the talent since we produce so few domestically, MLS isn't where the big boys play so we don't care. It also operates differently from a personnel standpoint, they don't have drafts and typical NA free agency. Rule changes won't be enough to get the US to jump on board.

My brother loves the sport, so I watch it with him occasionally, it can be pretty entertaining. I watched that Cessi goal live and it was amazing. It's a bit like hockey actually, not as fast or physical but the on fly creativity is certainly there.

The last soccer I was really having a good time watching was the recent Women's World Cup.

The problem with soccer is that it is basically hockey, in that most of the game is passing around the field, just without the physicality and speed that makes it interesting in hockey.

The guy means well I think but he gets emotionally invested in the games he hypes up for. I remember the Dark Souls thread ended up with him having a bit of a meltdown after he had some issues with an area and had been playing for like 2 days straight.

Him and a lot of other people will get banned when the servers melt on the first day anyway.

Edit: I might check Diablo out. I never played the other two but the videos intrigue me. I think my laptop can run it.

I was thinking about it, I don't think I've "marathoned" a game since I was a teenager...basically when I actually had the time to do it.

Marathoning a game now for me is like 5hrs straight and by then I'm exhausted.

Lots of E3 threads popping up on gaming, hopefully it delivers. Love seeing fans reaction to the conferences. It's better than the conference itself! Never could watch an entire conference since I find it sooo boring. But I love the gifs people make with it :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what Nintendo shows. I think out of all three of the press conferences, Nintendo's is the most intriguing to me.

I imagine they will be some price cuts this year to compete against Wii U but what do I know, I'm just an enthusiast :p

250 is still doable, I'd just rather pay less and use the 50 bucks on something else like JD or something more than likely wasteful

I thought the PS3 was already 199 or was that a temporary thing?

Basically I can't imagine it not hitting 199 this year.

I'll probably pick up the next Xbox within the first 6 months of it's existence. Depends on when it comes out.

I finally got a PS3 and the thing is getting almost zero action. The kids watch BD's on it upstairs. The Wii came, collected dust, and left. There is nothing Nintendo can do to entice me to pick up another piece of their hardware.

That's how I feel about the next xbox. Every good game on the 360 is multiplatform and inevitably better on the PC. The only reason I will be buying one is for the Madden league. I'll get the other two consoles for their superior exclusive but will continue to do the bulk of my gaming on the PC. Like a man.

You know, I've been lurking the Wii U thread since the first OT, and I gotta say, Nintendo better fucking deliver. Those guys have HUGE expectations for the Wii U and if Nintendo doesn't deliver..

Oh boy..

Let's just say the meltdowns will be a sight to behold.

Can anyone confirm this, I was looking around some comments about Sunday Ticket. Do they really do a 350 over 4 months thing? If so that'd be hella sweet.

I paid mine over like 9 months or something, it was the only thing they offered at the time. Just tacked it onto the dtv bill. It starts every July and stops in like March or something.

whatever you're charged is divided into 4 payments which will show up on your september, october, november and december billing. although sunday ticket this year (for the base package) is only $199
