NFT: Video Game Thread (Madden League?)

QB Snacks : 7/5/2018 10:28 am
I've hit a lull in my gaming. Kinda returned to Madden 18 to scratch my football itch. Some great titles coming out in September.

Anybody here in a Madden League on ps4? I'd love to join.
I haven't played Madden in years but I'm kind of interested in

Madden 19 and might give it a go.

Not sure if its just because there's nothing else really to play right now or if I'm more excited about this football season than I have been in a while.

Steam Sale was the last week. Picked up Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. Was pleasantly surprised as to how great they were
Love Madden...

I played in the BBI league last season but it didn’t seem like there were any guys from the Corner. Most of the players were out West and I’m in NY so scheduling was annoying as well. Wasn’t a particularly friendly league, some rods, so nice guys too and some solid players. Couple of guys were dominant. It was Xbox not PS.

The game is awesome, I play a lot online against others in one off head to head matches. It’s a freaking blast but it does take about 30 minutes per game so it’s a time suck. Giants in 19 should be great offensively. They’re already pimpin’ Saquan.
Game is supposed to come out next month

Yet still no Gameplay vids? EA just treats the consumers like idiots, because they know everyone will still buy it.

Release the same game again, with just a few new things

Darkest Dungeon is fantastic. I have gotten about 200 hours out of that game over the last few years.

I picked up Final Fantasy XV from the Steam Sale. About 2 hours in and enjoying it so far.

I picked up Civ 5 Complete (with tons and tons of DLC) for like $8.99, Cities Skylines also for like $8.99 and XCom2 for like $30 (I could be off by a few dollars on the price). Excited to dig into all of these games.

There are a ton of gameplay vids on Youtube.

Whats always annoyed me about Madden is the attention they give to things that don't really make the "football" aspect of the game better. But they cater to all the whiners who complain about including stupid shiny things like celebrations and having practice jerseys during practice instead of game jerseys and including the Pro Bowl (who cares about the f***ing Pro Bowl?).

So you've got this shiny football game with all these bells and whistles and extra features, but the actual football play in the football game isn't good.

Whatever.
Not much seems to have changed in Online Franchise

...remember the Target passing feature from ‘18, yea me neither. A friend told me that they aren’t going to show the last playcall anymore, which I hope is misinformation. The game is what it is; the key is finding a league with people who don’t do all the crazy stuff you see in online h2h.

I got Slay the Spire too. It's really fun so far. I'm digging the hell out of it.

Mostly I've been playing Rocket League and playing through Cosmic Star Heroine, a throwback JRPG on the PS4. So far, it's pretty fun.

The BBI league will be up and running again when the game releases keep a eye out for the post when the game hits the street we are always looking for new players to join. Trueblue was a good addition but he is correct its kind of a cutthroat league with some really good madden players but we try to keep guys who live in different regions together in the same conferences to cut down on time differences but we have guys in Spain playing with us so there is only so much we can do. I hope more guys can join up.
