I only play madden and GTA, though. I even contemplated getting a custom Bills jersey with the name of my Madden Franchise-mode QB. Would that be gay? I don't me gay in a homosexual way, but gay in a "That's pretty gay, man" way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 $50 a year is exactly $50 more than what I pay to play on PS2. And as far as connection speed? If someone is dumb enough to try on dial up, the system makes you aware of that, and no one plays against them. And you can also use headsets. I own both systems, but only play PS2 online. My friends has an XBOX and plays SoCom online. Sweet game, but he had to pay $50 to play online. Sure, its only $50, but still, its $50 you shouldnt have to spend. Like I said, I think overall, XBox has a slight edge, but there are negatives to both, XBox's being having to pay for "XBox Live". 69803[/snapback] Apparantly you'd rather pay that $50 on memory cards...

stevestojan Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Apparantly you'd rather pay that $50 on memory cards... CW 69807[/snapback] Yep. Because the memory cards last longer than 12 months. And, I only have one, and it was $14.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Personally I don't have a problem paying for it. Keeps out the riff raff. 69811[/snapback] Agreed. Having centralized servers keep track of stats and such is nice as well. Being able to send IMs to people on XBL, talk with them even when they're not playing a game, and challenge them to various games even if they're playing a different game is also nice. Not sure if PS2 has any of those options or not, but they add a lot for me. And as stated above, better than paying the money for memory cards. If only there were a controller adapter so I could use my Xbox controller on PS2. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 I even contemplated getting a custom Bills jersey with the name of my Madden Franchise-mode QB. Would that be gay?

BuffOrange Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Just popped it in for the first time last night. Amateur was ridiculously easy. I won 14-1. I bumped up the difficulty to Pro, but only managed 1 goal in two games. I guess I need to practice. 69768[/snapback] Yeh, I didn't even bother w/ amateur when i first played it. Played a couple of decent games on pro though. My problem with sports games that aren't football is that the seasons are so long, it's not a challenge anymore by the time I get to the playoffs. I don't feel right about changing difficulty settings midseason for some reason. Maybe i'll play on all-star and take my lumps for the first 20 games or so.

I even burned a pick on him during my Fanasy league draft. "And with my last pick, I'll take John Sedbury, quarterback of the Buffalo Bills." The rest of the dudes were like, "Who?

Campy Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 graphics better? most likely? game better? how? I wouldnt wait a year if i didnt have PS2. I would buy PS2. THe game is that sweet. 69759[/snapback] Higher resolution including wide screen HD support, faster load times, and like GTA III/VC, they fix things like shoddy collision detection, graphical tearing, etc... I had GTA III on PS2, and trust me, it looks (and plays) much better on the xbox version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for LOAD times, there is no difference. I own both systems. Believe me, it wont be worth the wait. The only people that say it IS worth the wait are those that only own an XBox. By the time is comes out for XBox, the XBox 2's will be ready to ship, and no one wil want it anyway. While you guys wait, I'll be having fun playing it. That's the bottom line.

jshockeyguy7 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 well... i work at gamestop on military in NF... and just like this board everyone seems to be torn on the xbox / ps2 differences. Heres my opinion and the general opinion of everyone at gamestop and my customers. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, obviously the HD and the better graphics and loading speeds on the xbox, but still lacks the massive title selection PS2 has to offer. As with games like GTA : SA for the xbox they take that much longer to be developed because the graphics are better, its a much more advanced processing system on the xbox, and microsoft always wants to put out a better product, no matter how long it takes. ( As a side note for GTA its actually 7 times as big as Vice City, it takes place in a whole state! And if you havent yet, if you really want this game when it comes out please go to your local gamestop, or come see me on military and reserve it, or else you wont get it. ) Now with PS2, you get a wider variety of games, and free online play which is nice. But it lacks the same graphics capalities the xbox has, and you need to buy memory cards which have limitied space, especially if you have a NHL or Madden franchise. As for the person who asked about ESPN Hockey, this game dominates NHL 05 in every aspect. I play my franchise mode on Hall of Famer with the goalies skill all the way up and the franchise difficulty all the way up, and i started the season 0-12 but im back up to 7-13 now. So to simplify my argument XBox = First person shooters / Sports games / Online if you can afford it PS2 = RPG's / Wider Variety / Free Online Capablitites It all just comes down to what you prefer. Sorry if this was too in-depth.... but it is my job after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
