Did you go default or change things up? You don't get the directional arrow for kicks on certain levels/settings.

With the exception of a couple of wonky interceptions that never seem to be fixed, I haven't had any issues so far.

Came into last two games of season 10-4 with the browns. Lost both! 10-6. Made playoffs. Along with the Ravens and Bengals from same division. won first two rounds. Now it's up to Virtual Baker to take down TB12 in the AFC championship game. I'll keep you updated.

I just saw this. That's by design. It shows up quickly then you have to do it by feel in the controller. It's to simulate pressure. You can turn it off I think.Ryan wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 10:06 am Just bought Madden yesterday. First time in maybe 6 or 7 years. Really thought it played well until I lost by 3 because the kicking meter didn't show up for my two 4th Q field goal attempts, including the last play of the game. Remember when games were ready to come out when they came out?
Also, the Chargers were moved to Brooklyn and became the Beats three seasons into my Franchise. Odd.

Bought Football Manager 2020. First time playing (but did have a free copy of Eastside Hockey a long time ago). My son aid it best. FIFA if you like playing soccer FM if you like soccer but love spreadsheets.
Started as DC Unites but f'd up the thing so badly I could not register Wayne Rooney, Canouse, and Hamid on the team due to salary cap (but had Seat on a super cheap loan). So started over and Wayne hurts hipmin training and is out up to 5 months (and he already has the transfer to Derby) and can't get Dest.

EA's exclusive license (15 years) with the NFL expired today and 2K has already picked up a license.
Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
I believe that 2k Is for a "non-simulation" games like Blitz and Street.

Go to calendar and pick a date in the future you want to go to and you can simulate to that date.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
So. I’ll tell on myself. My youngest and I played spider man a lot last year. Then kinda stepped away around Christmas. Then a few weeks we decide to play it again. Can’t find the disc. Can’t even find the box. Can’t figure out what happened. Anyway we loved the game so I bought a used copy of the game so we could play it. Put the disc in today to play it. It says “do you want to use the disc version and overwrote the downloaded version? You will lose all game data”
So yeah. I didn’t remember we bought a download code originally.
I’m an idiot.
Anyhoo... if someone would like to play spider man on ps4 I will happily send them the game for free.
It is ps4 exclusive so you have to have that console. Reply here or dm. First come first serve.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
I'm thinking about jumping back into video games, but I'm way too indecisive and confused. Some things I've considered:
*Going old school and buying a NES classic so I can play Techmo and Mario but it looks like it's tough to purchase this.
*Getting a Switch instead so I can play Mario Kart, Smash Brothers and download old school games, but this a monthly subscription and might be tough to find.
*Getting a new Playstation and jump back into sports games, but I don't know if my old brain can handle it. My days of putting up 100 a game in Madden 2004 are long over. It would be like the Bjorn Borg comeback.
*Signing up for Slack. I loved Jackbox games but I don't know what else I would need to buy
*Stadia -- google is pushing this hard
I think I'm leaning towards Slack

The retro NES thing isn't expensive, but you can't add games to the console. The controller cable is short too.

I assume you mean Steam? Hard to go wrong there.
And I personally wouldn't buy a PS4 right now. The PS5 is supposedly fairly close.

I'd actually suggest spending the little extra and getting the Super NES mini, as you can jailbreak it and add both Super NES and NES games to it fairly easily.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 8:25 am The retro NES thing isn't expensive, but you can't add games to the console.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
Get a Switch and the online access. Well worth the money, especially if you think you'll get a lot out of the retro games. If you think you'd be playing handheld most of the time, get the Switch Lite. It's a little smaller and cheaper, but you can't dock it to a TV. Plays the same games though.
Steam is great just based on volume of stuff, but if you're not already a computer-type gamer, I don't think it's the best option.
Nobody I've read says Stadia is a good idea.
Echo AB on PS4. I use it plenty for the games I use it for (sports stuff, Spider Man, Hitman) but it's reaching end-of-life status.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
All good here. I have a switch and highly recommend. The online access/NES/SNES library is a subscription service, but it's 20$/year so basically free. Get a pro controller, worth the money. You likely won't find one anywhere for at least a month, Nintendo recently said they've been sold out worldwide.Ryan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 8:31 am Get a Switch and the online access.

I'm also in the boat of this awkward time on a new console. I skipped the last generation so I've got a 360 which hasn't been out of a box in years and a Wii, same story. I really want to play the FFVII Remake, but I can't justify going and spending 400$ on a console when I know the PS5 is coming out late this year...
Also, anyone interested in an old 360 or wii? I would box em up and ship them cheap.

If someone else is interested in the console and needs the games, that person is priority.

Is there a guide to follow without picking up cheats? Like if I didn't google, I wouldn't have known only the lead character (not me) is able to donate the fish.
Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
Polygon has all the good guides. Anyone can donate fish, I thought. Are you at the beginning before the museum opens? Even then, I'm pretty sure I did all the donating instead of Cameron.
The multiple people sharing an island thing completely sucks in many other ways though.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
Nope, only the main character (my oldest) was able to. I had mad fish but never got the option to tell Tom so I switched characters (at 11:00 PM EST on a Sunday) to hers to kick that off.
We finished Day 1 activities yesterday on our Day 2, but I'm not sure how we would have known to donate for a museum if I hadn't started googling around for next steps. They just liked running around and shit and my 5 year old celebrated when it got dark out in real life because that meant its dark in the game and she can go into the horse's tent, push her out of the way and lay in her sleeping bag until she gets a confused question mark over her head.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
Haha, yep. If you're reasonably sure they'll get over it within, say, 4 months, start over and make yourself the primary.
After the museum opens, everyone can donate fish, bugs, and fossils, so that headache will be gone. (And you'll be mad when things haven't been donated yet because selling them for money is way better)
But the main character has to be the one to initiate all the big steps in the game and things like building ramps and bridges and buying land for houses to get new villagers to come.
