Cheers mate. Thinking about picking the game up myself and made a post in the games forum just there to see if there's enough players about for an online franchise, would you have any interest?

Played 2k12 recently for the first time and I was thinking of picking it up, I'd definitely be up for an online franchise. Although when is 13 out?

Not 'till October usually mate. The cheapest I've seen it has been around €30 on Ebay. Surprising, as it's usually down to around €20 by this time every year.

From experience it's best to just fork out for the official Xbox ones. They're expensive, but much better IMO.

If any of you play NBA2K12 we're going to get an online franchise (with fantasy draft) started over the course of the next week. The more the merrier:

Would love to start playing this but need to save money, couple of my mates do and have great craic playing it. Especially shouting absolute crap in faux american accents.

helimachoptor

I'd actually sign up, but honestly with the Madden i play i'd be shot if i took up another thing!

Though I'll probably buy the new ghost recon game

Game closed, Gamestop is still open. There are limited edition controllers coming out next week that look sweet. They also have the new Dpad which is for fighting games, if anyone plays them.

Slim i'd say, EA wont want to dilute the Madden cash they get.
If they launch NCAA, they'll be spending a lot more on marketing etc for not a whole lot extra in game sales as a lot of people will buy one or the other, only the hardcore will buy both.

Even if they made it region free so we could buy it from American suppliers

It would be pretty big though, Installed games are 6-8 gb. Although that is the word on the next gen console, all games will be downloaded, no discs. All to stop the preowned trade. They would want to come with a big hard drive

I know a lot of love on this forum for fullbacks so here is Bleacher Reports top 16.

helimachoptor

Quinn Johnson is just awful, he wont be at the Titans next year.
No argument with the top 2. I have both of these guys, but imho Leach is in a different league to Reece

adrian522

I'd have Miller higher to be honest, he's not a great pass catcher or open field runner but that's not really the job of the full back.

He was mic'd up for the Championship game this year, pretty funny stuff.

helimachoptor

You got a link for that adrian?

I do really enjoy when they mic players up

adrian522

I'll have a look this evening, it was either on 49ers.com or NFL.com

Just watching the PS4 announcement stream.

It seems you can LiveStream what you are playing to your friends. Imagine all being able to watch the Superbowls, or a big divisional clash. Would be absolutely epic.

Unless Xbox offer the same, I'll be streaming my Madden league games on PS4 me thinks.

Don't think I'd get a playstation, but that sounds awesome!

Hopefully microsoft follow suit

You can already do that on xbox 360 with COD so I'd imagine they'll have it for all games

Really?? In saying that I don't play cod much

Ya but in saying that aren't you showing everyone then what plays you like to use on defense and offense,if there's a particular set of plays you like to use.

I would think that's secondary come Super Bowl time I'd have loved to have watched a few of the super bowls I don't think it's anything you wouldn't see from playing them anyway

Yes but with the PS4 I can log onto my console, see that you are playing you're league game, and start watching right from my PS4.

I would imagine that a spectator mode would not allow you to see the plays, would be fairly easy for EA to implement.

I know that but what I meant was if they already have it on 360 for one game (even if it's live streaming to YouTube) then they're obviously going to have it on the new xbox for all games, same as the PS4

helimachoptor

George Wilson going to be a Titan.. my secondary has improved so much

PerrinV2

Playing an offline game and something kinda like this happened.Had to watch the replay a few times to be sure.


Basically Brady's throwing,gets hits,fumbles,then about 4 or 5 players dive on the ball,Hernandez dives in last,picks the ball up while diving,rolls on the backs of the players on the ground back onto his feet and starts gunning it down the field(pretty much exactly like the above),
I had to go back and watch it a few times,it was pretty funny actually

SantryRed

RGIII has done this a couple of times. Once to Damarcus Ware

Random question, is anyone else having trouble signing into the connected careers site? Its telling me my email/password combo is incorrect, but I know it isn't as I can log onto my EA origin account with it.

Pudsy33

It appears to be working now!

If anyone is needing to buy a new subscription to Xbox Live for the new edition of Madden then I couldn't recommend CD Keys highly enough.

I just purchased a 13 month subscription (and they throw in some sort of emblem for Halo too) for €33 plus cents. The below is what they have at the minute:



They do 5% off if you like their Facebook page too, but to save you the hassle the code is CDK6355 at the minute, they do change it every so often although the current active one can usually be found at Hot UK Deals.

You pay, the send you an email with a link, click that and you enter your mobile phone number with the 353 prefix which they will instantly send you a code to. Just enter that code and up pops a scanned picture of the subscription code to redeem.

It took me longer to type this than it did to pay for, receive and enter the code :pac:
