I'm still not convinced that Live will actually come out this year. :jrue: 

Live will definitely come out this year IMO but it will suck and the sales will be horrible. They've put more money into marketing the game this year than ever before. The BounceTek thing alone is more effort than they've put into the series since Live 10. I don't think it comes out until like December on the new consoles so they still got time.

Government support lol

This ain't The Last of Us multiplayer.

Criminal Justice is a great field in terms of jobs and future jobs. Technology can't touch it since it has such a profound human to human interaction. Plus I'm pretty confident people will continue to break laws and get into trouble and the population is exploding. I'm not passionate about it tbh but I went into it because it was practical. Sports journalism was my passion but the newspaper industry is RIP and its basically replaced with countless blogs and other bullshit that isn't stable.

#Life #CashMoney #inb4Suicide

Speaking of suicide, do you guys plan on playing some kind of OA or whatever?

Even TLOU got rid of welfare.. Tough times @ ND imo

Human interaction :rayray2: I don't consider that a career. That's just a regular hell job. Sports journalism would be awesome. Sports medicine is meh unless I become the next Dr Andrews @ the age of 84. Fun stuff

OA's gonna happen. Prob only gonna last 1-3 weeks but that surely won't be our fault

crew > oa

I'm open to trying OA but I know how that movie turns out. Plus we don't have Ante, huge loss.

I hate most human interaction too bruh but that's life. There's never going to be a day where a computer is a probation officer or a computer is a judge/jury/lawyer/cop/state trooper etc. Gotta be a human to do that job. I wish I was an actor/entertainer like Crax where they would pay me appearance fees to show up to London's finest clubs once in awhile but that's not reality.

Crax said he saw a level 452 on TLOU today.  

Wings of Redemption imo

Oh well, I didn't plan to get 2K right away (or ever) because I have FIFA preordered for a couple weeks now after the lolPES fiasco. Might need to find a way to get 2K via PS Store if needed for OA.

I just hope the OA plan doesn't include this, 10 new users every 3 days who will play for a day and disappear or be kicked through the hidden chatroom.

Bring back Hatr.

Pow pow*

I rather make it big somewhere somehow

No ante :rayray2: .. Stick to crews imo

I hated the Pow Pow stuff at first but I love it now tbh. I want more.

You'll make it big on 2k ranked (again) and d-riding me on TU/Crews. I'll carry you again on team play this year etc

OA just seems impossible to be smooth and successful. Not only is the game mode itself broken but then you have to depend on too many people to be active and/or give a shit. Tough task. I would literally contemplate suicide if I had to join some of these OA's who want you to play like 2-3 games a day. Crews are nice...just play when its convenient. I was thinking of getting a game from the PSN store this year but I like the freedom to sell/trade the item if I get disgruntled.

Every OA blows ass. They ask for ridiculous amounts of games played with retarded rules. I don't understand how anyone can cooperate with that. I don't understand why no ones active here either. No strict rules set unlike everywhere else. I guess these nonconfrontational pussies prefer to be dominated

At least the game mode itself is guaranteed to be broken, so we can stick to crews

Pretty much what I thought. One too many OA has failed, it'll be better off without a new try. I still have 2K13, last time I played it was in May when Nicolas 'Luka' Faptum was happening and before that I think my last game was during last years OA.
There are a lot better things to spend money than on a game I never play.

kthxbye

Can't blame ya.

Are you getting gta 5 bounce?

Probably not, I'm not a big fan of GTA. I hope to get Beyond Two Souls next month when it comes out.

 

ISBA is officially dead.

Hope to see you representing DD if the crews is decent.

inb4 everyone gets NHL for their team game mode. A huge advantage over FIFA's be a pro is that are less positions in hockey so you don't have to have 5+ players online at the same time to be competitive.

I'm sure our NHL_Expert_Bryan can shed some light on EASHL. I don't know the rules or anything but it looks fun on YouTube.

If crews suck I'm getting NHL as well, demo was fun.

The demo is awesome.

We need 'Ice Hockey for Dummies' crash course into the basics of NHL.
Is there a team called Golden State Eskimos? San Francisco Polar Bears? Who is Stephen Curry of NHL? Who is Royce White of NHL? Is there a foreign David Beckham-like player 10x more famous than anyone else in NHL? Is there a colorful ABA version of the puck? Are BJJ submissions allowed during fights? Tagging in another player? I feel lost.

*google*

Anaheim Ducks seem to be geographically closest to SF. Plenty of Canadian teams including... Canadiens.
Philadelphia Flyers. Minnesota Wild sound like a WNHL team. Winnipeg Jets owned by Chris Jericho.

I'm a disgrace to the hockey community imo

I've NEVER played regular games, purely team up. It's cool though because team up/EASHL is the most played thing online anyway. Plus I like the idea of building your own player up and using him online. And not like 2k where people can cheat it or inflate it. The rules and player positioning are easy to learn after about 10-15 games. It's just quicker, more physical soccer basically.

Hockey doesn't have the sparkling personalities like Royce, Charles Curry or David Beckham. It's a bunch of strong white guys who like listening to rock music. Which would explain the semi-horrible NHL 14 soundtrack.

I won my first 2 fights of the year playing last night. Pretty happy about that at this juncture. I would hope Bounce wasn't getting GTA since he's made fun of that game countless times.

"lol gta"  

Ducks>

Player getting better ratings on NHL is the same as on FIFA? Reaching accomplishments and stuff?

Mighty Ducks starring Emilio Estevez is an all time classic movie.

Since you Bryan and Leroy are only ones with first hand knowledge
- If I wanted to include two NHL and two NFL players into the forum banner for diversity purposes, what players would fit the criteria
a) Stephen Curry level of good and polarizing
and
b) Royce White level of infamous off the court

(Phillip Brooks & Beckham as representatives of other sports)

On FIFA your created player starts off way better. On NHL you start off like 56-57 overall. I believe on FIFA I was in the 70s when I first started.

To get attribute points you have to win TU or EASHL games, plus have a certain rating but the big thing is winning games. That can be difficult to do but you get better eventually. Boost packs are decent for a guy just starting out. I'd buy one right now if I could tbh. It would be well worth $3.99 or w/e small amount it costs to go from 59-60 ovr to at least in the high 60s. Boost packs are worthless once you become good but for a newbie its decent.

NFL banner candidates: Riley Cooper, Robert Griffin lll, Calvin Johnson, Cam Newton
NHL banner candidates: Phillip Brooks in Chicago Blackhawks gear (kill 2 birds with 1 stone ftw)

Bounce, I'd just wait to see how 2k14 crew is before you buy it. I'm in a similar situation as you. Without OA or good crew I'll barely play the game. If crew is garbage I'll probably sell the game and maybe pick up 2k13 cheap and just use that for any offline gaming needs I have. Me, Leroy, Crax, Luka etc can test it out for ya etc

Crew might be worth it if it works at all imo

If you're looking for the chuck curry of the NFL, it's RG3. If you're looking for The Lebron of the NFL, it's Calvin Johnson. Royce White type of infamy would be Chad Johnson or Terrell Owens. Maybe Mike Vick

Aaron Hernandez & Riley Cooper would be the LOL wut choices.

I'm in no rush to get NHL, would wait until mid-October either way. Can't wait for the impressions to read: "It's blacktop with matching jerseys and stat tracking" and crax adding "And you can block dunks."

Very nice suggestions for the banner. Brooks in Blackhawks jersey - there's an epic photo.
LOL I checked the infamous NFL-ers, wow.

Is there a coach/GM interesting enough for whatever reason. And also since there's a Music thread... anyone?

:macklemore: 

Rex Ryan would definitely be the interesting coach. He sucks ass but that's basically his thing now. His foot fetish era was comedic gold... Actually his whole career has been comedic..

Music has to be Yeezus &/or Rihanna imo. It has to be someone everyone either likes or hates. We all like those 2 & can't think of anyone who's unanimously hated.

I would say Drake but some people don't appreciate his genius :rondo:

Another random infamous player is Randy Moss. He's 3rd place in terms of hate behind Chad & Terrell but he has the look. He's like if Ben Wallace had a baby with Allen Iverson

Drake is a candyass. He's more of a softy than JCole.


Crax playing NHL 14 demo again.... 

I'm going to be super pissed if 2k14 crews are shitty like Blacktop. I'd even accept an improved version of blacktop but if it's literally "crews" with the same feel as blacktop on 2k13 I will riot.
