in defense of that, i played ncaa 07 last night, then played an hour or 2 of GRAW

didnt earl

7/16/2006 9:55:06 AM

the crowd looked nice from afar, I didnt pay attention when it was up close though

I always skip everything I can to get to the next play or series of plays.

It will be better on xbox I'm sure.

7/16/2006 10:02:45 AM

is Ray Brooks in the game? Burke?

7/16/2006 12:05:11 PM

well i got my 360 transfer kit working now...spent $40 on a memory card and $15 for the transfer kit so i will be downloading the rosters on tuesday...so id like to get like $5 for the rosters if anyone wants them (im not trying to make money on the guys who do the rosters for free, but i just spent $55 to be able to download the rosters and game saves for any other game...such as fight night 3, i now have mike tyson, lennox lewis, etc)...

7/16/2006 6:45:34 PM

7/16/2006 6:59:33 PM

i don't care how good i game looks, i can't stand it when the framerate is low... 360 ftw either way.

7/17/2006 1:15:18 AM

No shit? This is where I put my early deposit down. I live right down the street from there so I'll be there.

Thanks for the heads up.

7/17/2006 12:05:33 PM

which one in cary? there are like 3 there

7/17/2006 2:04:45 PM

cary town center hopefully?

7/17/2006 2:20:11 PM

I just called the mall and crossroads EB Games,

cary town center - no
crossroads - yes

if you put down a deposit at another EB Games, it will not carry over to another store.

7/17/2006 2:32:39 PM

like i said, its a midnight release at crossroads...however, they said theyre only doing preorders for the midnight release and if you dont have a preorder then youll have to go to the end of the line and wait until all the preorder people have bought their copies first...

[Edited on July 17, 2006 at 3:35 PM. Reason : yeah]

7/17/2006 3:35:15 PM

can you still buy a preorder today?

7/17/2006 4:03:18 PM

i have no clue, just call them up at crossroads...i really hope they have like 10 people working...its coming out on xbox, ps2, 360...probably all kinds of fuckin preorders

7/17/2006 4:16:38 PM

how long will they stay open

i wanna get it at 12 but dont wanna be there thru the fucking rush

7/17/2006 4:17:37 PM

Guitar Guy whats good with them rosters??

7/17/2006 4:27:26 PM

all of the 24 hour walmarts should have it avaliable as well i would think

7/17/2006 4:39:38 PM

the 2 guys that do rosters are supposed to have them online tomorrow...probably not at midnight but at some point during the day tomorrow i would assume so ill post on here when they are available and i have downloaded them...then anyone that wants to bring their memory card over or their hard drive over can get them. like i said, i spent $55 just to be able to download them so itd be nice to get like $5 you know...its not asking much

[Edited on July 17, 2006 at 5:00 PM. Reason : yeah]

7/17/2006 5:00:30 PM

someone pointed this out on http://www.operationssports.com

i think it is cool that they put random people from away teams in the crowd as well as a little section of all the fans from the away team...for example, ncsu @ duke...







as you can see, thats what duke's generic stadium looks like...

[Edited on July 17, 2006 at 5:07 PM. Reason : pics]

7/17/2006 5:06:53 PM

i also have a bone to pic with people saying this game sucks and looks bad...i hope youre playing it on hdtv because if youre not playing any 360 game in hd, yes they do not look all that good but thats why the 360 is hd-compatible...its a console system meant to be used with an hdtv...

7/17/2006 5:08:39 PM

some more NCSU pics of Carter-Finley...dont look if you'd rather wait to see it yourself when you get the game...looks like we got screwed and didnt get the new end zone in the game...

they've been doing that for years

7/17/2006 6:56:22 PM

i'll pay somebody $5 to pick me up a copy at midnight and deliver it (avent ferry road)...i have to be at sas in the morning and have too much stuff to do around here to go wait in line

7/17/2006 7:17:26 PM

5 bucks, lol, big spender

7/17/2006 7:18:24 PM

that's all it's worth to me...i can just pick it up after work tomorrow

7/17/2006 7:25:13 PM

I'm not totally suprised they didn't include the new stadium additions in this game because from the article I was reading they went to each individual stadium and worked on getting lighting dynamics and stuff like that, so when they gathered all of their data, they would have been looking at the old stadium.

But it's weird since last year's game had the new additions included.

I wonder if the regular XBox version will have the new additions since I don't think the new and improved research on stadiums was included in those games.

7/17/2006 7:50:50 PM

last years game had the new stadium in it, for the past 2 years im pretty sure they had the entire new stadium...they havent had the old fieldhouse in there for a few years...

yes they used to put away team's fans in the stands but people said they put them in the real away sections this year with the bands too...so we'll see tonight...

7/17/2006 9:11:37 PM

Yes I have an HDTV and it looks like garbage, no improvement over even madden. Hell, at least the grass in madden had some bump mapping and detailed textures.

And I wont even get in to the framerate.

7/17/2006 10:01:08 PM

i think i might pick one up from best buy tomorrow.

anyone who gets it tonight, please post your first impressions.

7/17/2006 10:14:18 PM

holy crap those pictures of our stadium are crazy! i wanna play this game

i'm sure there have been some improvements since it's just a demo that is released online...if not, this game may be problematic. i had some problems with the sensitivity closing in and tackling on defense...i'm hoping that the demo isn't the completely final version...

7/17/2006 10:47:15 PM

is it even worth goin out there tonight if you dont have it pre-ordered?

i've got $5 down on it at cary town center eb games, but tryin to decide if i wanna go down to crossroads tonight and grab it or not.

7/17/2006 10:58:51 PM

who has it?

7/18/2006 12:09:57 AM

stop playing and tell us about it douches

7/18/2006 12:49:16 AM

we should devote a thread to questions in regards to EB Games and Gamestop, and I will answer all of them

let me know if you guys care enough for that, cause I would be willing

it would be helpful for anytime promotions are running and shit...I will have an answer for pretty much anything

7/18/2006 1:38:09 AM

wow, i dont like it. how do u edit players equipment??

7/18/2006 2:03:02 AM

I have mine in hand but can't play it till I get off work at 5am.
so all I Can do is stare at it for now

7/18/2006 2:25:21 AM

once you get the hang of it, its pretty fun

7/18/2006 3:30:50 AM

Who has it? is it worth it?

7/18/2006 8:25:40 AM

i bought it for the 360 last night and played one game and put some names in. I am pissed that you can't change the equipment on players.

7/18/2006 8:41:30 AM

its great, im an ncaa football guy so...maybe you dont want my opinion cause its biased...also, the guy asking about editing equipment...in the 360 version you cant edit equipment

7/18/2006 8:42:29 AM

i might rent it first to check it out. i definitly want to play it though. how is the frame rate?
