Like for PS2 or PC or anything...?

I'm playing NCAA 2003 and doing the Dynasty mode. I'm in the year 2007 and it is my second year at Georgia Tech. I'm getting fed up with my conference's offensive lines. I've got a redshirt freshman with 15 sacks in 9 games, including last week's game against North Carolina State in which he changed the single game individual sacking record from 3 sacks to 5 sacks. One more sack and he single handedly would've tied the TEAM record for sacks in a game. Did I mention that he is a redshirt freshman and will be at Georgia tech for 2 to 3 more seasons? He leads the NCAA in sacks and tackles for loss with 15 and 30something (respectively). He's currently lined up to take Defensive MVP, and Linebacker of the Year trophies.

The Cornerback of the Year trophy is within the grasp of my true freshman CB also. He is currently ranked 2nd for Cornerbacks and 5th for defensive players nationally. He has 7 interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.

And offensively, my senior halfback has had two 250+ rushing yard games, one of them he ran for 300+ yards. He scored 6 touchdowns in the game in which he ran for 300+ yards, and he has a good chance of breaking the season record for rushing touchdowns. He is ranked #1 Halfback nationally, #1 Offensive MVP nationally, and he is at the top of the Heisman list. If he gets the Heisman, it will be the second year in a row that Georgia Tech earns a Heisman after snatching one last year for a wide reciever.

Last year, I took Georgia Tech to the Fiesta Bowl and defeated Colorado 33-21 for the National Championship. Georgia Tech finished the season 13-0 and also won the ACC Championship trophy. So far this year, Georgia Tech is currently ranked #1 on both polls and 9-0, with a tough match up against #15 Florida State, and a rivalry game against a weaker Georgia team to cap off the season. I'm sure Georgia Tech will finish undefeated with the ACC championship trophy and go play in the National Championship. The BCS rankings put Arkansas in second with a fairly large gap between themselves and Georgia Tech, but a narrow gap between Arkansas and third ranked Miami. Behind Miami is the Tennessee team which Georgia Tech defeated in Knoxville during week two, for Tennessee's season opener. Tennessee has not lost yet and will likely face Arkansas in the SEC championship game. I imagine if Arkansas wins the SEC championship, Georgia Tech will square off against the Razorbacks for the National Championship. If Tennessee wins, Miami will most likely take on the Yellowjackets.


...wow, I'm bored...I think I'll go play against FSU now...

EDIT: UPDATE: Arkansas defeated South Carolina (which is no big deal), but Tennessee went down and defeated Miami easily (45 to 24) IN MIAMI, FLORIDA!!

If you want a pro game than go with NFL 2K5, you can't find a better deal than that it is only $20 and is an overall better game than Madden 2005

Foozball is the Devil! Actually, I don't think it is, but I really don't have much of an interest in sports.

WHen they develop some sort of virtual reality with a tactile feedback system(so you can actually feel what happens), I'll be more interested.

Read the book, Kill-o-byte by Piers Anthony for what I expect from my video games. :)

Only game I play on a regular basis right now is City of Heroes. Because being a superhero is so damn cool. :)

EA Games is much better than 989. I used to play the 989 games until about 2000, then Madden and EA stepped it up, and now I only play EA games. At the beginning of the off-season, when you look at the college players that are leaving their teams, you can save the draft class to a memory card and put in Madden and then use them for the draft. EA has better gameplayability.


Anyway, I beat FSU, and then beat Duke. The funny thing is, I was beating #15 FSU the whole game and won by 10 points. Duke was 2-8-0 when I started the game and at halftime, I was down 10-7. By the end of the game, the score was 56-10, my victory. Hehehe. Right now, I'm letting the computer play both teams for the Georgia@Georgia Tech game, but I am about to restart it and play it myself. I realized that my Linebacker is about 3 sacks short of the season recod, and 3 sacks in one game is a very realistic goal...but then again, he's a redshirt freshman, so there's always next year...
