BongoBob Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Sometimes it's both. I can have fun at times (few things are more fun that getting a friend and causing tomfoolery by switching players and tackeling in rapid fire succesion, thus causing the entire team to take out the entire opposite team), but most of the time it's a lying cheating piece of bulls***. You can be winning by 100 points, come forth quarter it doesn't matter. The CPU gets a 300% boost in every possible friggin place. Every game I play, I kick ass in the first 2 quarters. The third quarter is pretty even. Then in the fourth almost every play they do blows me out of the water. Am I the only person that believes this?

KBell Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 its always like that. If you hold any sort of lead in the game, the AI is boosted and basically every player on the field breaks a tackle. If you're down, your team gets the same boost. It's what makes the game challanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 What do you mean, like in every football game or just blitz. There's only two things wrong if you're talking about just blitz... 1)The rare occasions I am losing at that point they still get the same idiotic boost. 2)If by challenging, you mean every play is either a fumble, an interception, a sack, or a deflection, then you're correct. PS:If it seems like I'm flaming here, I'm not, I'm just saying what I think. No offence to you KBell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBell Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 none taken. Blitz is an arcade game, hence the unbelievably hard gameplay when you're leading. This doesn't happen in games like Madden or ESPN because they're more focused on the reaslistic side of the game. If you're looking for realistic gameplay and an AI that stays constant throughout the game, try Madden. You can customize all the AI setting yourself.

Kain Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Its cheating. I can't go much past the 3rd play without EVERYTHING I do backfiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 Originally posted by Kain Its cheating. I can't go much past the 3rd play without EVERYTHING I do backfiring Quoted for emphasis. I'm saving up for ESPN 2K5, but I just don't have the money right now. I have to finish getting the last ten dollars for halo 2, and then I have to pay back a debt I owe my mom, and then I have to buy a few other necessities(sp?) before I can even think of getting another game.

KBell Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 ESPN would definetly be your cheapest bet, as it's now only $20. I just believe Madden has a better Franchise mode and more advanced gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 No offense, but I've never liked madden that much. I've always loved NFL/ESPN 2K series better. I don't know why. But I do like the create a fan mode of Madden 2005, that's just greatness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 NFL Blitz 2000 for the N64 owns your mothers. Best. Football Game. Ever. I'll probably get the newer NFL Blitz someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you guess which one? Madden, that's right. Madden 2005 has become one of the best selling videogames to ever hit the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I used to play NFL Blitz when it first came out on the N64. I stick to ESPN NFL 2K5 now. ESPN is your best bet for 20 bucks, and has much better presentation, franchise, yada yada, than Madden. The only reason I would buy Madden is for the Hit Stick. But eh, I can deal with pressing the Square button for hard tackles instead of flicking right analog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz 2000 > Madden in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I love madden, even though I'm not that good at it.... if anyone ever wants to hook up for some madden, or NHL 2005 online, PM me. I can't comment on blitz, I remember playing on the 64, but it kinda got real old real fast for me. I much prefer a simulation sports game than an arcade sports game.

Mike Windu Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Arcade games are fun but they can get boring compared to long term simulation like madden and the 2K series. NFL Street may be one of the best arcade games I've seen though, it tops the recent line of blitz crud. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Meh, aside from having USED to play Blitz, I don't play many sports games. The whole Madden craze makes me sick. Seriously, if I took my PS2 or XBox ANYWHEREI'd be playing and if someone WHO DOESN'T KNOW ME mind you would ask me 'You got Madden?'. I would ****ing have to pause my terrible and bloody path through Nazis, Dhampires, Covenant, and Sarafan warriors and turn to the person, look them dead in the eye, and say 'Does it look like I 'gots Madden'' in the snootiest ****ing voice you'll ever hear, no less. Then they get all pissy and I have to explain to them its MY ****ing PS2/XBox, and if I want to spend all day bathing in the virtual blood of a thousand dead priests and half-vampires and not look at playbooks for said time than I will and if they think I'm wrong, they can get their OWN ****ing PS2/XBox. They usually shut up after the 'bathing in the blood of 1000 dead priests and half-vampires' part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I prefer the Arcade style because it doesn;t have half the rules of Madden. Madden gets boring after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
