Is Spectator Mode Still Desired?

[quote comment="38009"][quote comment="38003"][quote comment="37991"][quote comment="37988"][quote comment="37987"]i hope you guys are joking…you seriously enjoy watching other people play games? people are pretty easy to scout if you look at their career records and stats…and in online dynasties always look as the stats for their players and you will know who is going to get the ball before every game…you really want to waste your time watching someone else play when you could be playing and improving your game instead? wow…i’m absolutely dumbfounded…[/quote]

Everyone has a fifferent way of doing stuff, dont knock em just cause they do it a different way then u do. Why do peeps think if someone doesnt do it the same way they do its wrong? Now thats absolutely dumbfounded..[/quote]

first off all…learn proper english…second of all…learn to read…i wasn’t knocking on anyone…i was just asking whether or not people were actually serious…[/quote]

Hey Jonathon… twist words as much as you like but you did, in fact, point the finger and laugh at those who do enjoy watching the occasional match-up. It’s sentences like… “i hope you guys are joking…you seriously enjoy watching other people play games?” and… “you really want to waste your time watching someone else play when you could be playing and improving your game instead? wow…”. If you cannot see the negative connotations in what you are saying then you are truly so self-centered that you cannot see the forrest through the trees.

There are certainly other ways to scout a teams tendencies but the most enjoyment most would get out of a feature like this would to be able to watch a big match-up like conference championships, bowl games, etc. PGR did it nicely and shows that it can be done without affecting player gameplay.[/quote]

forest is forest…not forrest…see…now that is an example of attacking the person..not the message…[/quote]

Stop looking at the way peeps spell lol.. ur a geek huh?

[quote comment="38010"][quote comment="38005"]haha…you guys are douchebags…i was asking if people were serious…because i was truly amazed by the reaction that this is a MUST HAVE feature…read the words as they are written…stop looking for deeper meaning…because you’re obviously not to gifted at it…[/quote]

I guess we better not look for a deeper meaning for douchebags either huh lol.. U had to go that low? and were not gifted huh guess thats not knocking us either. Dude leave while u can before it gets ugly ur really starting to look like an ass. I dont even do or want this spectator thing is the funny thing haha. Grow up Jon and get a better word to say than douchbags unless of course ur gay i dunno.. holla another one bites the dust.. **rides off in the sunset**[/quote]

LOL nba2k that is some funny stuff bro.

haha…i do love that you sign on as various names in order to make yourself feel that you have some support…or you could just get out of the house and make friends, i suppose…but what fun would that be?

… (its called an ellipsis) …

douchebag is pretty straight forward…glad that you caught on to that….

just so you know…i get some satisfaction in knowing that you are wasting your time replying to my posts when i really could care less as to what you have to say….because i know what i meant to say and i dont really give a hoot whether or not you agree with me or not…[/quote]

I think im getting the satisfaction because I dont even care about the spectator mode I think u are wasting your time but who cares im done talking to you your ignorant.

[quote comment="38019"][quote comment="38008"]it is a question….do you not see the ending punctuation? is it wrong to question the seriousness of people that post online? because i am sure that most of you know that people on forums just say things to say things…i didn’t call anyone out by name…i didn’t make a statement telling people that they were ignorant to enjoy watching games on line…i was merely asking questions about the genuineness of their statements…it wouldn’t be the first time that people posted on a forum just to post and take up dead space…[/quote]

You obviously know you are the douchebag here otherwise you wouldn’t feel so motivated to continue defending you “poor little innocent me” claims. Can’t you see that everyone on this comment thread thinks that you’re a cry baby teenager who made a B+ on his last spelling test? Your attempt at being an intellectual is failing you homeslice so please stop while you at least are only at the douchebag level.[/quote]

lol, he is gonna think I wrote this but nice post john doe. This is my last post in here I`m out.

Im gonna have to check this out. I didnt kno games had this online anymore. I think it would be good to put on Madden too to make sure u dont play cheesers or any online game for that matter. Good find Pasta

u guys are brutal. i see what the one guy was sayin about watching games and it being a waste of time but he’s kind of a jerkoff about it. can’t we all just get along??

it would be amazing if i could spectate online games and games of my friends online, im 100% for this!!!! EA and Take 2 I hope your listening!!

Speaking of a different kind of spectator mode… When I was in college, a buddy and me had to live in an aprtment temporarily while our new aptartment was finished. Since we would only be there for about 3 months, we didnt get cable and all we had was a giant (projection) TV, a VCR and an XBox.

After watching every movie we had about 50 times, we eventually just sat back and popped on a few sports games that we had and watched the computer play each other. Soon enough we were betting on the games and it was so much fun that I occasionally still do that today.

I think Spectator Mode woude be great But what I would really like is something along the lines of a “Game File Mode where Players in Leagues can save their Past Games and send that data to other player or the commish for them to load and go over play by play at their Leisure. and before any body smokes me on this . The NFL does it for each team with scout film (I know this because I have installed several system and NFL facilities to hadle the each previous weeks Game Film that come in from the teams the next oponent)

Ratings Up*
WR Brandon Lloyd – Bears – 75 to 78 – Has been the #1 receiver on the Bears on what is a surprising passing game.
DT Dusty Dvoracek – Bears – 77 to 80 – Has 8 solo tackles and 9 total tackles through 3 games, Tommie Harris has 3 tackles.
QB Carson Palmer – Bengals – 94 to 95 – Something didn’t feel right about this, and Carson proved it. Played very well against a good Giants defense despite a busted nose and minimal pass blocking.
LB Alex Hall – Browns – 61 to 68 – Created several QB pressures with a sack in Week 3.
LT Donald Penn – Bucs – 76 to 80 – Has been a solid starter for the Bucs for a year now.
QB Brian Griese – Bucs – 77 to 78 – Threw for over 400 yards in a wild game vs. the Bears.
WR Antonio Bryant – Bucs – 77 to 79 – Had a 10 catch 138 yard game in Week 3 vs. the Bears.
DE Turk McBride – Chiefs – 75 to 78 – Has played better this year racking up 12 tackles and 3 tackles for loss.
HB Felix Jones – Cowboys – 81 to 82 – Looks just as fast on grass as he does on carpet. Up to 97 speed.
LB Tim Dobbins – Chargers – 65 to 73 – Is now in the rotation at MLB after being a star on special teams for several seasons.
G Ike Ndukwe – Dolphins – 75 to 79 – Worked well with the rest of the Dolphins O-line on Ronnie’s big day.
DE John Abraham – Falcons – 92 to 93 – Leads the NFL with 6 sacks. Beat up on Jeff Backus and a rookie LT in KC.
G Harvey Dahl – Falcons – 76 to 79 – Who? The starting RG in Atlanta paving the way for the Burner Turner.
G Justin Blalock – Falcons – 77 to 79 – Might be finding his niche after struggling badly last year, especially in pass protection.
G Uche Nwaneri – Jaguars – 72 to 74 – Now starting at LG for the Jags, the Jags ran wild in week 3 against an undersized Colts front.
G Daryn Colledge – Packers – 77 to 79 – Working well with an injured interior of the Packers offensive line.
WR Greg Jennings – Packers – 93 to 94 – Superstar in the making. Him and Aaron Rodgers will be a part of a lot of big plays.
DE Kalimba Edwards – Raiders – 76 to 79 – Got the better of Pro Bowler LT Jason Peters on pass rushing situations in Week 3.
HB Michael Bush – Raiders – 79 to 80 – Looks all the way back from injuries. Part of a 3 headed monster for the Raiders at running back.
FS Jim Leonhard – Ravens – 78 to 79 – Played a great game, including several great kick returns, filling in for injured Dawan Landry.
T Zach Strief – Saints – 65 to 69 – Filled in for LT Jamaal Brown vs. the Broncos in a wild shoot out vs. the Broncos. Brees threw 48 times.
CB Bryant McFadden – Steelers – 85 to 86 – Played very well last season as the nickel corner and has filled in for injured Deshea Townsend to the tune of 2 INT’s and 5 pass breakups.
HB Steve Slaton – Texans – 77 to 79 – Busted a 50 yard run vs. the Titans on his 116 yard and a TD day in week 3. His role as a major part of the offense seems secure.
*Few minor ratings changes not noted due to time

Ratings Down
WR Devin Hester – Bears – 81 to 79 – Has caught 2 balls for 13 yards. Not a part of the offense and seems to only be a special teamer.
LT Levi Jones – Bengals – 88 to 87 – Was dominated by Kiwanuka in week 3.
WR Darrell Jackson – Broncos – 83 to 81 – Has slid down the Broncos depth chart, all those passing yards and he is not involved.
QB Derek Anderson – Browns – 87 to 85 – Might not be all the way back. Looks to have a couple starts left on a Browns team heading for a losing record.
LB Kamerion Wimbley – Browns – 88 to 87 – Only had 5 sacks last year rushing the passer, this year he has done nothing.
QB Jeff Garcia – Bucs – 89 to 87 – His benching might be more personal, but only an injury or a couple terrible performances will see him back as the starter.
CB Ronde Barber – Bucs – 92 to 91 – Has lost a step, got picked on last week vs. the Bears.
WR Joey Galloway – Bucs – 87 to 86 – Has lost a step, injured a ton and looks disinterested.
LG Brian Waters – Chiefs – 91 to 87 – Bad timing he goes down 4 points after the Chiefs best running game in a while, but he is near the end.
S Bob Sanders – Colts – 99 to 98 – Loses his 99 cause he can’t stay on the field. Still not a bigger difference maker on the defensive side of the ball.
CB Adam Jones – Cowboys – 86 to 83 – Looks like a player that has been out of the league for a while. Would have thought always trying to cover TO would have helped more.
DE Jamaal Anderson – Falcons – 83 to 81 – Still waiting on his first career sack after being a top 10 pick a year ago.
TE Vernon Davis – 49ers – 87 to 85 – A lot of people saw him catching more than 4 passes in his first 3 games, big disappointment.
DE Reggie Hayward – Jaguars – 86 to 83 – Had 27.5 sacks over a 3 year span, since then has 4.5 over 3 years including a year out injured.
WR Dennis Northcutt – Jaguars – 81 to 79 – Hasn’t done too much on a Jags passing attack that was missing WR Jerry Porter and the invisible Reggie Williams. Matt Jones has stepped up.
CB Al Harris – Packers – 93 to 92 – Before his spleen was lacerated, looked slow vs. Detroit. Was underrated for a long time and he might be getting old now as people know his name.
T Chad Clifton – Packers – 95 to 94 – Got beat up by DeMarcus Ware which shouldn’t be a story, but that wouldn’t have happened a couple years ago.
T Mark Tauscher – Packers – 94 to 93 – Commits too many penalties and looked a little old vs. Dallas.
WR Randy Moss – Patriots – 99 to 98 – Gave a pathetic effort in week 3 whether not going up for an underthrown duck or his blocking. Looks unhappy and won’t be the same threat without the Brady deep ball.
CB Tye Hill – Rams – 86 to 81 – Just got his starting job back after the release of CB Fakhir Brown. This was supposed to be his big year but hasn’t turned out that way.
DT La’Roi Glover – Rams – 84 to 82 – Just benched on the Rams defensive line, that says it all.
QB Marc Bulger – Rams – 89 to 88 – Just benched for Trent Green, will have his job back in 2 weeks whether due to injury or injury.
S Corey Chavous – Rams – 82 to 79 – Has been fading for a long time, one of the only secondary’s he could start in.
HB Ray Rice – Ravens – 80 to 78 – This guy hasn’t been as good as advertised, Willis and McClain seem to have the running game under control.
DE Jason Taylor – Redskins – 98 to 97 – Is injured and hasn’t made the overwhelming difference some thought he may. Now he is injured.
DT Brian Young – Saints – 85 to 82 – Long time overdue. High effort player and can’t get off blocks anymore.
LT Marvel Smith – Steelers – 88 to 87 – Big Ben took a beating last week vs. Philly.
TE Alge Crumpler – Titans – 86 to 83 – Bo Scaife has double the catches and double the yards of Alge.

Injuries
C Tom Nalen – Broncos – IR
LB Dan Connor – Panthers – IR
