nhl arcade stinks. you are extremely EA biased.

nhl arcade is terrible, every other arcaded hockey game that has come before has been better and could fit on xbla – hitz games for example.

you keep talking about 10 dollar value blah blah as long as you understand blah blah …no the reviewers just thought it sucked and wasn't fun..i don't think it's fun either. there are much better options for downloadable games than this.

if this gets and 8 from you, than stickball does too —-but it won't because you are an insane EA nuthugger beyond repair. Don't call reviewers 'so off base' when you are so completely blinded by your own bias towards EA.

Exactly Skihawks. I have OOTP9 and love it…. until it inevitably crashes! That's why I never really enjoyed PC gaming, because of all the hiccups and crashes, plus you have to keep your system up to date to enjoy graphically challenging games. That's actually one thing I dislike about this next gen console gaming. You have to almost always download something after you purchase a game and then there will be fixes you have to download to get your game working properly because they couldn't have it working right when they released it. The reason I always enjoyed console gaming so much more than PC gaming was because there was no BS like that, but now that there is, I'm actually starting more into the PC realm (just bought a beast of a PC that shouldn't be obsolete for about, oh, another 3-6 months).

Great job, Pasta.

Keep it up. You are pioneering something in this field that the mainstream can't match.

I can't fault 2k for there games as of late……..they are not as prosperous as EA in terms of financial resources and manpower. Give credit where credit is due………i've seen more signs improvements from 2k than Ea has past and present for better or worse. Come on, dude……..this is there first attempt at a sim, text based game………what did you expect? If you were this harsh towards 2k, i hope you don't think Ea is perfect. I've read and heard so many complaints from gamers……especially hardcore gamers on why majority of EA's games are straight garbage…..why the company as a whole ruins gaming franchises and waters down the overall product. Lets look at my version at the tale of the tape:

Madden and Ncaa Football: has been and probably will be a total joke………if you think all-pro was crap, then these football titles shouldn't been released on a year to year basis. Why not have patches on discs?…..so that people can update rosters and bugs? New features don't cut it because its the only football gaming choice many people have……..which is why there's also hate for MLB 2k especially from 360 owners.
Tiger Woods: A game loaded in features with bland gameplay versus the computer AI
Nascar: Similar regard to the golf game……….
Fifa: Too technical as far as controls……..still not as good as its competitor in accessibility
Fight Night: Only worth anyone's time if they play multiplayer only
Live and Ncca b-ball: Have you played anywhere nearly as enjoyable to play as the 2k b-ball games? If anything 2k's "good game" has beaten out EA horrid game.
NHL: not a hockey fan…….can't access here
MVP: as you said with NFL 2k……..doesn't even exist thanks to 2k and probably a good thing since the college version was crap.

Unfortunately, you don't realize that 2k has made efforts to improve their products……..just not in the way you're seeing it right? Those franchises that I've mentioned have been around longer than FOM and yet still haven't delivered. Gameplay, my friend……..its all about gameplay with 2k. If you're looking for text-based, you're judging the wrong book, man.

That review is an embarassment. Here is a real one.

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1651/3-on-3-...

But it doesnt surprise me if it wears off for some quickly these type of games generally dont last as long as the realistic ones for how long I play them too.

UPDATE: Ron2k has forwarded your long list of fixes to the circular file for immediate distribution. It should be hitting the Landfill any time now. ;P
