I used to have the game down pat, but now, it's like playing a whole new game. I'm struggling to get a hang of everything.

Worth a crack?

Depends what you like. It's a very slow game, so if you dont have a couple of hours, it might get a bit boring.

All you really do is explore, discover things, build a base, and apparently now you can do different things to earn cash (farming, mining, science, etc).

I only just started again, so I've really go FA and havent done much more than repair my ship.

Played 10mins of Destiny 2 before leaving for work this morning.
From what I saw it looks like I'll be spending countless hours playing this one too!

Anyone on XB1 hit me up

Madden 17 yesterday. I've started a new career with the Texans with the new rosters.

Started the season a bit iffy with rookie QB DeShaun Watson.

The first game against the Bears, I used my timeouts too quick in the first half and ran out of time while driving down the field. On the last play of the game we were 3rd and goal on the 1 yard line. Tried a FB Dive straight up the middle and got stuffed. Lost that one.

Second game against Kansas City, the game started off as a shootout. Watson threw 4 picks, one being a 95 yard pick 6. Lost that one by a big margin.

Between the games I cut both Leckler (Punter) and Novak (Kicker) and signed Free Agent Pat McAfee. (purely because hes a gun and I like his Podcast). It also cleared about $900k in the salary cap. McAfee can punt and kick. Two birds one stone.

Third game was against the Patriots in Foxborough, Held Brady to eff all, picked him off twice, sacked him 6 times. The only score I put up was a field goal and a safety. We won our first game of the season 5-0.

Fourth game was against the Titans in Houston. The Titans scored first, and we replied pretty quickly. Our second TD was on a 51 yard post route. thrown perfectly to DeAndre Hopkins. BUT McAfee missed the extra point, making the score 13-7. Trust the only guy I signed so far potentially cost us the game. The Titans scored two field goals, tying the game, and sending us to overtime.

In OT, DeShaun Watson threw a pick, meaning the Titans only needed a FG to win it. On their first play, the Titans fumbled and we recovered. Watson drove the ball to the 28 yard line. I decided to go for the FG to end it. In this situation, the game makes it harder for you. The HUD disappears, the controller starts vibrating, and I started sweating. McAfee steps up to kick. Swings the boot. It's a low, hard kick. Scrapes over the bar. TEXANS WIN!

I had to turn it off and have a lie down.

Sounds good but will it actually be any good? Wondering if it'll worth my time and money.

If it's anything like the last EA sports one brought out for the 2007 (I reckon). THat was awesome

You could play shield, county and do tours of different countries. Plus edit and players and teams. Loved it

Haha I was actually waiting for you to post about Cricket 07. Yes mate, still the best cricket game ever IMO because of all the game modes and tours, I still get my PS2 out and play it a few times during cricket season when I want a bit of a cricket game fix.

I played one game last night.

It was the Vikings in Minnesota.

Can't remember the exact score, but for the second game in a row, I kicked a FG to win it as time expired.

Standard for most games these days.

F**ked for the first 3 or 4 weeks until they patch it.

MLB The Show was the same. Awesome game, but broken. They ended up giving anyone who logged in in the first week a shitload of packs in Diamond Dynasty.

Playing no mans sky. Don't mind it, but pretty frustrating when I CANT GET OF MY ORIGINAL PLANET!!!!!!! Can't seem to find all the necessary minerals. And the environment my planet has, isn't great either. With inventory filling up pretty quickly that also annoys me. I actuallyy don't mind the game...

Yeah it's a bit tricky if you get plonked on a hot planet, with hostile sentries, and no resources.

Right now I'm on a moon, that is just flat grass, and very little resources. Can't find enough fuel to launch. Add to that the millions of creatures (all extremely hostile) and I'm not having a great time. :lol:

Much better than being too easy though.

Great game to relax with.

Agreed.

My planet isn't hot, just toxic atmosphere... friendly wildlife. Plenty of fauna just a couple I need I can't find.

Getting the hang of the game now. Able to get further away from my plane and explore more...
