10:07 PM - November 6, 2009. Written by HiTEqMETHOD
I've recently been so lucky as to gain employment and the duties of my position call for me to be on the premises of Landshark Stadium during the days of the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl. One of the questions that I was asked in my interview was if I was okay with working during the Super Bowl (as if it were a holiday, to some it may be) I answered yes because it's not likely my Miami Dolphins will be in attendance during the big game unless they bought tickets. Even if they somehow were playing I wouldn't be able to watch. I'm not there to be entertained, I'm there to work. So my question to you is if your favorite team was playing in the Super Bowl would you rather be able to enjoy the game from home or be there live with the disadvantage that you're not being paid to watch them play but rather make sure everything is secure? Meaning you'd have access to the field, locker rooms, etc. but would probably be fired for even glimpsing at the action on the field for more than a few seconds.
*Once again as an extreme precaution if someone I work for happens to stumble upon this blog post (unlikely) I understand my duties and am not saying I'd watch the game instead of doing my job. $11 an hour is money I'm not going to lose out on by consciously making the decision to slack off.
Vyaras downloaded it and i pulled it off his image to put online. Send a PM to thank him for his hard work.

To The Mods: I'm just suppling the Free NBA 2K10 patch to those that don't use Live or Can't Use Live. Its a free patch so nothing is wrong with posting it here for people to download. If its the wrong section please feel free to put it in the right one then.
As for Association, I play HOF and im currently 3-4 with the Hawks we just lost last night to the Rockets. Our next game is away against the Pacers.
* I'll post some pics and vids from each game mode leave comments please
peace for now.
I own a PS3 and my family does have a Wii which largely collects dust. The party types of games are hits for parties but that’s about it. A good first party game with poor graphics comes out once in awhile to keep people interested but there really isn’t much to like for a sports gamer other than Tiger Woods. This machine feels like it was entirely created by hype and somehow Nintendo has ridden this propaganda into massive profits that Microsoft and Sony will never come close to matching. Nintendo can make all kinds of claims about the Wii. It’s a great party system! It’s a workout machine! It’s unique since you have to shake your wrist at the screen! Their commercials even show grandparents joining in on the fun. And every time I see that crap I just shake my head. People get suckered into an idea that the Wii is great fun and then this overpriced console gets used once a week and pads Nintendo’s profit margins.
Call me a bitter fanboy and you will be right. I take delight in seeing Wii sales down 40% from last year and I hope they continue to fall. I want the gaming industry to focus on making high quality games with high quality graphics for myself and not some glorified stick figure game for a seven year old. Nintendo is innovative and creative. Nobody can dispute that. Nintendo is also the next gen console leader without question. And that makes no sense to me.

We need online dynasty people in the (NCAA COLLEGE BASKETBALL 10) EA put it in the game. It would be nice if me and my friends can try to make it to the final four. It would be TREMENDOUS
Game: NBA 2k10
Dynasty Started: Thursday, November 5th 2009
Taking into account how both OSers and the OS Staff will vote, as well as a number of other factors, these games are the one's I could see winning game of the year next month:
MLB 10: The Show - A lot of people felt that The Show got snubbed last year, both on staff and on OS. With this year game being even more quality, I could easily see it winning the gold. Odds: 5-1
NHL 10 - The defending champ is both bigger and badder than it was last year, but I'm not sure it has the same level of aura last year's game had. It seems like, to me at least, people aren't going to vote NHL in. However, I was surprised NHL won last year too. Odds 7-1
FIFA 10 - There are a ton of people who absolutely love this game, and you are looking at one of them. EA Sports best selling franchise is going to have a serious push for Game of the Year this year, but the anti-soccer sentiment crowd might just be too much to overcome. Odds 7-1
NBA 2K10 - NBA 2K10 is a solid improvement over 2K9. Unfortunately for NBA 2K10, I just don't see it garnering enough support despite being a good game since NBA Live has attracted a large number of voters away from 2K10 this year. Odds: 10-1
Forza Motorsport 3 - Based on sheer quality alone, there is no equal this year. But Forza has a few things working against it 1)it's a 360 exclusive title and 2)many OSers won't vote for a racing game. As much as it might deserve it, Forza probably won't be taking home the gold. Odds: 15-1
Other Noteable Games
Fight Night Round 4: 18-1
Madden NFL 10: 25-1
UFC 2009 Undisputed: 30-1
NBA Live 10: 40-1
NHL 2K10: 50-1
NCAA Football 10: 60-1
Big League Sports: Summer: 123192381012-1
Who is your favorite going into voting season? (Which, I might add, begins the second week of December!)
#2 Force Mcnabb to rush his throws.Solid pressure should disrupt the big plays down the field.
#3 Establish the Run to limit Romo's exposure to that talented Philly secondary.Make sure Felix get at least 10-15 touches.
#4The Boys Must protect the Romo,and Roy uno uno needs to shut up and catch the damn ball.No excuses.I dont care who is number 1,who is number 2,just catch the ball.
#5 The Cows must be physical with the featherweight Philly Wide outs...Especially Deshaun Jackson. I would pound him into oblivion everytime Philly has the ball,Even if you get called for roghness,holding,Pass interference.Doesnt matter He must be delt with early and often.Make him pay.If he comes over the Middle The cows safetys must destroy him.If it is a run play hit him on those as well.
Force turnovers on defense and limit turnovers on offense.
It really comes down to this Pressure Mcnabb,Abuse deshaun Jackson,and force turnovers.They have the talent to do it.So lets getr done!!
If the Cows do these things it should be a victory.
P.s. Miles Austin and Felix will be the X-factors. If they come up big expect the Dallas to get hyped up and play lights out.
That aspect of Dynamic Season I enjoy. A lot.
However, I can't help but feel that Dynamic Season is lacking something. And, that something, is dynamic commentary. Playing through Dynamic Season really just feels like you are playing a ton of "Play Now" games with updated DNA. There's no fresh commentary at all, which is really disappointing. You'd like for Marv and Steve to mention Melo's hot start and how he's dominating the league in scoring but instead, you get the same general comments about each player that they make in exhibition games.
The overall presentation is also lacking in these games. You get a few stat overlays that show season stats, but nothing really eye-popping that helps this mode stand out like it should. NCAA Basketball 10 has presentation nailed with its ESPN and CBS integration. I understand not being able to likely get TNT on board, but you'd think Live 10 could've at least been able to integrate more NBA on ESPN graphics and stat overlays and even use NBA TV logos and stat overlays for games. Those little touches, especially in a season or franchise mode, always make a difference.
I'm a big fan of the gameplay in NBA Live 10. The halfcourt game is great and I love the R-stick freestyle controls, coupled with the size-up and post-up moves. Defensively the game is better, post-patch, but could still benefit from having your CPU-controlled teammates play a little smarter.
I like the idea behind Dynamic Season; I just would like to see it expanded upon further.

spotlighting the tears, down they race.
What have I done?
What have I become?
Do I deserve more pain?
Once again I realize that today is not my day.
Spread the word, I part the sea of individuality.
You'll hear me say there is no immortality.
Realize that my cries,
signify that everything I do is to pour more fuel.
Igniting the fire that burns for you.
And all I do is just for you.
I swear it's true.
I cannot take back the words I have spoke.
The words I wrote.
Apologies echo. "let go."
What I knew is not what I know.
No matter the distance,
do not resist this.
Realize that when you cry,
it signifies that you understand.
I am just a man.
Everything I do doesn't do justice to you.
I hold you up so high, breath in life.
Everything I do is pouring the fuel.
Ignite the fire that burns for you.
Oh, how I burn for you.

is stupid they dont box out on defensive rebounds offensive is fine its just defensive rebounds #4 The blocking is totally off they block u from out of nowhere on a dunk or lay up and the one that kill me the most is the one with the invisiable rim one they block u thou the rim i be like come on man so they need to turn that down alot #5 and this one is my favorite one turn up the lay-up percentage please to many miss lay-ups u be like come on man and u miss dunks for no reason what so ever they need to turn that up or take that mess they added to it out #6 they still go out bounds for no reason #7 Fatigue Please Fatigue on Online Play Period #8 they dont call defensive 3 second people be standing in the lane for bout 6 seconds when playing defense they need to fix that #9 Fouls they need to call fouls more way more cause people dont know how to play position defense all they do is reach and they dont get call for a reach in foul and the regular fouls need to up way more #10 Get some of those stupid block animations out the one that just suck u in to a block and it clearly a foul #11 Sometimes u cant control your men its nonreponsive mainly thats online play#12 Fix the shooting for crying out loud to many 3 pointers made they make more threes then lay ups or dunks and thats trerible and last but not least #13 fix the freezing problems ever sense that patch has been added the game freezes and the instant replays dont work right from time to time but if u delete the patch from your hard drive and u can do this the game plays fine its the patch they sent out thats the reason the game play messed up online mainly offline its excellent if u fix the sliders. Look i have a Video on my Arena page check it out or go to my channel on You Tube and check out all my Videos bout Live u wont be Disappointed here is the link for my Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/optimusp76 so thats my many problems with Live but the game is still good as heck but needs those problems fixed mainly on Defense. And also when the second patch comes out i think i hope they addesses these problems and if they do we will have a excellent basketball game.
Working...
