    Ideas for ESPN 2K5 a

    1. VIP on line mandatory
    2. Lets run a test season/preseason with trades to see if it effects game play.
    3. Test out weather and any other variables to see how it effects game play. One a week. Feedback from everyone to see how it played out
    4. I would like to use Fantasy draft if we can. As much as i want to be the Giants. It would really be nice if getting certain teams where not such a tough hall.

    Just my own two cents

    I really like the idea of a fantasy draft, like you said that way everyone will be on an even kiel with each other.

    Side Note: Im on my way to get the game now so I'll be up for some games later tonight.

    What are the Raiders rated all around? Did you actually get the game, or is this from the strategy guide.

    As for the fantasy draft, it would take way too long to sit here and draft out 32 teams worth of players.

    Not as bad as I thought, especially after last year's bad season. I expected their offense to be in the mid-70's to tell the truth. As for their defense, I was expecting around 90. Who is the best overall team in the game, is it the Patriots?

    These are overall ratings:

    Patriots 93
    Panthers 92
    Eagles 92
    Buccaneers 90
    Ravens 89
    Vikings 90
    Raiders 89
    Chiefs 89


    That's every team rated 89 or higher.

    Im not sure about the fantasy draft. Its a very cool ideal but then we really are just picking team icons and drafting players. I think i'd rather do a regular season first then try that for the second season if people get bored with the game.

    Also imagine trying to get 30 people together for a draft that big? That would be ugly.


    ps - EBgames still has not shipped my game those f*cking bastards. I knew i shouldnt have preordered. F**K!!!!

    Here's every team that has an overall rating below 80:

    Cardinals 79
    Chargers 76
    Giants 76
    Texans 77

    Those are the bottom feeders.

    I just noticed that it shows that I'm the manager of 2 MLB teams?

    What up with that?

    Rams are an 85. Their defensive rating killed their overall rating. Offense is an 88. A lot of teams ratings are killed here by one side of the ball it seems.

    BTW the game checks for the current roster when logging into Live. Once you're in Live if you go back to the single player stuff you stay logged into Live.

    Ya my Cowboys are in that boat of one side messing up their overall rating. They are an 85 overall with a 90 on D, but the offense is only a 73, ouch.

    I hate to tell you guys this but the running game is the same. I had Eddie and Chris Brown doing multiple shoulder charges just like last season. Passing seems easier and pass D seems worse. Could be my Titans though. :D

    Can't wait for the roster update so that you no longer have Eddie George, that is if he does end up getting released as he requested yesterday.
