Revisiting PS4 vs. XBONE

I know we talked about this in detail but do you guys have any opinions based on owning these systems for a year now? Which one has more compelling titles? Which one has the best network and is it priced reasonably? And with every system launch there are a utility belt full of features that never functioned or were not actually useful. Which system is turning out to be more practical?

 

I am an avid Fifa player and 2015 will be coming out soon. It's the only console game I am attached to but I am thinking I will have to upgrade eventually if not now.

Buy it for PC if you have a rig that will run it. Mods will own the poo out of the base console version for XB1/PS4

 

As for your question: I have both, and up until I tried out Madden 15 w EA Access I hadn't touched my Xbox in months. Online differences are minimal at best now, and using the Xbox as my media center isn't something that really appeals to me. My PS4 I use multiple times a week. Not everyone is going to feel the same, but that's been my experience.

The appeal of Fifa for me is to get away from the desk and sit in front of my 46 inch TV. I have a computer that would probably run it flawlessly. I always prefer the controllers but I've heard you can sync ps3 controllers to a PC. Id probably need a 16 ft hdmi cable to connect my PC to my TV and that seems like a hassle.

 

All the streaming video features don't appeal to me unless they make a reasonably priced sports streaming app. They had Sunday Ticket a few times but the value wasn't there for an in market fan.

You can definitely use a PS3 controller on PC.  You can also use it with a bluetooth dongle if you have one (if not they're dirt cheap).  I played FIFA 13 and 14 on PC with my PS3 controller.

 

As for PS4/XB1 they are both solid for sports but I prefer the PlayStation style controller for sports games so I went with PS4.  It's also the more straight-forward device in my opinion after owning both.

HDMI cable from PC to t.v., Xbox 360/PS3 controller hooked up to FIFA with Mods on the PC. Boom done! Just can't recommend a console purchase for you (especially next gen for FIFA alone). What other type of games do you like?

I'm going xb1 once I get some cash at the end of the year. I really want the halo mcc and I prefer the controller.

Frankly, since Sony owned the narrative during the launch and me hasn't had much going for it lately I understand b why everyone has flocked to the Sony wagon.

Both are great console experiences. The power differential is kind of meaningless in the grand scheme if things. If that's super important, build a pc and Lord over all the console gamers.

It all depends on what you enjoy.

Same as last console wars, in the end you should have just taken the money you were going to spend on a console and put it towards the graphics card on your new computer. Ive had a ps4 since it came out and besides nba2k the only thing i use it for is netflix and even that I could have used my computer to watch. With the right drivers you can use whatever controller you like, xbox ps4, offbrand, it doesnt matter. Buying a gaming rig was the best decision I ever made and for 500 bucks on newegg you can do the same.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
