BTW...that game looks bomb as fug, just preordered.

Looks a little Dynasty Warriors-esque.  Could be fun though.  I'm curious to know more how the battles work, I haven't been super on top of this game.  Though watching Pro Athletes go to town and talk poo to each other over a video game is always good =)

The game has different modes of play but here is one example:

I have about 10 hours into the game.  So far I love it.  I'm actually a little surprised at the depth of the fighting system.  On the surface it seems like it would be fairly simple.  There are only a few combos for each character but each character has it's own strengths and weaknesses which make it far more complex, especially when you add in feints, parries, stuns, chains, etc.

Is it worth the $60? The beta had me interested. 

I don't regret buying it.  It does have issues though, the most glaring would be the netcode.  For whatever reason Ubisoft decided to use P2P instead of dedicated servers.  Some people, including myself have had issues with the matchmaking.  When that happens I still have fun playing the campaign or just playing against the bots.  The gameplay itself is fantastic IMO.  Deepest fighting game I've played since Soul Caliber, and it really doesn't look that deep when you see the list of moves for each character, but it is.  This isn't a button mashing fighting game where you could just randomly pound away at your controller and expect to win...unless maybe the other guy is doing the same thing.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
