I have not, and you know my wife actually has a pair from when she was pregnant. I need to see if I can locate them and give them a try. Thanks for the idea.
I don't have anything good to add to the thread other than brag that I won a $2,000 gift card to the Galleria at my Christmas party this year.. The woman is already hitting me up for some shoes..
No, it's not PS3-specific, it's just that the PS3 got the patch way before the 360 version for some reason. The 360 version should supposedly be out by the middle of this week. It's more than just bug fixes, they also re-tooled and tweaked lots of things to make it a better overall experience, and man did they succeed. I liked it plenty before, now I REALLY love it. Here's the list of stuff they did: OTFC (On The Fly Coaching) Duping – There was an issue in the game where multiple players could be set to guard a single player simultaneously. We have isolated the cause of this and rectified the problem. DPC and Offball (Online) – We inadvertently shipped the game with the DPC and Offball Control features disabled for online games. These features functioned properly in the offline version of the game. For this patch, they have been enabled for use in online. Online Free Throw Issue – There was an online issue where the first free throw would essentially drop out of the sky (due to framerate issues) and the user would always miss it. This issue has been addressed. Layup Strips – We have tuned layup strips to happen at a more frequent rate. They weren’t firing off as much as we wanted. Layup % - Based on consumer feedback, users should notice an increase in the percentage of layup / close to the basket shots made. We felt that solid players were missing too many “gimmies”. Layup Holes – There were some layup holes which would cause players to shoot jumpshots into the bottom of the rim right underneath the basket. These holes have been identified and fixed. Layup Removal – The 360 circus layup was removed from the game. Consumers felt strongly that this layup didn’t fit the scope of our gameplay. Mirrored Plays – We now mirror plays in appropriate situations to minimize crossing. This removes a lot of clutter that was occurring during the setup of plays. Up-and-Under – The up-and-under mechanic shipped with the game did not work as intended. It should now be functioning properly. Fadeaway Shot Fix – We identified and fixed the issue where players would shoot unwanted fadeaways after catching the ball on occasion. Hop Step Cheese – The Hop Step was identified as a huge “cheese” exploit by our online consumers. Players will now lose the ball on occasion if they attempt to exploit this move. Pump Fake Breakout – We now allow the ballhandler to exit the pump fake animation early to improve their ability to drive around the faked out defender. Lock-On D – Changes to the mechanic were made in an effort to fix odd defender movements. Big men should be less effective as well when using this feature. Defensive Player Reaction – Player reactions on defense have been minimized in an effort to mimic more realistic behaviors. Spinout/UB Dunk Exploits – Fixes were implemented for the Post Spinout and UB (Under Basket) Dunking exploits that were identified by our consumers. 3 In The Key – Our ‘3 In The Key’ violation timer has been adjusted to be a little less forgiving. Keep your guys moving! Queued Passes – There was a bug where queued passes would fail when certain isomotion moves were executed. The animations in question have been addressed such that the passes work properly. Double Team Exploit – Changes were implemented to prevent users from exploiting double teams. They should no longer be the strategy of choice for online players. Shoe Editing Issue – Shoe colors should no longer change when a player is edited. The patch will not revert any previously changed shoe colors, it will only prevent it from happening again in the future. Intentional Fouls – There was an issue in the game where when you complete a game in NBA Blacktop mode, the feature would autosave and essentially autosave the street settings. When you attempted to play in a quick game, Intentional Fouls would not be called even though the violation was being committed. We have identified and corrected the issue. Standing Dunk – Users were unable to edit/change the Standing Dunk attribute. It was viewable in the roster menus, but unable to be changed via Edit Player. This attribute has been added to the list of editable attributes. Lobby Pings – There was an issue where if a lot of people are in a lobby, lobby pings would be reported inaccurately. This issue has been addressed. Replay Cursor Toggle – The replay cursor can now be toggled on/off in replay by pressing the LB+RB (360) triggers simultaneously. This is just a little bonus for you guys creating videos via replay mode.
OMG I stopped playing online because of this EXACT issue. When the hell are they gonna bring the patch to the 360!!!!!!
Assassin's Creed is pretty much the next-gen Prince of Persia for now. The same team that worked on PoP: The Sands of Time is responsible for Assassin's Creed. That would be Ubisoft Montreal. There were leaks that they were working on a next-gen PoP game, but some people seem to think that game became Assassin's Creed. We don't know for sure about a PoP sequel, but you can bet on an Assassin's Creed sequel, as that game is supposed to end in a cliffhanger, and has been selling very very well.
So yesterday I got ready to go pick up a few games, only for my wife to tell me not to buy anything yet because she told several family members about it and I am getting some for Christmas presents. So now I have no idea which ones I am getting, but I had to have something to play besides Motorstorm (which came with it), while I wait for the demos to download. So walking around Best Buy I decided to pick up a game I could play with my kids. They were kind of picked over, so at my son's request I settled on getting LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga. I haven't played it yet but it seemed to get some good reviews. I got it on sale and with a coupon so I paid $30 for it. So I guess I'll have to throw it in this evening to see if it is any good.
Well I have some bad news. My PS3 I bought in Sep. Stopped working on Friday. The CD ROM will not read anything. The hard drive still works and I can download games and play still. I ended up calling Sony and they are mailing me a new Console. Has anybody heard of this before. I had the 60 gig version.
Im thinking about getting one. I have a ps2 and my kids have a Wii that I play from time to time but recently I've been thinking about getting a PS3 for the blue ray player and some of the games. I bought Rockband for the PS3 even though I don't have one yet figuring I'll just sell it if I don't buy one for christmas.
