It's only the second year for MS making sports games. How long has Madden been out? 14 years and still not perfect (or Live enabled). EA's NHL 2K series is far from perfect and how long has that series been out? MS has done alot in two years. Give it a chance. Fever upped the graphics ante and implemented DPP.

i thought microsoft had been making sports game for longer... I remember a Fever a few years before xbox came out. And I'm sure that MS came out with other ones...

the microsoft games suck because they all try to be arcade & simulation sports games. People either buy simulation games or arcade games. Why would I want Fever when I can get Blitz? Or... Why would I want Fever if I could get NFL 2k3? And this goes with all the other games. Inside Drive... Rivals will be the same too. If you're going to be extreme... be all out extreme. If you want to capture realism, make sure you keep out the extreme stuff.

EDIT:
well... it appears that Microsoft started making 3d sports games in 2000. Fever 2000, Inside Drive 2000, baseball 2000, and International Soccer 2000. So Microsoft started their football franchise the same time both Sega and EA did. Before 2000, all football games were 2-D.

i agree with dz, the best bball game is nba2k3, but as far as football games, MADDEN takes the cake....

if that game went LIVE, xbox would sell more consoles/xbl starter kits

but its just a matter of preference, some people like $hitty games, thats all:watchout:

What kind of drugs have you been doing?
Nintendo 64
Sony Playstation
Do those two systems ring a bell? Were they out before 2000? Did they have 3d football games? Oh and remember how sports games are released a year previous to the season stated on the game? IE: 2000 comes out in 1999.
Nintendo 64 3d Football games before 2000:

well, the only aspect of this thread that i agree with is that microsoft's fever series doesn't stand a chance against segas 2k series....but you have to give microsoft credit for trying...give them time, we'll see how it works out in the end...

also, props to microsoft for starting XSN...see u online fellas!:D

I think MS is doing an amazing job since it's only been their second year in the business. They are still not up to par with Sega, but then again Sega has had a lot more games, and experience. I think you need to some thinking Trojan.

Microsoft has been making sports games for a few years now on the PC as has been said. They havent done diddly crap in making a good sports game other then making them look good. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm because XSN looks great. I realy hope Rivals kicks ass too. But for now I'll rent any MS before even considering buy it cause they are crap.

NHL 2k3 was sweet and still is. Best Hockey game ever made especially with the online play.

am i the only one that didn't enjoy nfl 2k3? I played it for like 3 hours at a friends house, and it was really boring. I didn't really like the way it played, it felt too stiff. I like the freedom of the fever series.

canadianboi3
06-13-2003, 09:21 PM
Personally, I think Fever is too stiff. I think the controls are much looser for 2K3. Everybody has their own preferences though.

Umm. GUYS WAKE UP!

XSN will also include:

PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 2 (Umm. one of the few AAA racing titles out there)

TOP SPIN TENNIS (got RAVE REVIEWS at E3)

LINKS: GOLF (Yeah, the best golf sim ever created)

AMPED 2 (Yes, the best snowboarding game ever made)


Oh and FEVER 2004, NBA ID 2004, NHL RIVALS 2004..........

Yeah, I like how MS does their sports games and the XSN SPORTS LINE-UP LOOKS KICKASS!!!

That is sweet, I can't wait to play Amped 2, PG2, and Top Spin, on Xbox Live. Amped 2 is going to be SWEET with rankings, and tournaments and stuff. I can't wait! Top spin does look like an awesome game, but are the tennis players going to be real? i hope so.

its just you buddy. i love all the fever games. i did not like nfl 2k3 or madden. i dont like those slow tempo games. fever is realistic enough for me. everyone has their different opinions of styles of games. so goodbye. see you online xsn :cheers:

Yeah, it's just you. They have games like NHL Hitz and NBA Street that I like to play because I don't like playing realistic games.

I use to be a madden fan and didnt like 2k3 either. But i eventually gave 2k3 the time it deserved and it is awesome.

Fever is just a piece of s4it stuck in my butt hair. And i cant push it out.... :cuss:

I thoght I saw a curly one sticking out of the Fever 2003 case.

Madden has Madden commentary (& no Live) which is awful and Sega's NFL 2K3 the carema angles suck. The players look more alien than my ex-wife. Fever is arcady but I like that.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. Visual concepts came right out of the gates with a spectacular football game on Dreamcast. Early means nothing. SEGA rulez and always will in the sports category. Madden is rehash after rehash. SEGA improves every year and Fever is ok, but they need real announcers as NFL2k4 does(or shall I say ESPN NFL football now). I absolutely hate Kevin Calabro. Bring back **** Stocton and make his voice better. Don't loop him to death. SEGA please, use REAL announcers . I'm sick of Dan Stevens and Peter O'keife. That other guy who does Sunday night games would be great. That guy who did the Quarterback Club games. oooooh yyyaaa baby!!! And by the way, NHL 2K3 is nominated in the top five games of the year along with Madden , 2k3 animal crossing splinter cell and others but I forget which.
