Stopped by BB to pickup a modem for my Dad and wandered over where the console games were being displayed. Much to my amazement Fever was on playable display. I reset the game and changed some the settings. Example 15qtrs All-Pro level slow game pace sideline camera etc, etc. I have never owned a console system much less played one . But afer waiting 4 years for EA to quit putting out polished turds for football games I figured that MS could do what EA doesn't care about doing. Since the implosion of the FB Pro series it looks like MS is almost there. The game looks almost identical to the PC version. Game play was very realistic. It seemed that the motion on the field was just a tad slow. I played the qtr in what you would call "Coach" mode. Call the play and watch the action. I want to be able to out think the computer. I always will care more about gameplay, stats, and being realistic. But the half hour I stood there and played convinced me that X-Box NFL Fever '02 will be the best football sim on the market.
If you have any questions about the gameplay I will be more than happy to reply to them. I am 44 years old and at 8:30am I WILL BE FIRST IN LINE AT EB AT THE LAKELAND SQUARE MALL TO PICK MY SYSTEM UP. I have already told my wife that i will be glued to the controller for the rest of the day. My days of having to make do with EA's polished TURD (Madden whatever) are long gone. Long live FEVER!!!!!!!!!
