DEALS:

Looks like Circuit City will give a $10 rebate card with Fever this week and ESPN next week. Not sure about Best Buy yet...

I may have to go with Fever

Any opinions on FEVER 04 yet?

I'll let you know as soon as I get through a game. My disc keeps freezing up on me so I'm going to exchange it today. It's definitely different than last year. I'm trying to get use to the new passing system which actually makes it a lot better I think being able to have more control of the type of pass. Again, seems to be unrealistic that I can pull off the same long pass on each possesion and score a touch down. I haven't played 2003 in a while but I kind of feel like players movements are a step back. Seems like they are moving slower and movements look unrealistic. Visually the game looks great but I think it is slightly darker than last year and there is a slight blur affect now on the replays. I'm sure someone will chime in and say how wrong I am. :)

Another Bump since ESPN NFL Fever is released today. Where is the best place/price to get it this week? (Do Circuit City and Best Buy release games late in the week???)

Thanks....reviews appreciated

I've had fever for couple of days now, and here's my take.

I played a ton of fever03 last year, and this game is quite a bit better. There's now quick defensive adjustments that can be done at the line. The ReadnLead is very addictive, at least for me(no more one button passing). I'm still having trouble with it, but I am starting to get better.

So far the XSNsports.com is not the end all be all of online gaming, but it is pretty nice. I've yet to play in a tournement that has a full league. The DB's are a ton better this year, and there's a ton of stuff you can do with them. In all the games that I've played I have yet to see anyone successfully get a long bomb without me screwing up (taking control of the defensive player and moving them myself.) All together I feel that fever is a hugh improvent over the last version. I give it a B+.

I decided to pick it up because the xsn sports website sounds so cool. So far I'm very impressed, it plays excellent and the read and lead passing is awesome, it gives you so much control. I can poost more details later, but if you are thinking about getting it, i would or at least rent it, i think some of the professional reviews are too hard, this game is amazing for its third year.

Hey shaggy, what's your gamertag?
Are you Shaggy 16?

yes I'm shaggy 16 , I think you are in one of my leagues.

So your Green Bay.... Looks like your second game was a nail bitter. :) Good luck.

Thanks, you too. I lost by missing an extra point, i shouldn't press the buttons so fast :)
