4 months ago NBA 2K12 review
So because you don't get on with a genre it must always fall within your low score system otherwise it's a paid for review? You're more blinkered than a race horse.

I'm not a massive NBA fan but 2K12 is excellent. Personally I don't think I'd have given it a 10 but the gameplay coupled with the brilliant presentation and fan service is unparalleled in sports games so I can see why it's been hitting the big scores.

Also, could you point me in the direction of these folk that are paying for reviews? In eight years of working on magazines and websites I've not once been offered cash and I could seriously do with some extra coins.

I've played mostly multiplayer (online and offline) since the review stage but if the patch has been made to fix the semi-pro/pro difficulty settings then I'll go back and take a look. Thanks for the tip-off.

4 months, 2 weeks ago FIFA 12 review
@rickrossthaboss Hello. Firstly, I played the game loads. Offline, online and in single player. I do that with every game that I review to make sure that I'm not missing out on anything. Secondly, I mention that the defensive system is necessary to keep the FIFA series moving forward. This is a good thing. It's not game breaking but it's simply not as instantly satisfying as it has been in past games and casual fans will struggle initially. Even you admit you need patience with it.

Lastly, I didn't say FIFA 11 is a better game. You've looked at the score and made that assumption yourself. If we had to keep giving sequels a bigger score because of incremental tweaks for the better then we'd have to stretch our scoring system beyond 10.

My main gripe is with the solo game and the AI making for a frustrating experience. If you stuck with it and worked out the defensive system, then well done to you, but not everyone will have the patience to do so.

I can remember the weird little yellow thing that was put into Megadrive/Genesis cartridges, and I'm pretty sure Star Control had one. Good memory work, sir.

@stephenrobinson

Hello. Thanks for the formative feedback.

This episode, and the 97 before it, are built around games chatter and taking the p*ss out of each other for the listener's pleasure. Both things you mention were improvised so as to raise a smile while listening to our inane babble, and were not meant to be taken literally. I see in your case, we failed, and for that we apologise.

Again, thanks for the constructive criticism.

Yours,

The Total Fuckwits

Meiks decided to head back to the Highlands to pursue a career in the freelance game. Essentially, it's what he was doing here at GR Towers except now he doesn't have to wear trousers to work.

Thanks for the tip-off. I've uploaded all my saves to the PSN+ cloud area to prevent potential heartache. It's one of the 40Gb fat boys. If it's started sounding like a jet engine about to take off, am I about to be faced with the yellow light of doom too?
7 months, 1 week ago FIFA 12: Retirements, transfers and how Xavi may be more important than Messi to Barcelona
Coincidentally, a few of the team used to work on Football Manager or Championship Manager - I can't remember - so expect a bit more sim-like input as the series progresses.

In fact, I asked David Rutter how he would feel about a union between FM and FIFA and he said it would be an amazing opportunity but the management stuff may marginalise the current, core FIFA fan base. Personally, I think it'd be amazing.
