Blog, eh?
I always promised myself I would try new things. From eating new food as a kid, to buying games that reviewers have slated - I like to make up my own mind.
With that said, I feel duty bound to write at least one blog entry, so here I am. Sat in front of my PC - staring at a blank box. Ok, so not strictly true, as I have typed 71 words to get here.....
So, having not done one of these before, I guess I should give myself some structure. I am just going to post my personal views on the current hot topics. This will more than likely involve Manchester United being over-rated, Quitters and the like - but to start I cannot help but notice that there may be an update on the way??
The Frenzy surrounding the update is laughable. The game was completed for release in October '08. The fact that EA even OFFER a free update after the window closes is enough for me. The fact that it has been delayed due to a bug, for me, is a good thing. It shows good "practice" in test and fix before a deployment - I would much rather wait a week or so, than have the in-game squads crippled by an update. Maybe its my age, but Even if the winter squad update takes another 2 weeks, won't that be acceptable? I think it is.
Manual: The way forward.
Only point of interest is that I am now fully manual in all, including online ranked and sticking with my adopted team, PSV. I equate the learning process to my struggle to move to manual gear changes on Forza motorsport. I mentally decided that I would write off any results in the learning process. I refused to get annoyed if I lost, of which there were many losses
.
Last night I think I turned a corner, I started an online ranked game and after 20 minutes had to pause - I was sure the settings were back to assisted, but to my delight, I was still manual on all settings. It seems I have gone "over-the-top" with regards to the bulk of the learning, so now onto honing my skills - I still suffer too many shots going wide....
For Blog 1, they think its all over....
......it is now
