Wasn't impressed , probably just delete it from my PC the handling is terrible for a sim.Graphics are ok but the tires look fake when you peel out and the audio effects are weak .Hate all the penalties ,reminds me of Dirt 2 allot except without the fun,glad i didn't buy it myself .Still waiting for Gran Turismo ...
I love Madden but am very disappointed again. 2 fixes only =receivers try to stay inbounds finally . and it's much easier to get a sack now with the new upper body controll. Special teams don't block at all it's comical. tackling a good running back is impossible almost on the first hit-even with a MLB 99 rating which is laughable No franchise fixes at all ! very unhappy with this because online play has become full of exploiters and cheaters which took all the fun out of the game for me.you all no the guy who runs the same 2 plays 50 times and that can't stop no matter what .very annoying 7.5 would be my vote seems like EA keeps taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back OH and i actually played football 4 years in highschool ,offfens and defense and it is possible to tackle a running back and block on special teams EA.
I like LIAN-LI very well made ,brushed Aluminum no cheap plastic at all and the fan filters keep it clean inside which is a must for me.I got mine for 70.00 after 30.00 rebate.
Remember your power supply is very important don't buy a cheap one ,corsair and PC power & cooling make good ones..ATX is what you want ,remember if you plan on sli you need more power 750Watt's is usually plenty of power.OCZ is pretty good too. I strongly recommend a better graphics card especially with a 24" monitor unless you don't mind playing games at lower settings.,you are building a gaming rig right ? 150.00 should buy you a decent card on sale. DirectX 11.0 card would be the way to go.Nvidia and ATI both make good cards ,remember SLI is for Nvidia and crossfire boards are for ATI cards only. you should be abled to find a better monitor cheaper than that and remember built in speakers usually always are very cheap sounding. Airflow is key when buying a case , extra fans a pull out motherboard and moveable hard drive bays are good features too have.I don't recommend a plastic case. OC'ing is quite easy if you have proper cooling and a good motherboard will really unlock your processors capability ,unlockable multipliers are nice too.After market heatsink is strongly recommended ,opened box items are cheap and the way to go . 4GB of RAM at least ,2GB will slow your performance on some games especially newer ones. Make sure you only buy RAM that is tested and recommended for your motherboard ! very important!!! dont go with what someone says will work make sure it's officialy on the list.
