TTW gaming thread

One of those rare times you hook up with some ballers who feed you. Of course, I'm naturally unselfish in team sports because we are supposed to be a team. But it started badly, missed my first 2 shots and thought I'd get iced out. Luckily, with 2 seconds left in the quarter, my guy found me, and I made the buzzer beater to put us up 24-22.

That inspired some confidence, and then I was getting the ball regularly. I'm just a bit disappointed because this was so close to my first-ever double-double online. But I made a great steal that led straight to a basket, and I wanted to finish the play in style instead of passing to my guy out wide. Damn it. The stealing took me by surprise because I'm not particularly good at it. I'm not sure if 2k have made gameplay tweaks, because the game pretty much updates with some change every day. I average less than 1 a game.

It was funny because we got stuck with an AI, and it was too late to back out before the game. Yeah, his opponent took advantage of it, but our AI still made some shots, and he was stealing too. :D All very amusing. My opponent is a 20+ ppg guy. I didn't pocket him or anything, but I made things difficult.

Do I have permission to add you on PSN?
 
Oh wow, your video game heritage more impressive than mine. :D I've changed accounts pretty much any time I've changed systems. Would have been fun to know my top spin 4 stats; I know they would be much better than top spin 24.

I have the platinum trophy for all 3 versions of Skyrim. Statpadding to the max.
 
Playing NFS Unbound and Jesus Christ is the soundtrack awful. Maybe I’m just old. The PS2 need for speed games had such good music.
 
@NachoGPT

Do you still play Undisputed? I noticed you have it on your game list. I haven't played online before mainly because I'm a bum and I don't like the system to get up. After one knockdown, I'm useless, but I will give you a game if you play.

I might complain about 2k a lot, but the soundtrack is one thing I won't complain about. It's great, they've got tunes on it from earlier NBA 2k games and stuff. The Weeknd is there too; he completes the NBA 2k and Top Spin soundtrack challenge since he's on both.
 
I was a big fan of fight night champion and was hoping it would be like that. Tried it for a few hours and didn’t like it very much.
Yeah, what a shame. I played a game against the computer last night, just in case I had to go back and play you, but I think it sucks as much as ever, even with the big update I had to download before it started.
 
Fight Night Champion is one of the best games ever made. Your boy was rank #1 on Xbox 360. @Poisoned Slice and I love Isaac Frost.

That's beautiful.

I have the Undisputed game on now just because I'm suddenly in the mood for boxing. To be fair, I think it's quite tough on the undisputed game mode; you really have to be patient, but it just sucks overall.

Glad I didn't get sucked into buying Pacquiao. Yeah, you bloody have to buy the best fighter or the most exciting fighter. Whatever you want to call him. It's Manny freakin Pacquiao. The world is a joke. Sorry, I lost the plot there for a second again.

But damn, then I just think of using counterattacking Whitaker vs Hearns on fight night. Just can't compare.
 
I'd say it would probably be 2 hours at most, but it wouldn't be per day.
I would indulge myself or reward myself with some entertainment only after a very productive day. I do try to watch a movie almost every night so that’s 2 hours of entertainment per day for me.
 
We all need something to distract us from the brutal realty of life. lol
That’s what an addict would say. Seriously, there’s nothing wrong with playing video games as long as you have taken care of your main priorities. Then you can reward yourself with some dopamine; otherwise it’s just some cheap thrills.
 
Never been a basketball guy. Closest thing to a basketball game I’ve been into was Wii sports resort and Mario sports mix. lol

I like the bowling.

Usually play it at Christmas, although last year we decided to play the ‘extreme’ version where there are obstacles. Some of them appear out of nowhere after you’ve bowled the ball. Definitely not a game you want to go first at!
