Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted May 18 The return of EA Sports CFB game is receiving coverage equivalent to alien spacecraft visiting Earth; the curing of cancer; and Oregon winning the CFB and CBB titles in the same season (without having to share the booty with the Pac-2.) We used to go outside to play football. Now the big deal is to stay inside and play a game. Inquiring Greybeard minds, at least what's left of the mind, want to know why THIS is such a huge deal. Pardon me. I have to take a nap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon me. I have to take a nap. - naps are good! Much like an alien abduction, we had an annual release of a very popular video game that millions of people played for 20 years, suddenly disappear 10 years ago. Now it’s back, with a lot better technology to play with. FYI, the gaming company Electronic Arts, which owns EA Sports (Madden, NCAA, FIFA, UFC, PGA Tour, etc.) reported a net revenue of $7.5 Billion in FY24.

Pardon me. I have to take a nap. Video games are fun. Personally I haven't played a sport video game since middle school but I enjoyed them back then. You get to play as your favorite team with your favorite players and play out a bunch of what ifs. Now I tend to play strategy games when I have the chance to play. I've personally enjoyed playing Europa Universalalis IV as it lets me play out a bunch of historical scenarios and just have a good time. Granted even then I don't have time for a grand strat game so I usually just play StarCraft 2 which is significantly shorter play time. What's incredible is the ever growing esports communities and competitions. It sounds ridiculous that there are professional videos gamers but in truth is it really any different than professional chess players or athletes? They all play the games at a way higher level and faster than any of the common folk. I don't expect older generations to understand but it's growing in popularity. For many having a college football game is super exciting.. Personally, I'm not interested but this will also be a recruiting tool down the road. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
