I think it may by PS3 version only, but after scoring, the player drops the ball, walks away, and the camera stays locked on the ball. Sometimes pushing X doesn't even roll over the screen and the clock just runs down until you get a delay of game.

Must be a PS3 issue. I haven't experienced anything like that.

Seems like they are bringing back being able draft guys from NCAA in the new madden. That is awesome because that was always my favorite part of madden; pretending to be a GM.

The new NCAA is pretty good, except when the running back lays on top of a tackler in a very strange position for what feels like 5 seconds then just gets up and runs for a touchdown. Besides that they definetaly improved from what they had last year.

Im just wondering what took them so long to finally make playing the computer a challenge. QBs actually make good decisions. Though all the throwing the ball away gets old. Still, thumbs up, I'm actually really looking forward to Madden now.

So there's this little game out today called Grand Theft Auto V, not sure if anyone has heard of it.

I just got it this morning, haven't had a chance to play it yet. Probably should have taken the day off. It's killing me.

Im hoping its good. I might trade in madden for it. It has received great reviews so far.

Make sure you have plenty of room on your hard drive. Disc 1 is a 8 gb install.

I may get it this afternoon.

Do you have to install it to play it?

Why You Shouldn't Install the GTA5 "Play Disc" on...

[MTK]

People are saying to install disc 2 to a usb thumb drive

There are reports that R* doesn't want people to do the 8gb install for the 360, apparently it's messing things up. I'm not sure what it is since I'm on PS3 but just check the internet before you do it.

Edit: I typed this post like 1/2 hr ago, just got around to hitting submit. You guys are on top of it.

I went to the midnight release last night and picked up my copy, and played it for an hour this morning before I went to bed. It's legit. The whole city feels alive in a way that IV wasn't. Sooooooo many cars, and car customization is back, along with weapon customization. So much variety in things to do, there's no way this isn't head and shoulders above IV. R* definitely did it right this time.

5 years in the making and a budget of $260M, it better be legit LOL

Seriously though Rockstar always knocks it out of the park.

Makes you wonder if they dragged out PS4 and Xbox 1 releases just because of this game.

It's a big day.

Can I download it directly from Xbox live like I did with SR4?

Maybe in a few weeks.

It's going to be a massive download might as well buy the discs IMO.
