1080 Avalanche is a very refreshing game that just isn't perfect. It is VERY satisfying to race downhill, find shortcuts, make air and pump out some tricks... then knock over you opponent and finish. The avalanches are really exciting, pretty revolutionary!
SSX expands on the gameplay of the last games. EA is afraid to innovate too much, they stick with the concept that works.

Of course not saying that 1080 is better than SSX3.

Myth and Myth II were pretty innovative games. Just because it wasn't WarCraft, AoE or Dune, it didn't get the attention it deserved.

Canyarion, SSX3 is a huge change over SSX Tricky... I guess you haven't played them much if you can see the huge differences.

Now, SSX tricky is an example of NO evolution. I think it had all the same tracks of the original SSX.

What are you trying to say? EA changes too much or too little? In the sports genre, EA has evolved much more over the last few years than it's competitor (Sega )... heck, as a developer in general EAhas probably made the biggest jump forward to this generation from last generation.

Fifa is all the same... now they have off-the-ball-control... But I wonder how much you can innovate with sport games.

Actually I haven't played any SSX game . Yet, cause I wanna buy SSX3 when it's cheaper.
The combo of 1080A and SSX3 would be AWESOME.

Exactly. You're learning fast!

hehe see? I'm sure you prefer EA's hockey titles to sega's.. but a hardcore gamer knows that Sega's hockey is much better than EA's.

Did I say EA's Hockey game is better? lol

And I doubt I could be classified as a casual gamer... seeing that I have almost 10,000 posts at this forum, and have purchased over 50 games this generation for all three consoles... and have a subscription to IGN insider Game Informer, and EGM... and over 1,000 posts at Gamefaqs... plus I worked at a game store and have a membership there where I get 10% off of used games... I doubt a casual gamer would go that far for information on games (am I wrong?)

I haven't even had a chance to play the hockey games this year, and all I know for sure is that Sega's has better graphics.... and I can't that be my judge because if I went off of graphics alone, ESPN games would be better than Madden, NCAA Football, NBA Live, and NCAA March Madness... and this is not the case. At least not in my opinion (and these games I have played).

I simply thought MP was a crappy game, and I played GTA enough to beat WW 3 times over.... I purchased all three, so I think I have the right to my opinion. (Even though I got MP for free with my 2nd GCN, and I took it back within a week because it was so crappy)

So I guess me liking EA sports over sega sports, and the fact that GTA is one of my favorite games of all time makes me a casual gamer, and the fact that you love MP and like WW more than GTA... and you like ESPN NHL more than NHL 2004 makes you hardcore... give me a break.

True Dat.

Heh. Yeah, I saw you were replying to the topic and decided to see what it was all about. Then I stumbled upon his post and just knew what was coming

I smell a new rivalry cooking.

With unpolished I'm thinking 'not-ready' graphics and small things that start to annoy you, like some detailed movement that doesn't work as it should..

It also depends on what kind of game it is for you. I bought Soul Calibur 2, because I don't really like fighters. So I don't need the newest stuff. A good polished fighter is better for me.
