Hi!
So, the screenshots I can see here are from our map-project: Polish Map Mod (that probably will be official title).
More screens you can see here: http://polish-gts.pl/viewtopic.php?t=769
The head creators of this project are: Michcio (map making), ojciecmajster (3D models converting, signs-maker & placing signs on the map), me (editing game files with various data, creating new stuff, such as textures, roads :P ), but we’re supporting by some other people (thanks to them! ^^ ).
Probably we will release first edition in Q4 2010 or Q1 2011.
If you want know more about our project visit our site: http://www.polish-gts.pl (polish language, but maybe you will understand something with google translate :P ).
Regards :D

Comment on And Yet It Moves Review by Adamski UK

Art work is very reminiscent of the Charlie and Lola books and TV Show by Lauren Child – and some ofher other works.
With this and Kirby’s Epic Yarn, my swing-ometer is shifting away from Kinect to the Wii this Christmas.
I see it’s rated ‘E for Everyone’, so that’s a bonus for the kids.
Cheers for the review – sounds like a great title and excellent promotion for the independent developer.

Interesting to read all this, have been completely oblivious to everything but the £1.99 and £2.99 price points back in the day.

Comment on Rock Band 3 Setlist Released by Martyn Hackett

The mrs will be relieved “No-one Knows” has finally seen a Rock Band version.
I finally get “Been Caught Stealing”.

Personally I think the whole list says it all about Harmonix’s choices, i.e. pretty damn solid.
Can you see Guitar Hero having “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”?

That’s the real size of it, I’m tweaking the video and before it was filmed in widescreen then squashed into a smaller resolution therefore that is how it was filmed… All quite technical boring crap

@Malc

The great point that you are making is that I would of loved this to have been explained to me in the game. However, alas it isn’t. I would of loved to of made a deeper cut into Madden but it just wasn’t happening.

Also I felt when I was trying to pick the plays it still never felt I was in control. Just relying on the computer A.I to do its job.

you are right. the pocket is created by the techniques used by the defensive line they try to implement on the offensive line (all techniques (Spin, rip, shed) used by a defensive linemen work best when the offensive lineman is real close to him.

So the best way to deal with this is create a space between you and a defensive lineman. So the offensive tackles will kick step back and away from the defensive ends. So this forms the pocket you.

The pocket isnt only pass portection used. You got slide protection and the half roll schemes, plus also 1 or 2 back protection schemes bit the would all bore the piss out of you. ;)

@Malc As I understood it ‘The Pocket’ is a defensive meausure used in an offensive line to protect the quarter back.

Marconi ‘The pocket’ is the passing pocket created by the offensive line. which is normally formed as a u shape like a umberalla. So it not really a defensive thing. Best D to use on madden is the 4-3 formation using the cover 2 plays supports good run and pass defending. Really works well with teams with fast line backers.
