Why does everything have to turn into system shit? This place is becoming as bad as fucking IGN and other gaming sites with the 360/PS3 "this is better, you should get that" shit.

And it's nothing against you personally ryby, it's just that it seems I can't go a single week without someone sitting there telling me "get a PS3", "you should go buy a PS3", etc. It's getting to the point that it's annoying the hell out of me. If I was going to buy a PS3, I would have done so already. It's only a matter of a couple years before the PS4 inevitably comes out, there's no sound financial reasoning for me to buy a PS3 now.

Only way I would do so would be if I could get a PS3 for an absolute MAXIMUM price of $150. Anything more than that, for me personally, would be a waste of money, especially since, besides you guys on here, there are only something like 5 of my actual friends in everyday life who have a PS3. 99% of my friends all have 360s, so only reason for me to even consider buying a PS3 would be for sports games for stuff like ODs (which I pretty much don't have any care for) and PS3 exclusive games. Beyond that, I would still be buying every single game for 360.

As for ODs, ODs are going to be plagued with cheesers regardless of systems, systems don't mean a thing. And there are quite a few legit ODs on 360 on here as well for the sake of argument.

My issues against ODs are:

1: Dealing with scheduling. Just look at the FIFA 12 season/tournament thing Steeler and the rest have going, and what difficulties in the schedules of two people not working out can fuck up.

2. Related to scheduling, I can play whenever I want. If I'm dealing with insomnia and I'm awake at 3 in the morning, I can jump on and play a game in my dynasty right then instead of having to wait until 7pm or 9pm or 10pm or whenever that evening for my opponent to get home from work and get online so we can play together.

3: Dealing with time constraints. You have 24 hours or 48 hours or whatever to get your game in or else (your game gets simmed, you get kicked out, whatever), so I better not have any big or time consuming projects or events come up at work.

4: Dealing with connections. Some people might not have the greatest internet connections, and then you have to deal with the hassle of just freaking connecting to each other like myself and someone else found out in the NBA 2K12 Online Association and not being able to connect to each other no matter what we did.

5: Dealing with different skill levels. The best you can do in an OD is try to find a "common ground" with the sliders, so nobody is going to be "truly happy" with the end sliders because they will all think this or that could be changed or tweaked depending on their own skill levels, whereas in offline dynasty, I can set the sliders SPECIFICALLY to what my skill levels are and tweak them as many times as I want from week to week, season to season to make the dynasty and games easier or harder.

There are probably other reasons, but there are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head at this moment in time. So I'll stick with offline dynasty/franchise.
