Sorry, I didn't notice the crowd much. I did notice that there are females in the crowds this year which was missing in 2004.

Mario looks like he's a heavy drinker with the red nose, cheeks and forehead.
They need playoff beards for long runs, now that would be cool

Some stores should have it today... Southcentre EB games told me they expect it around 2:30-3pm. Thankfully I have it preordered there.

I called every EB Games this morning and the only two who were expecting it today were Southcentre and Westbrook. I just called both of them and they're saying tomorrow now. Do you think there's any point in trying places like Future Shop?

I was in future shop today and they have a deal going on once 2k5 gets there (tomorrow hopefully). The game is $29.99 but if you get it, you get a free NHL CD wallet (they have a price tag of $19.99 on them). Not too shabby!
Thought I should let anyone who's interested know...

Jordon - would you happen to know if EA is going to support 480p / 720p or 1080i HDTV resolutions? (on Xbox) Would seem to be a waste of all of this graphic prowess if your TV is stuck at regular resolutions.
|
For those that want the best video quality, check your cable connections:
Standard RF cable (co-ax) is worst, composite video (one yellow connector for video) is a bit better, S-Video next best and component video is the best of all. A 480 resolution is available from the component video connections for Xbox and PS2 I believe.
Found a description of all four below:
Cable Differences
The RF adapter compresses all your picture and sound data onto one cable, and that format must match the NTSC broadcast standard that all analog TVs use. You get about 6MHz of bandwidth to fit both the audio and video signal into, which isn't all that bad for 1953.
Composite video separates the audio channels from the video channels, allowing better fidelity for both audio and video.
S-Video is a step above composite video. The video signal is split into into a luminance signal called Y, and a chrominance signal called C. Luminance is how bright the image is, so if you had just the Y information, you'd have black and white TV. In fact, in the US the original black and white TVs used just the Y signal, and there was enough room left over to pack the C signal in when color television came out.
The C signal is specially encoded so that the blue and red signals can be subtracted from the Y signal. When the TV subtracts the two components of the C signal from the Y signal, giving your red, green and blue, the colors that make up the TV signal.
Component video cables separate the C signal into two separate signals, the blue signal minus Y, and the red signal minus Y. This gives you even more room to send color information. Combined, you have much more bandwidth to send picture information. Enough to drive your TV at HDTV resolutions!

That isn't the default game speed, is it? It's like watching a game in fast forward! I haven't played an EA game since 2003, but if that video is an accurate indication of how the game is going to play, I feel all the more vindicated for buying ESPN this year and last.

Yes it was the default... but I agree it was too fast for my liking.
But that's what settings are for.
