  1. I have been reviewing games for GMGames for a decade now. And only once have I said, I canโ€™t do this.

    That was with Draft Day Sports: College Football.

    I donโ€™t remember what version it was. However, I could not do it.

    Now, I tried. I tried to play the hell out of that game. However, that game was the most difficult, frustrating experience of my life. I had no idea what I was doing, what I was even attempting to do, nor how to get anywhere within the game.

    After a month of starting and stopping, I told Chris Valius (the head of GMGames) and Gary Gorski (the head of Wolverine Studios) that I needed to pull away from the project. I am not someone who quits; when I say Iโ€™m going to do something, I do it. The frustration I have over not completing that piece still bothers me to this day. However, I could not write something that would have benefited anyone.

    I admit that because, after I finished my review of the Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 22, I told Chris that I would review Draft Day Sports: Pro Football 22. Chris is an optimistic person; heck, he might not even remember that I pulled out of the college football review.ย 

    But I do. (I just told you about it.)

    This review is part journalism, part personal challenge. I was one of the original crew around the first game Brooks Piggott, the developer of Draft Day Sportsโ€™ football series, created. I have always believed in Brooksโ€™ vision. But, I got lost along the way.

    I wanted to see what Brooks and the Wolverine team have done since I tapped out; would they get me back into the fold? Is there now a football game worthy enough of the sim communityโ€™s time?

    I can tell you this: this is a complete review. (Iโ€™m writing this part last.) And, overall Iโ€™m pleased with the experience Iโ€™ve had. I think, if youโ€™re interested in a football game that is becoming a more immersive experience, you should read on. And get on board.

    Here, courtesy of the Wolverine website, are some of the new features for this yearโ€™s version.

    Hello Friends,

    I am having an issue with Discord on my computer. When I try to open it from my computer Discord is not opening there. I checked the internet connection, it was fine. Then I don't understand why is this happening. Can anyone suggest what could be the reason behind this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll likely need to contact the company or their support and they will troubleshoot for youย 


  3. I have a problem.

    (Okay, I have a lot of problems. This is just about the one Iโ€™m telling you about.)

    I have a problem with my Boston Irish roster. We have the leagueโ€™s defending MVP in C David Banta (35.8/12/1/6.3). We have another player, guard Andre Askew, who made All-League 2nd Team. As we head into the offseason, both are under contract for at least another year.

    Thatโ€™s the good news. Sort of. More on that in a second.

    The bad news is all the rest. We have a 38-year-old guard, Austin Yearwood, who performed well last year (15.8/5.0/7.6). But the 16-year vet makes over $28m, and I have an owner who refuses to pay into the luxury tax. This hurts when three players take up $94m worth of cap (we have $120m committed, it appears).

    That leads to the other problem, which isnโ€™t really a problemโ€ฆbut it is.

    (I know, I know: I didnโ€™t mention this second problem at the beginning of this piece. Hopefully, your trust in me as a reviewer is not shaken. Honestly, this problem didnโ€™t really come about until I looked more at Bantaโ€™s scouting reportโ€ฆthatโ€™s when I realized I had another problem.)

    I donโ€™t like David Banta.
