Gaming on a Budget Ep. 10: Sports Games, NHL 2001

In this show we discuss ways to get a good gaming experience despite a money constraint.

This is the introductory episode for "Sports Month." In this episode, we talk about sports games, their inherent draw to video games, and the value that sequels game to your gaming purchases. We also provide a review of NHL 2001.

The video was done using DAZ 3D Studio (a free download), Mimic for DAZ Studio, and Windows Movie Maker. PC footage was captured using Game Cam and Cam Studio, and all console footage was captured on DVD and retrieved using Easy DVD Ripper. Special effects were done with Adobe After Effects and individual pictures were done in Photoshop. Audio was done with Audacity.

I hope you enjoy the show. Please leave your comments, questions, or suggestions in the feedback section below.

another great vid! will your monthly topics stay the same year after year, or will each new month bring a new topic? like, will next Feb be sports again, or will it be something different? keep it up!

[thebgbb]

As of now, I plan to have February of next year be a different theme. That said, I will likely revisit sports month in the future. There are a lot of amazing sports games out there; far too many to sum up in 4 weeks.

I think you will find that the games I have chosen for this month cover a fairly broad cross-section of sports games.

Great review.

Are you going to talk about Football Manager and games like that?

[thebgbb]

Actually, I'm going in a different direction for the remainder of the month. I am going to cover one sport that most of us have probably never played, one fantasy sport that we never could play, and one sport's game that has excellent multiplayer formats.

I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

Have you heard about Blood Bowl? It's football + Warhammer and they're making it for the consoles.

[thebgbb]

I have heard of Blood Bowl. In fact, I did a review of a similar, if more toned down, game in December called "Battle Ball."

I think it is fantastic that they are making it into a console title.  I look forward to playing it.

Thanks for the information!

@thebgbb I got some good ones NASCAR 2001, NHL 2K3, NFL 2K3, NBA 2K3, MADDEN 2001, TRIPPLE PLAY BASEBALL, NBA LIVE 2001, and NFL BLITZ 2003 ( the only one which hasn't been ridiculed at all yet ).

yeah although it was hillarious for NHL 02 for the jokes, But they sound like adult 10 year olds. My only problem with my copy NHL 2002 besides the fact that it doesn't work like it hates me because I scored goal after goal with larry lemeau on the custom team I made. Although its almost like people at the game were really freakin stupid. Like for example "The Earth is round not flat" in the game the year is 2001 not the 13th century when they also thaught the Earth was the center of everything
