I'll have to check that out tonight. I thought the avatars were optional, but I had to pick one before doing anything else this morning. For now, I just picked a default one and haven't customized it yet.

I am loving the NXE so far. The dashboard is much quicker and everything is better organized.

I changed my shirt yesterday - now I look like a washed out Vietnam Vet.

Ditto.

By the way, I played a fantastic game against Jared last night for my online AGE dynasty.  He and I were the only ones of a dozen players to actually have a versus matchup in the bowls.  His 15th ranked Miami team took on my 14th ranked LSU team in the Chick-Fill-A Bowl, both teams sporting an identical 9-3 record.

I started the game off with a four minute TD drive, and he rebounded with a game tying score in the 2nd quarter ..... 7-7 at the half.  In the second half, we kept trading scores.  With about 3-4 minutes to go, I went out in front, but he scored a quick TD to go up 24-21 with just over a minute to go.  My first play from scrimmage was a long screen pass play to get me close to field goal range, but he sacked my QB on the next play.  On fourth down, I got "close" to FG range with 15 seconds left and only one time out.  I ran a quick HB run inside and called time out with 3 seconds left.  He iced the kicker and I had to kick a 33 yarder in "ice-out" mode.  The kick started off to the right but then hooked to the left and barely made it inside the upright ..... overtime.

My ball first.  Grinded my way to a TD.  Jared's turn ..... first play from scrimmage, Interception!  First turnover of the game for either side.  Final score, LSU 31, Miami 24.

Sorry to hijack this thread with a football story, but that game was just so much fun, I'm antsy to get some more games in soon!

Edit - Jared was 10-2, we were 9-3.

I'm seriously considering the 120GB hard drive for the game installation feature alone. For some reason I couldn't install NCAA Football though. When I put the game in, the Y button wouldn't show up. Was anyone else able to install NCAA Football?
