Information Seller:Frosty Pop Genre:Family, Sports Release:Sep 19, 2019 Updated:Jan 30, 2022 Version:1.0.17 Size:293.5 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Morbus Iff Well-Known Member Sep 9, 2010 236 33 28 #2 Morbus Iff, Sep 25, 2019 Look and listen kiddies cos I played Track & Field on the NES too, back when it first came out and not in no emyooleighter. I accidentally discovered the UFO in the javelin without reading about it in Nintendo Power. BIG TIME SPORTS ain't no Track & Field. In Track & Field, I had a hard time beating the CPU, and I had to mash those damn buttons so much that I'd get pains radiating from my thumb to my arm. It's the first game I can remember deliberately using the controller improperly so I could mash faster. Here, in BIG TIME SPORTS, where I'm 35 years older and can't sit on my ass anymore cos I gots me some persistent coccyx pain, each sport/minigame I tried I was able to beat the World Record on my *first damn try*. And after that, it just becomes competition on the Game Center leaderboards. No unlockables, no variants, just leaderboard scoring. Fine, fine, that's part of your "simplicity" and "homage to an era", but it just doesn't work for me anymore. Not in a game like this, which is far easier than Track & Field was back then. And isn't Game Center leaderboard hacking still the rage? Why would people depend on it for competition metrics? So, yeah. It's not buggy, it's not "bad", it does what it sets out to do, but it's just not enough for me. macplash Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2014 2,645 1,103 113 Male 3D artist Munich, Germany #3 macplash, Sep 25, 2019 @Morbus Iff LOL.. If games these days were as difficult as when I was gaming on ZX Spectrum 30 years ago, I wouldn't be playing shit. The amount on joysticks I broke. The countless starting over from the beginning just because of one tiny mistake. Nah. It'll never be the same. And I wouldn't enjoy it in my age anyway. I'm glad for significant difficulty decrease over the years. Today Dark Souls is the pinnacle of difficulty. I remember playing cracked version of Commandos with a bug preventing me to save the progress. And yet I ended up finishing the game in one sitting eventually I'd rather chop off my left nut before doing that again So, yeah. Let's be more tolerant about Big Time Sports difficulty. Shall we?
