Also played TPG2 and Music Wars Rebirth 1 and 2, I would say I was casual with it since Eastside Hockey 2007 took up most of my computer sim time...I just started an Association with the Real World Mod and went from 19-12 with Bama to leading UCLA to a title in my first year, playing big man ball..and it was a lot of fun to finally win a title in this game, now hopefully I can repeat.
