Fluffing up Your Collection NUmbers

[SegaAges]

After I send my money for starcade for gta:sa, I am thinking of getting crazy with my game collection. i have a bunch of good games, but wouldn't mind having games, good or bad. I think it is time for me to "fluff" my game numbers by buying up a buttload of sports games for systems for dirt cheap. I will end up doing this whether people like it or not, but I am wondering if I am alone in doing this. Has anybody else "fluffed" their collection numbers by buying up a buttload of sports games?

[Cmosfm]

Well, I buy any game I run across cheap that I don't have, so I have a lot of crap mixed in with my good games. If you want to "fluff" your numbers up that way, go ahead! It's your collection and it's your money, feel free to spend it as you please. :)

[digitalpress]

Has anybody else "fluffed" their collection numbers by buying up a buttload of sports games?

The only time I've ever bought sports games is when I'm going to play them a lot (like ESPN NFL 2K5) or when I'm completing a collection (I always save the sports games for last).

[joshnickerson]

I hardly ever buy sports games (aside from the occasional "extreme" title), but then again, I'm not really aiming for a monsterous collection either. Go for it, especially if you're trying to come close to completing any system collection.

[SegaAges]

it is my money, i understand, but hey man, why not.

also think of it this way. there was a time, for at least a year, when all of these games were getting played like crazy. it is going to bring me back some memories.

hell, i still play nhl 94 every once in awhile. that game is just fun

[Cmosfm]

Just be sure to pop em in and give a few mins of your attention to each one, because who knows, one of em may wind up being your favorite!

And I got some sealed "QB Attack" for saturn if you want one, lemme know, I'd be glad to trade one off!

[Aussie2B]

I pretty much never acquire sports games intentionally. :P I either get them for free or with a package of more interesting stuff.

[Iron Draggon]

Go for it! I've done the exact same thing myself, but usually more just out of boredom, because I didn't have anything else to spend my money on at the time. However I very recently just picked up a couple more, one because I just thought it might be kinda cool, and one because it's extremely rare, and they were both being offered by the same seller, so why not save a little on the shipping? The best thing about sports games is they're always available, and they're always dirt cheap, so it is a very good way to boost up all your numbers and get yourself that much closer to a complete collection. Besides, none of them are really all that bad. The only ones I hate are the ones they updated every year, those always seemed redundant and pointless to me, but if you just have a nice selection of a variety of different sports games, instead of every Madden game ever made, why should you be ashamed of it? The only truly sad cases are all the psychos who only bought a system for all the sports games, never bought anything but sports games, and bought all the updates for all of them every single year! Now that would be insane! @_@

[SegaAges]

i love hockey games, so i will end up with more hockey games than anything else. i don't even know if it exists, but i think it would be awesome to have a rugby game for genesis or snes.

The only time I've ever bought sports games is when I'm going to play them a lot (like ESPN NFL 2K5) or when I'm completing a collection (I always save the sports games for last).

Im still having a hard time doing that now. Buying sports titles only because some of them are rare, and or cheap enough that I can feel ok in spending a buck on something thats complete and in good condition (and even then I cant do it most of the time). I just picked up a few PSOne titles and the entire time I was saying put em back, put em back, but Dangerboy has his ways of making sure that I buy them.

In a sense i'm just inflating my collection size by just buying any of the PS stuff that I do. I dont really need it other that to complete this damn collection.

[christianscott27]

theres no shame in the sports game! if you're completing a collection what more needs to be said? besides even though they're common a lot of them are fun to play, there was a reason they sold so well after all. besides if you want to have a "representive" collection you must have the sports titles, when people talk about playing the genesis back in the day sports games are right up near the top.

personally i dont feel its any fluffier than having say "frogger" on 8 different consoles.

[Funk Buddy]

I don't do it on purpose. I don't sell anything that I don't have multiple of... that means Brittney's Dance Beat too! LOL I like sports games and used to by Madden each year like many others. I quit doing that and if I pick one up, it's gotta be cheap.

hmm, good point. i actually own a few games for multiple systems.

i own virtua fighter for 32x, saturn, and r-zone. the r-zone 1 sucks bad, but i still have the game for 3 consoles

[Ed Oscuro]

I will never "fluff" my collection.

First off, I'm absolutely climbing over boxes. My room has very little space left in it.

Secondly, money is a valuable commodity to me. I can go crazy on eBay finding things I want or think look cool, so I'm not about to waste that precious prototype & rare system money on sports games.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Why do they all have to be sports and or bad games? I bet you still could find alot of quility budget or cheap titles to fill in your collection. I don't know what type of games your into, but even if your into next gen consoles, you should still be able to find something of interest fairly cheap. Hell, in the past 2 months alone, I have gotten ribbit king,ty 2,gradius V,kof 01/02 and chrono q all for little over the price of one newer hyped game. All i'm trying to say is just because you want to "fluffen" up your collection. Doesn't mean they have to be these random shitty sports games you find loose for 49 cents.

[maxlords]

My question is, is this more or less respectable than the "fluffing" that goes on in the porn industry? I think it's a toss up....

[Iron Draggon]

i love hockey games, so i will end up with more hockey games than anything else. i don't even know if it exists, but i think it would be awesome to have a rugby game for genesis or snes.

Well there's at least a couple of Rugby games for the Genesis/MegaDrive:

International Rugby (MegaDrive)
Rugby World Cup (Genesis)

I probably should pick up one or both of these myself, I just haven't yet.

BTW, there's also at least three Cricket games for the MegaDrive as well:

Brian Lara Cricket (MegaDrive)
Brian Lara Cricket 96 (MegaDrive)
Shane Warne Cricket (MegaDrive)

I probably should pick up at least one of these myself also, when I can.

[video_game_addict]

Minimum fluff factor in this collection. I'm actively collecting Atari 2600, PCE, & Neo Geo MVS. Around 375 boxed 2600 (some fluff) around 100 PCE/DUO, minimum fluff here, as I resell any I don't end up liking. Be that from language barriers or just plain out crap gameplay. MVS, which is under 30, mainly just the titles I want here, no fluff. I also own the current gen systems, but have reasonably small collections for all of those, only buy a new game every now or then, and pick up the occasional budget release. 2600 is the only platform I would allow possible fluff to enter home. That's my only vice. So am I crazy for blowing $60 on an Math game?! Likely never to be played... Can that even be considered fluff, or are expensive titles excluded from this? It's needed if one strives for complete collection. Limit collections to only premium platforms and collect less fluff!

[Berty]

i usually acquire alot of fluff when i by games in lots, hence having about four copies of lethal enforcers and way too many madden games

[FlufflePuff]

I was actually debating a sports buying binge on tomorrow's hunt. I've recently been dumping too much money into too few games (Menace Beach, Sunday Funday, complete Dragon Warrior 4). I was thinking of trying to jump from 370 to 400 in the NES collection tomorrow. Who knows, if I do well at the poker tables I might be able to do it without breaking the bank. ;)

[postulio]

i think fluffing a collection is pointless. who are you competing against? are you trying to impress anyone?

personally i collect for myself and myself only, i dont care about number, i like looking throught he shelves or my collector software and seeing all the great games i love. every game i have has been looked for, paid for and hugged on arrival.

if i ever get a game with a lot i give it to a friend, i dont want garbage.

its your money do what you want, but think about it, would you rather have five $3 sport games youll never bother with? or would you like to have one good game you enjoy/enjoyed at one point and actually means something to you.

[Nesmaster]

i only buy sports games if they are for nes, and there are some good ones which i already have. The other not-so-good titles i'll pick up later on when i need them to complete my collection :)

[classicb]

Well I wouldn't even consider it fluff. I like to collect Tecmo sports games mostly because I loved them growing up but its more than just playing them now as I have the same titles for Genesis and SNES. I also loved playing the early EA VS games like Bulls VS Blazers ect. I like sports so collecting sports games appeals to me. I guess I'm lucky since their so cheap.

[thegreatescape]

BTW, there's also at least three Cricket games for the MegaDrive as well:

Brian Lara Cricket (MegaDrive)
Brian Lara Cricket 96 (MegaDrive)
Shane Warne Cricket (MegaDrive)

I probably should pick up at least one of these myself also, when I can.

Actually Shane Warne Cricket is the same as Brian Lara Cricket, just a different name. I suspect Shane Warne V2 is BLC 96 but the guide says otherwise so i dont really know.
It doesnt really matter anyway as theyre all dogs. If you want a *real* cricket game try Super International Cricket on SNES. Best cricket game ever- easy to play and more fun than any stickball game :P

Send me a PM if you ever get any playable (e.g not madden) Mega Drive fluff/doubles ;)

[Iron Draggon]

Hey! Thanks for the info! I got my info from the Genesis Collective, I don't have the DP Advance Guide *YET* but I will be ordering a copy very soon!

Anyhow, now that I've gone back and read the fine print, I see now that Shane Warne Cricket V2 is actually just a re-released Australian YACEG variant (Whatever the hell that means!) of Brian Lara Cricket 96, so it is the same.

[PhoeniX]

Recently, after passing up some good oporunities, I have decided whenever I find a game in the wild that I don't already have and that is also in reasonably good condition, that costs around $1 (up to $2), I will buy it outright! I once passed up on a World Series Baseball for the 32x boxed for $1 because it was a sports game, later it turned out to be hard to acquire on my quest to complete a US 32x collection. Granted this is the exception not the rule, but you never know when somewhere down the road you might want a game, and if it's cheap why not? The first way I collected was largely by the DP top games lists on these forums, this helped me amass a fun collection but it lacked depth. After I got almost all the top games I decided to comb the opinions looking to better represent other genres', I have also tried to just collect rares or even all the R7's for a given system. Recently I worked towards a couple complete collections and some sub-collections (like the NES Tengens). Now that I want to work towards complete collections for many systems picking up cheap games as they become available just seems to make sense; and I certainly don't mind that this fluffs my numbers. :)

[NESaholic]

I'll buy anything nes related, sport games,crappy games, rare games,common games, i like them complete, if it's cheap or rare i will buy cart only but i try to avoid that.Anyway the more the marrier!

[Iron Draggon]

i think fluffing a collection is pointless. who are you competing against? are you trying to impress anyone?

I think a better way of putting it would be "rounding out our collections" as opposed to "fluffing up our collections". For me, it's certainly not any kind of competition, because until I found DP, I thought that I was the only one!

Seriously, I don't know why I thought that, but that's what I believed, until I saw all the pics of other people's collections that put mine to shame like it was just getting started up, and I'm at around 1500 games for 12 systems!

So around here, I guess it does seem very competetive for some people, especially for those who are nowhere near the levels of the most massive collections that very few of us are fortunate enough to be calling our own.

And that's an easy trap to fall into here. Even I have noticed that I feel more of a need to keep adding new items to my collection since I started hanging out here, for some reason, so I hate to think what it must be like for others.

But I still don't feel like I have to impress anybody, it's just that now that I know alot more about the value of what I have, and what I'm still missing, it just seems like it's more important to me, especially with prices always rising!

So whatever the reason for it, if somebody just wants to increase the size of their collection, then I say more power to them. Let them achieve their own goals however they can, no matter what it is they're going for in their quest.

We can really only go for one or more of 5 things in any of our collections:

QUANTITY
QUALITY
RARITY
OBSCURITY
DIVERSITY

That's really all there is to it. The 5 ITY's. No matter what you do, that's it. You can have the most, the best, the rarest, the weirdest, or the buffet. And there's nothing wrong with ordering an entree or a combination platter.

But naturally, most of us all end up in the buffet line with the combination platter on our trays before very long, because if you just order one of the entrees, you're gonna get sick and tired of eating the same dish all the time.

We may start out with one of the entrees, but by the time we get to our tables, we've piled a little bit of everything onto our plates. Now we've got all this food to eat, but something is still missing. What is it? Oh yeah, dessert!

So now SegaAges and I and a few others go running back to the buffet line, before all of the best desserts are gone. And what do we find when we get there? They're putting big double scoops of ice cream on the pie a la mode!

Frantically we grab all the flavors we want, and leave the rest for those who chose to wait until after they've finished with everything else on their plates before they even get up to go and look at what's left in the dessert section.

Now there's nothing left but pudding, and there's not even any chocolate or banana anywhere to be found anymore. It's all just tapioca and vanilla, mostly lots of vanilla, and the tapioca looks kinda funny too. So much for dessert!

[SegaAges]

well heres the thing, i am competing. but i am competing with myself. i feel that i can have many more games. now i know that numbers are not everything, but when was the last time you bought an old school sports game.

i used the term fluff, because everybody around here seems to have almost a hatred towards sports games. i see it all the time. i figured that i barely own any sports games, and that it would be fun to go on a sports game binge. there are so many different types of sports that it would be interesting to see what i, myself, end up with. a cricket game, a rugby game, hell, the snes even has a street hockey game. even if some of these games suck, it would still be super fun to play them.

don't get me wrong fellow dp'ers, i play every single game i buy, even if it is just for a few minutes to find out that it sucks balls, but i play every single one. hell, i got nhl 94 for genesis for $1 and played through an entire season, and i bought the game over the summer. i will play every single game i buy. think about it, what would be more cool than bragging to your friends that you just got through a season of water polo for some random system and here they are trying to make it through madden.

i know that the 1st game on my list is rugby for genesis, after that, i have no clue where i will end up.

[Captain Wrong]

i think fluffing a collection is pointless. who are you competing against? are you trying to impress anyone?

its your money do what you want, but think about it, would you rather have five $3 sport games youll never bother with? or would you like to have one good game you enjoy/enjoyed at one point and actually means something to you.

I was just going to say the same thing. It's your money and all, but buying crap games not to complete a collection but just so you can say "I have ____ games in my collection" has got to be the lamest thing I've ever heard.

[SegaAges]

ok, so maybe i had a secret behind wanting sports games.

i think some of you pushed me to announce it, so here it goes:
nobody collects old school sports games unless they are rounding out their collection. i think it would be cool to get myself a nice little sports game collection going on. i suck at sports games, but is there anybody else that you know that wants to collect sports games for the FUN of it. do not get me wrong fellas, this sports game binge will all be in fun, and every game i buy will get played.

[slip81]

SegaAges are you the guy that bought that palete of 960 NHL 96's LOL

But seriously like most have said it's your money and all so do whatever, but if I were going to fluff up my collection I would just buy every cheap game I could find, that way my collection would have variety instead of just 100 playable games and 200 sports titles

[SegaAges]

so maybe i like nhl 96 :D

the way i see it, nobody really likes sports games, and i suck at them. the new sports games are way too complicated to understand now anyways. if i want to play madden, give me madden 93 or something.

back then, it was about gameplay, not how much crap you could put into a game. "new to this year's update is a bunch of complicated controls"

genesis was busting out 3 buttons and did just fine with those. they went to 6, but you could still play games just fine. believe me, i will not be getting sports games for next gens, only old school, and hopefully a buttload for genesis, just because i like genesis sports games, i can't explain it.

and you guys have to admit, the ken griffey games on snes are super fun.

[Jasoco]

I've actually been considering thinning out my collection.

For a while I had been grabbing any game I could afford just to get my game count up. Yeah, I was. I love telling people I have 650+ games and then listing off all my consoles.

But lately I've been more into gaming. I think I have reached a point where I'd rather just collect what I really like. I am still thinking about it, but if I decide to, I'll probably sell off most of my Genesis (Keeping the CD and 32X games) and MAYBE some of my PSX games. (Minus the longbox games.)

I would most likely concentrate on Nintendo games. Any Nintendo game I want. Nintendo games, signage, etc. Anything Nintendo related. If I had to compress my collection, I'd probably keep only my Nintendo games. (Not counting Xbox and PS2. This goes for older systems only.)

I'll start with the crappy cheap games I picked up just to have during my final collecting days. PS2 games mostly. Just a couple. No one wants them anyway, I wish I could return them, actually, I wish I had never bought them. Oh well. I'd much rather have games I know I like, or games that have cool cases, packaging, etc... I am a packaging whore. I will buy a game I know I won't really be totally into just to have the cool package. I bought the Japanese SMB Famicom Mini for GBA just ecause I knew Nintendo would never release the US version in a cool pagkage. I bought Donkey Konga mainly for the box. I like the game, but I like the box more. I ordered Pokemon Box even though I don't even own a Pokémon game that would work with it just because I knew it'd have a nice big box and to my surprise, a really cool half-red/half-blue translucent 59 memory card. I bought a Best Buy Halo 2 controller/DVD pack because the box was cool. I imported a Nintendo GameCube/GBA catalog frokm Japan because the thing was completely bright flourescent orange and comes with a DVD that is completely Japanese with no English whatsoever. (Has an interview with Myamoto. Too bad I don't understand Japanese.)

On my next day off I am going to do changes to my room, and am seriously considering retiring all my unplayed systems to stacks on the upper shelves and only displaying my modern systems. Keeping them available for occasional hookup, but not in the way all the time. It's for the best. I've already compressed my Genesis and SNES to a smaller area to make room for my growing PS2 and DVD collection.

Que Sera Sera...

[christianscott27]

why must we constantly revisit the collecting games you dont necessarily play issue? i swear it pops up in some form at least once a month. its a choice, some of us get as much enjoyment out of collecting as others do out of playing. for christsakes this is a site that at least used to be about collecting old games.

[rhetoric]

I tried fluffing up my collection a while back, but then realized I was just collecting a bunch of crap that I was uninterested in and didn't care about. From then on, I've tried to collect stuff that is at least mildly ok and have had some sort of interest with the occasional game that is so bad that you have to own (drake, kabuki warriors). The only time I also ever buy sports game is with the espn 2k football series since I love football.

[Iron Draggon]

I thought that it was fun to go on a sports game binge the last time that I went on one, and like I said before, I don't even like sports games. Hell, I don't even like sports! But there are far more questionable pursuits that you could be going after than sports games. What if you were going on a kiddie game binge? Now that would be truly twisted! Even I hardly have any games that would fall into that category at all, and I have no desire to obtain very many more than I already have. Oh yeah, there's a couple that I might pick up someday, but only because they're not really all that childish, not just for some insane need to own every single game ever made for a certain system. So I still don't think that there's anything inherently wrong with your choice.

In fact, it's kind of inspiring me to continue picking up a few more sports games besides the two that I just bought recently. But if I do that, then I'm gonna be on a quest for something that doesn't seem to exist anymore. A SEALED copy of Konami's NFL Football for SNES. I don't know why it's so impossible to find a sealed copy of that game, but it is, and mint complete copies aren't too common either. Most are cart only. So it must be a pretty good game, if everybody opened it, and they aren't still showing up brand new on any given day on ebay. Maybe it's just the usual Konami syndrome of hardly enough copies to go around were ever made. But whatever it is, it seems to be a pretty damn rare sports game, and it looks pretty damn cool.

So if you happen to run across one of those in factory sealed condition, go ahead and pick it up for me if you will, and I will gladly pay you whatever you want for it. Maybe it will help you to finance a bit of this new binge of yours. But I don't want it if it isn't factory sealed, so that's the requirement! Now you have a challenge, should you choose to accept it. And my offer stands for anyone else who may happen to find what I'm looking for, so let's see who can find it the fastest, if it can even be found! Should I make a new thread about it, or will issuing my challenge here in this one do the trick?

NFL Football by Konami for SNES, must be factory sealed, price is irrelevant.
BTW, it's sometimes known as Team NFL Football, so keep that in mind.

But please do try to keep it within reason. I really don't wanna have to pay more for it than what it cost brand new when it came out, and I shouldn't have to because it's just a sports game, but a very hard to find sealed one!

DOWN... SET... HUT!

[jdc]

I own very little in the way of hockey, baseball, football, basketball and soccer. Madden 99 for the N64, NHL 95, NBA Jam TE and ESPN Baseball Tonight for the Genny...and I just bought NFL QB Club 2000 for the Dreamcast because it was sealed for $3.

I don't buy sports games because I can't PLAY them. I only WISH that I could play a hockey game, but I have trouble passing to someone I can't see on the screen. I'd love to play a good afternoon of Madden, but I don't know the rules of NFL football. Soccer is too fast. I can play basketball and baseball though.

I don't consider sports games to be "fluff". They ARE video games after all, and they have as much merit and right to be in a collection as the new Halo or Grand Theft game.

On that note, can someone suggest some "easier but good" football, soccer and hockey games for the NES or Genny? Like someone else mentioned, it's the complexity of the modern releases that make it hard to learn to play them.

[anagrama]

BTW, there's also at least three Cricket games for the MegaDrive as well:

Brian Lara Cricket (MegaDrive)
Brian Lara Cricket 96 (MegaDrive)
Shane Warne Cricket (MegaDrive)

I probably should pick up at least one of these myself also, when I can.

Actually Shane Warne Cricket is the same as Brian Lara Cricket, just a different name. I suspect Shane Warne V2 is BLC 96 but the guide says otherwise so i dont really know.

Do you know if Shane Warne Cricket & V2 are definitely seperate games?
I've seen copies of SWC with a 'V2' sticker on the cart, but don't think I've ever seen a V2 box.
I read conflicting reports about this while compiling the MD guide, and have only listed one game at the moment. (as fantastic as Genesis Collective is, there's a few other errors in their listings so I don't want to take that as a definitive word).
I'll be happy to amend it, if anyone can supply solid info.

[thegreatescape]

Well, theres a SWC V2 on ebay.au-
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11064&item=8142784688&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

There is a seperate box (or a box sticker), but im not sure how much different the game itself is. If it stays at under $5 AU i might grab it to compare it with my Brian Lara Cricket and a rom of BLC 96.
Speaking of BLC, it did get a sort of "pseudo" release here, because my copy has an review sticker from the Australian Sega Magazine (megazone) and OFLC rating stickers on the front and back.

[anagrama]

Well, theres a SWC V2 on ebay.au-


Cheers! I did puzzle over this one for a while, but that looks like a different game. One of the things that confused the issue was that hydr0x had a copy with a V2 sticker on the cart, but in the standard box.
I know I searched for a ROM for a while but came up empty-handed. Guess I should have another look and try to settle this one.

Let me know if you're not going to go for that copy - I might have a pop at it myself.

[liab1228]

i will buy any game that i find cheap in the wild.
i figure im collecting so sooner or later i would have bought the game.

[doomedpeasant]

if i have the money and if its cheap....its mine :vamp:

[Aussie2B]

I'd love to play a good afternoon of Madden, but I don't know the rules of NFL football. Soccer is too fast. I can play basketball and baseball though.

That's one of the problems I have. I have never been interested in sports in my entire life, so I just plain don't understand a lot of these complicated games. I find myself incapable of playing football games (for some reason I was able to play Tecmo Bowl as a little kid, but I question if I'd be able to now). I can somewhat handle baseball, but that's about it.

[Iron Draggon]

I own very little in the way of hockey, baseball, football, basketball and soccer. Madden 99 for the N64, NHL 95, NBA Jam TE and ESPN Baseball Tonight for the Genny...and I just bought NFL QB Club 2000 for the Dreamcast because it was sealed for $3.

Sports games seem to be alot easier on the Game Gear than they are on the Genesis, so if you have one, you might wanna try picking up a few of these:

NBA Action
NFL '95
NHL Hockey
Wimbledon Tennis
World Cup Soccer
World Series Baseball '95

Those are all the ones that I have for the Game Gear, and none of them are very hard or very complicated, they're just slightly dumbed down from their counterparts on the Genesis. And they're alot more fun than you'd expect! I actually enjoy them sometimes, so I'm glad that I talked myself into them all.

[Iron Draggon]

OK people, if any of you were participating in this, you all lost my challenge!

I just bought myself a factory sealed Konami NFL Football for SNES for only $10 shipped! And while I was at it, I went ahead and bought myself a factory sealed copy of Nintendo's NHL Stanley Cup Hockey for SNES for only $10 shipped too! So I'll see if either of those are any good pretty soon.

Now I just need to get some good Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Tennis, Soccer, Volleyball, and any other sports games that have been done for the SNES to complete my SNES sports game collection. So if you know of any titles that you recommend, please suggest them here. I'm not adverse to having more than one game for any one sport, so feel free to suggest Football & Hockey games too. I know there's two Volleyball games for SNES, so I'll probably go ahead and get both of those, since there's only two games to choose from.

Here's all the sports games that I have for the SNES so far:

California Games 2
Brunswick Bowling
Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball
Super Baseball 2020
Football Fury
Winter Extreme: Skiing & Snowboarding

And of course, the two games that I just bought. But I'm only collecting sports games for the SNES right now, so please don't suggest any sports games for any other systems. I already have most of the ones that I want for all the other systems, and I already know which ones I'm still looking for.

For soccer games, FIFA is usually hard to beat, though i think the ISS games are good too (ive only played the psone games).

Add one more plug for Super International Cricket, but i guess youd need to know the sport to play it properly. Its even better if you have a mate that also knows the sport, but chances of that happening in america are probably 1/1000 :P
