ซีรีส์กีฬารายปี ถือเป็นเรื่องปกติอย่างมากในยุคก่อน เพราะการจะใช้ลิขสิทธิ์ให้คุ้มค่า ผู้พัฒนา จำต้องปล่อยเกมออกมาปีต่อปี เพื่อทำกำไร และนี่ถือเป็นความท้าทาย ของผู้พัฒนาเกม ในการรักษาคุณภาพ รวมถึงเพิ่มอะไรใหม่ ๆ เข้าไปในเกมให้ได้ ภายในปีเดียว
.
แม้ในปัจจุบัน จะมีหลายซีรีส์ ที่อยู่รอด แต่ส่วนมาก มักได้รับคำวิจารณ์ไปในทิศทางเดียวกัน คือขาดความสดใหม่ เสมือนทำมาขายแฟนกีฬาไปวัน ๆ เกิดเป็นคำครหา ว่าทีมงานพวกนี้ ไม่มีทางพัฒนาอะไรดี ๆ ได้อีก

สำหรับ PGA Tour ซีรีส์กีฬากอล์ฟ ก็ประสบปัญ...
Continue ReadingYearly sports series is highly normal in the early era because of the copyright worthwhile. Developers need to release games year-on-year to make a profit. This is a challenge for game developers to maintain quality and add something new. In the game in one year
.
Even in the present, there are many series that survive, but most of them are criticized in the same direction. Lack of freshness. It's like selling sports fans for the day. It's a word that these teams can't develop anything good.
.
For PGA Tour, the Golf series also experienced that problem. PGA Tour Golf (1990) initially launched with a good score. Most of the Golf Games in that period. Almost all media were named ' Golf Game at the same time. Best right now ' huge excitement for the industry
.
This series has been ran into PGA Tour Golf III (1994) before modification to the year like other sports games in PGA Tour 96 (1995) until the game arrives at PGA Tour. 98 (1997) so we meet the first ripple obstacle.
.
Can't deny that PGA Tour Golf's previous part scored all the best, but the commentary is a decrease from the first ever first episode of ' Best Golf Game Now '. Turns out the next sequel can't do it. I have to say that I have tried to do it. But it's not always.
.
Violence happens during PGA Tour 98 with clearly different reviews. Many media comments ' Best Golf Game s' as usual, but many more media say graphics are obviously outdated even the play system is a part. Well, since they've played this for many sectors, they can't cut their minds to give more points.
.
Even PGA Tour 98 created the biggest scars at that time for the series, but for the fan of the game, it's not a big wound. It's just a score of 9 to 7, which is said accordingly. Right on the game. It's done well according to its standards.
.
So this time EA is pushing it full-time by signing Eldrick Tont ′′ Tiger ′′ Woods, the number one golfer in US Masters 1997, over 10 million US Dollar U.S. which is a high amount. At that moment (counted for more than 20 million dollars now)
.
Tiger Woods 99 PGA Tour Golf launched in 1998 with quality that is not different from the previous part. But Tiger Woods is the look to make the game in this episode very popular.
.
After that, many episodes in the series make landslide sales. But for review, it looks against the dramatic developments. The latter 2000 and upwards are commentary on the 'mix' period, barely reaching the level. Another 'good' after Tiger Woods became partners.
.
So is it because of Tiger Woods? Let me tell you that it's not, but it's because of the yearly game. It can't be much done because this time is not time for developers to come up with ideas or break any frames because the game they make cuddle am to give enough profit. Go pay for copyrights
.
If you're a golf game fan and good notice Tiger Woods 99 to 2003, there's almost no change but graphics and minor play systems.
.
Even during these 2004 games will become talked about again due to new cuddle function and spheres of the play system. But like good things won't last long when PS3 and Xbox 360 show up. Coming to golf games on new platforms, taking them downhill again.
.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 becomes the ' least ' game in the series. Despite the game is standard, but with the portfolio that doesn't seem to invest in anything, it makes the game almost forgotten by the fan game.
.
After that, they encounter the same problem every year. It can't keep the ' same ' series and the inspiration to find something new to put in the game. It's almost no effect in the latter part even the score of the game. It hasn't fallen into a bad game, but for a golf fan, his life seems to have stopped since 2004
.
This is what happens to every sports game that has evolved over the years. For example, it's a WWE Smackdown vs Raw series. It starts from great quality every year. There are some that come back to peak but After that, it will come back to the moment that it becomes a long time to talk about now.
.
But PGA Tour's problem doesn't stop just at the game during 2009, Tiger Woods started to have life problems, both wife cheating and skillful golf. Even Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 will be a fresh episode. Again, but when this happens, lower sales are undeniable.
.
After over 12 games in October 2013, EA announced that Tiger Woods contract has been cancelled. Both parties agreed and won't have any games in the next year. They signed Rory McIlroy for the replacement. This announcement makes fans expect very much as they will have time to review. What time to develop to refresh the game after not for long time.
.
But the repetition of the Rory McIlroy PGA Tour that anyone expects to be a new hope of this series. Become the last coffin nail in a way that nobody thought it could be.
.
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour debuts with the ' least in history ' score of this series. Although the series is talked about through the article that it can't maintain the original standard, but it's not a lot of parts. The game still marks 70-80 For all the time, sometimes the number 6 isn't that often happened.
.
But for Rory McIlroy PGA Tour to launch with lower points. Some offices are kind. They will give 5-6. Some offices who think they can't take it. They will give only 4 to go. Each office gives similar reasons to confirm. It's really not going to take it anymore.
.
They started watching the EA portrait of realism in a way that was never before. But after the sweet time ended, the bitterness begins. The game is blamed for the contents cut off in many old sectors. Especially the most hit Career mode.
.
Started by cutting Bonus Objectives, Practice Rounds, Career Schedules and The Trophy Room. This is very important of the game to the size of the size. Commented on IGN.
.
′′ If a professional golfer's path would be worthless, Rory McIlroy should go to study and take an accounting doctorate. Better come to climb as the number 1 golfer in this game
.
After such an incident, the critics have come to hard game, EA gave up on the golf industry and let PGA Tour's contract be cancelled. Closed 25 years of golf game legends into the past.
.
For EA, PGA Tour officially defeated by the previously defeated sports game. For similar reasons, it couldn't keep up with their frenchise standards as well as the first golf hole with a very high score before ending the last hole with an unintelligible score. I'm sad but I can see that I ' lose '
.
After that, the copyright fell to 2 K Sports. Born as The Golf Club ™ 2019 realistic golf games that the golf fans haven't touched for 4 years after the last PGA Tour.
.
Recently, HB Studios developers hold hands with 2 K Sports to become PGA Tour 2 K21 which is on sale in the future. Let's see how much they learn from the previous events and how to deal with the one year crisis. I have come to school again.Translated

for allowing me to connect with myself through this shoot. To remind me to continuously create art 💕
.
I started off last week with high energy and passion, wanted to start a weekly theme so I can share more of my creative ideas on this platform.
.
But life seems to throw curveballs at me..and last week it hit me real HARD, again. For the last two years, I feel like I haven’t been able to truly pick myself back up. I keep getting knocked down..again and again. And it’s easy to lose hope in this process. To give in to the hurt and pain.
.
It’s hard AF but I know deep down inside that I am not the same person that I am two years ago. Through it all, I found pieces of my strength that I never got to know.
.
This is unfortunately not a fun TikTok post, but I don’t want to post another travel Insta photo just to share the good side. How can we navigate through life’s gifts of learning about ourselves if we only see perfection.
.
I just think it’s so important for me to share the good and the tough. What I learnt this week, is that if I can put in an hour a day (or week) on working out, then I can put in an hour focusing on exercising my mental health. If I can spend two hours on Netflix, then I can spend two hours deepening my relationships (with my peers, family, partner).
.
My BIGGEST lesson, I used to ask my myself;
“Why am I putting myself in these horrible situations?”
“Why do I allow people to treat me this way?”
“Why am I so insecure and am not as confident as her?”
.
Now I see that these questions are mere reflections of what I’ve avoided to learn about myself..when they’re actually guiding me towards my strength. We’re so used to suppressing the ‘negative’, rather than allowing it to sit with us and to understand it.
.
What I need to ask is,
“Which part of myself have I not accepted? Is this why I am hurt by that person?”
“Have I been neglecting myself? Is this why I have certain people in my life?”
.
Now I see, that no matter how much you try to suppress the bad, it will always be there. But if we choose to work through it, we’ll already be living on the greener side of life.

Nice one

Nữ hoàng nhạc Pop và giấc mơ kiểu Mỹ

Người ta nói Madonna đã tự mâu thuẫn với chính mình khi viết American Life: một album sặc mùi chính trị, đả kích thế giới màu mè, phù phiếm và coi trọng vật chất. Với bìa đĩa là hình chân dung Madonna ăn mặc như một quân nhân mô phỏng bức ảnh nổi tiếng của Che Guevara , American life ở thời điểm đó đối với truyền thông Mỹ như là lời khiêu khích, thách thức bằng âm nhạc của Madonna về giấc mơ nước Mỹ dưới thời G. Bush.

Lí do ư? Bởi chính Madonna đã từng tự nhận mình là cô gái vật chất và kiêu hãnh hát rằng “I am a material girl living in a material world” năm nào, người nghe có phần sững sờ khi ca khúc đầu tiên American Life mở ra một chuỗi lặp đi lặp lại những câu hỏi của cô về cái gọi là cuộc sống trong mơ của nước Mỹ:

“Do I have to change my name?

Will it get me far?

Should I lose some weight

and Im gonna be a star? “

và rồi ở những giây phút cao trào nhất của bài hát, Madonna tự chất vấn chính mình:

“I tried to stay ahead

I tried to stay on top

I tried to play the part

But somehow I forgot

Just what I did it for

And why I wanted more

This type of modern life

Is it for me?

This type of modern life

Is it for free?”

Khi được hỏi Madonna đã nói rằng American Life được viết ra để vạch trần chân thực và trần trụi về tảng băng chìm trong xã hội Mỹ: “In America, more than any other place in the world, you have the freedom to be anything you want to be. Which is all well and good, but it only works if you have a value system – and we seem not to have one anymore. It's, 'Whatever it takes to get to the top, that's what you gotta do.' It's the allure of the beautiful life: 'Look like this, you're gonna be happy. Drive this car, you're gonna be popular. Wear these clothes and people are gonna want to fuck you.' It's a very powerful illusion and people are caught up in it, including myself. Or I was."

Madonna cũng tranh thủ lồng ghép những quan điểm và tuyên ngôn mạnh mẽ của mình về chính sách bảo thủ và những tư tưởng nông cạn dưới thời Bush:

“I'd like to express my extreme point-of-view

I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew

I'm just living out the American dream

And I just realized that nothing is what it seems”

Và sẽ thật vô cùng sai sót nếu như nhắc đến American Life mà không nói tới video phản chiến đầy dữ dội của nó. Mang bối cảnh một buổi diễn thời trang với chủ đề quân đội, tất cả những hình ảnh khốc liệt nhất về mâu thuẫn chủng tộc, bạo lực và chiến tranh phi nghĩa hiện lên màn hình, trong lúc những người mẫu sải bước dứoi ánh đèn flash lấp lánh giữa tiếng cười đùa vô tâm của những con người ăn vận sang trọng đến dự đêm tiệc thời trang. Ở những phút cuối, Madonna xuất hiện như một kẻ khủng bố tinh vi trên chiếc xe tăng trong sự ngỡ ngàng của khán giả và bất ngờ ném bom về phía khán giả tạo nên khung cảnh hỗn loạn. Nội dung quá nhạy cảm của American Life ở thời điểm đó, giữa lúc Mỹ đang chuẩn bị cuộc xâm lược Iraq, đã buộc Madonna phải phải hủy bỏ việc phát hành video gốc , và phát hành một phiên bản khác, trong đó cô hát dưới phông nền đang chạy quốc kỳ của các quốc gia khắp thế giới. Đây có lẽ cũng là lần đầu tiên trong sự nghiệp người ta thấy Madonna phải đi một nước cờ lùi và thay đổi sản phẩm ra mắt của mình trước những áp lực quá lớn của dư luận.

Nhưng American Life không chỉ dừng lại ở đó, mà nó giận dữ hơn thế rất nhiều. Những ca khúc sau đó tiếp tục thể hiện sự bất bình và cả mỉa mai của Madonna về nước Mỹ. Nếu như ở Hollywood cô hát “How could it hurt you when it looks so good”, để rồi “I lost my memory in Hollywood” thì ở Nobody knows me là lời cảnh báo “No one's telling you how to live your life but it's a setup until you're fed up”.

Khi đã ở đỉnh cao và là người có tất cả, nữ hoàng vật chất là người hiểu rõ hơn ai hết giá trị của danh vọng, tiền tài và hào quang. Nếu như gạt bỏ đi hết những thứ phù phiếm bề ngoài, điều cốt lõi làm nên giá trị của mỗi con người vẫn là cảm xúc và tình yêu. Ở đoạn giữa của album, Madonna đã hát về tình yêu bằng những cảm xúc ngọt ngào nhất của một người phụ nữ đã trải qua hết những sóng gió và thăng trầm của showbiz. Bộ ba bản ballads được đặt cạnh nhau Nothing fails, Invervention và X Static process là khoảnh khắc dịu dàng và tươi sáng nhất của một album nói về những góc khuất đen tối. Madonna hát thủ thỉ và dịu dàng hơn bao hết- người ta không còn thấy hình bóng của một bà hoàng quyền lực lắm mưu nhiều kế của showbiz, mà là những lời hát đơn giản và gần gũi nhất. Chỉ khi tìm thấy hạnh phúc từ những điều chân thành nhất như tình yêu, con người ta mới hiểu hết được giá trị của chính mình- X Static Process đã chiêm nghiệm như vậy trong lời hát cuôi cùng:

“ I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you

But in the process I forgot that I was special too

I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you

But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you”

American Life kết thúc với Easy Ride, một trong những ca khúc triết lí nhất mà Madonna từng viết về cuộc sống và cách mà cô đã hiên ngang trụ vững như một tượng đài sừng sững khó có thể thay thế của làng giải trí thế giới. Thành công không phải là một phép màu , và hành trang duy nhất để chinh phục nó nằm ở chính sự nỗ lực và khao khát trong mỗi con người:

“I want the good life

But I don’t want an easy ride

What I want is to work for it

Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips

That’s what I want for me.”

Về mặt âm nhạc, American Life là sự tiếp nối của album trước đó Music, với sự pha trộn của những âm thanh điện tử, folk và guitar acoustic. Được dàn dựng dưới dạng một concept album (album theo chủ đề) bàn tay nhào nặn của producer Mirwais Ahmadzaï, American Life có sự thống nhất và xuyên suốt cả về tinh thần, giai điệu và lời ca. Nhiều người cho rằng đây chính là dự án âm nhạc tham vọng và nhiều sáng tạo nhất của Madonna trong suốt hai thập kỉ trở lại đây kể từ Ray of Light. Lần cuối cùng người ta thấy Madonna đi ngược lại tất cả số đông và thử thách chính mình với một thông điệp táo bạo, mang tình thời sự và sâu sắc đến vậy.

American Life đáng tiếc là một thất bại lớn về mặt hình ảnh và doanh thu đối với Madonna ở thị trường Mỹ. Tất cả các radio trên khắp nước Mỹ đã đồng loạt tẩy chay những bài hát của Madonna vì thông điệp phản chiến mà cô theo đuổi.Tất cả những nhà phê bình tại Mỹ lúc bấy giờ đều chấm American Life điểm thấp nhất cùng những lời chỉ trích thậm tệ. Cũng không sai nếu nhận định rằng vị trí của Madonna tại Mỹ đã không bao giờ có thể trở lại được như cũ sau cú tuột dốc với American Life.

Qua thời gian, American Life dần nhận được sự ghi nhận và đánh giá công tâm hơn từ phía những người nghe nhạc. Khi cuộc bầu cử tổng thống Mỹ 2016 kết thúc với sự lên ngôi của Donald Trump, nhiều người đã tìm nghe lại American Life và dành cho album những lời tán dương. Tờ Billboard trong bài viết kỉ niệm ngày phát hành của album cho rằng American Life là một sản phẩm đi trước thời đại, và xứng đáng được đặt ngang hàng bất kì những đĩa đơn để đời khác của Madonna. Trang Pitchfork lại cho rằng American Life lẽ ra đã có thể là một cú nổ lớn của bà hoàng nhạc Pop khi vạch trần giấc mơ kiểu Mỹ nếu như không phải được phát hành vào năm 2003.

Một khoảng trầm thú vị trong sự nghiệp của Madonna và cũng là một điều thú vị của nghệ thuật. Nếu có một phép so sánh, American Life như một viên ngọc thô và sần sùi, vẻ đẹp của nó khác với những gì lộng lẫy đã làm nên tên tuổi của Madonna. Nhưng bằng cách này hay cách khắc, vẻ thô ráp và và sần sùi ấy đã tìm được chỗ đứng của nó trong dòng chảy âm nhạc hôm nay. Những lời chỉ trích, trì chiết của giới phê bình đã không giết chết được sự ngang tàng của Madonna trong âm nhạc- như lời tuyên bố đầy ngạo nghễ trong Die Another Day:

“I guess I'll die another day

It's not my time to go”

Kỉ niệm 15 năm ngày phát hành American Life.

Iverson reminds 76ers what they once had in Nuggets' win

When Allen Iverson first played against the Philadelphia 76ers, he took shots at them before, during and after the game.


This time, he saved them just for the court, then showered his old team with praise that indicated he's gotten over the bitter split.

"They've got a lot of talent on that team. They've got a lot of guys that can do things, and they've got a lot of guys that care, guys with pride," Iverson said after scoring 38 points in Denver's 109-96 win Sunday night. "It could be easy for those guys to lay down. After I left, they could have just laid down. But that ain't the type of personality most of those guys on that team have. They want to win.

"I'm pretty sure they want to prove they can win without me. That's what they should do. I just hope they continue to play hard and play every game like it's their last. I just wish them well. ... I just want to see things get better for them."

For the first time in his career, Iverson may have enjoyed watching the 76ers lose, but he swore he took no extra gratification in it.

"People ask that question all day, but my whole thing is to just win the basketball game," Iverson insisted. "If I had a big game and we didn't win I would be feeling terrible right now. I'm just happy we got the win. Like I said, it's just another basketball game, we went through that whole song and dance last year when they came in here. It wasn't any big deal to me. I just wanted to contribute."

No big deal? Nuggets coach George Karl knows better.

"I don't know if there was an extra bounce, I just think it was a seriousness in his approach," Karl said. "He's been playing pretty good against other teams, too. I was happy for him to have a big night against his old team. In a lot ways we needed him to.

"We weren't very pretty offensively, and I thought his penetration at any moment broke their defense down quite frequently. He got a lot of easy layups because of it. It was a good part of our offense."

Andre Miller, one of the players the Nuggets sent to the Sixers in exchange for Iverson, led Philadelphia with 22 points, including a jumper that erased the remnants of a 15-point deficit and tied it at 62.

Iverson answered with back-to-back 3-pointers and the Nuggets never trailed in staying a half-game ahead of Portland, which has lost just one of its last 17 games, in the Northwest Division.

Iverson's first game against his old team came just three weeks after his nasty 2006 divorce from the 76ers and he was still bitter at the time with the way coach Maurice Cheeks and team owner Billy King handled his complaints that led to his departure after a decade in Philly.

He scored 30 in that game last January but didn't stick around for the end, drawing an ejection in the final minutes of a 108-97 loss.

The Nuggets had already visited Philadelphia by the time they acquired Iverson, so his first trip back comes March 19, and Iverson isn't sure what to expect or whether it will be a more emotional experience for him than Sunday night was.

"Maybe. You don't know what the environment's going to be like," Iverson said. "I know it's going to be strange because I played there so many years and I fell in love with the fans there. I was a part of them, they were a part of me. It's obviously going to be different.

"The whole thing is just winning the basketball game. Doing whatever it takes. If you ask me how many points I was going to score tonight, I never know what I'm going to do. I never know how many points I'm going to score. If I didn't score anything I was going to do other things on the basketball court to help my team win. Fortunately, the ball was going in the basket tonight."

Iverson had 15 points in the first quarter and 20 by halftime.

"Same Allen," Sixers forward Andre Iguodala said. "Great job when he is attacking the basket. Great job of creating some type of contact and getting to the foul line a lot. That's what he does. He seems happy. He is enjoying himself."

Maybe so, but Cheeks said he didn't notice anything extra in Iverson's game -- he's always going full-tilt anyhow.

"He can score when I had him. He can score now," Cheeks said. "That is his strong point. What he did tonight is no different than he did when he was here with us."

Game notes
Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, including 19 to help the Denver build a 53-43 halftime lead. ... Anthony Carter tied his career high with 15 assists for Denver, and the Nuggets blocked a season-best 15 shots. ... Sixers rookie Jason Smith, who grew up an hour from Denver in Kersey, Colo., and attended Colorado State, stuffed Nene on an attempted slam moments after entering the game.
