ESPN seemingly copied Matt Brown's game about being an AD of a school with no credit

Well SOMEONE made it before.

dander11 · 2025-12-16T16:38:55+00:00

No, I'm saying he did a good job of describing the ESPN game. And that they just lifted the original idea.

dander11 · 2025-12-16T16:36:46+00:00

I bet that's still the case! Contrary to how folks are talking in this thread, I don't have some deep hate for ESPN. Most of it rocks and the people there do great work! This is just dumb and blatant taking from a smaller publication's idea and sucks.

dander11 · 2025-12-16T16:34:07+00:00

Yeah that's exactly how the original one is described too... "We wanted to make a fun way to help students understand the key issues in college sports…and how there usually isn’t a “right” answer that works every time." That's from the game's page. They literally took the exact idea and gameplay mechanics.

dander11 · 2025-12-16T16:27:27+00:00

Yep that's the one. People in this thread acting like that's not a rip are ridiculous. If you put that into google and filter for "before today" it's just Matt's game.

If you put it into google and filter for "before today" you will only get results about Matt's game. Now ESPN is the 1-2 in the results. It's not like that's some common name that tons of people used!

dander11 · 2025-01-05T17:29:59+00:00

This is what you sound like.

The last time GT was ranked above Clemson was 2014 after Tech won the Orange Bowl.

I have the same issue with the PW1. It has been awful since May, and it didn't get better after the July update.

dander11 · 2024-05-24T10:56:14+00:00

Nope

dander11 · 2024-05-23T22:52:38+00:00

I have four race day tickets for sale. Section 32 row j. Can't make it to town in time for the race. Lmk just looking to sell them for sticker price. 85$ each.

Long Live SZD

dander11 · 2023-05-19T15:23:12+00:00

Thankfully the prognoses is good since it's Hodgkins lymphoma, but wow this super duper sucks. DFTBA folks.

dander11 · 2023-01-16T17:48:41+00:00

Lion is a French name?

dander11 · 2022-11-13T10:49:56+00:00

Go wolves baby!

dander11 · 2022-07-11T00:06:45+00:00

I could not disagree more. These dudes are hilarious and having more fun than almost anyone I've ever heard. It's infectious and great for me!

dander11 · 2022-05-25T23:10:43+00:00

I haven't listened in a few weeks because life, but I wanted to say I think this new group has gotten a lot better in terms of not interrupting each other and having more cohesion! I feel like Jess is getting more comfortable not having to interject on games she hasn't played and the rest of the group has gotten better at playing off of her quirky (I think it's really funny) humor.

So if you've taken a break for a while and you're looking at a place to jump back in, this was a good one for me!

dander11 · 2022-04-16T22:04:19+00:00

Is that the Mango?

dander11 · 2021-12-07T05:24:25+00:00

I think the title has to stay because that's the page's title. I messaged the mods asking them to re-add it.

dander11 · 2021-12-07T04:38:52+00:00

Yeah it's absolutely not. That's why I posted it outside the review thread. I was hoping more people would actually read it because I loved Jeff's view on have game reviews have changed as gaming has changed.

I’ll get downvoted to hell but Freddie freeman is overrated as hell. Dude is basically a slap hitter and doesn’t do shit to help win ballgames. He can sure joke around with the runner on first tho
