NXE( New Xbox Experience)

The NXE update was launched on the 19th November this month. Everyone was eager to download it to experience the new interface. But as I was super busy these few weeks(Sbs Nite) , I only get to download it last night.

The download time was long though,around 90 minutes.I switched it on about 11.30Pm,I can only get to play it about 1 in the morning. Fortunately, I was smart enough to study my IEC coursework while waiting for the download to finish.

At 1am the Xbox has finally be updated. After a very cool intro about the NXE, I was required to create my own avatar which I took a bit of time to create it(FIFA more important k!?) . As for the interface, i find it very nice and different from the old dashboard. But other things could have been improved.

Luckily there was Kern, one of the best players LYN has ever seen. Since we were waiting for the rest of the guys to finish their game, I had two quick friendlies with him. The first match ended in a thrashing by him which also includes an embarassing own goal by my own Ferdinand. For a dude who just got his game on that day itself , he was playing very well. He did some passes that were spectacular and his first touch was awesome where his Anelka did some wicked turning to my defender's suprise. I only one shot through the match. T.T

Finally when Terra and the rest are ready for a Club game, the servers was very lag and we waited for quite some time before we can even join a game. But then when I was about to start the game, I was DC-ed from the match. The rest of them had no problems leaving me stranded on the dressing room waiting for them to finish their game. I tried again the second time later after they lost the game and the same thing happened again. I thought it was because I did not install the game into the hard drive(NXE Feature) and then I left for a while to install it(10 Mins)

After that I tried again but this time I was the captain and Thank God , I was able to play my Club game. But we lost the next two matches as our passing werent that good through the whole match and my positioning was very bad. Need to practice a lot..

In my last game , I was dc-ed again. I think its because I wasnt the captain. Maybe next time have to be captain kua. But it was a fun experience although short-lived. Cant wait to improve my skills after my busy weeks are over.
