And what the heck is The Pulse?

Probably a game where you have to guess the penis sizes of various celebrities.

Wow, they really gave us some advanced notice of this. And what the heck is The Pulse?

Anyone care to wager that The Pulse will be yet another current events, pop-culture type game attempting to capture a demographic that will never truly embrace trivia.

I cant imagine a company that puts out trivia gaming that does not have an ongoing premium SPORTS TRIVIA feature

Well at least BT is heading back towards national games. A step in the right direction.
The Pulse does seem to be an interactive sports game replacing Sports IQ, whats the problem with that?

National games are what we want right??

At Hardtimes we will be opting out of the 7pm Wed. football pickem game and the 7pm Thur/3 pm Sat. SEC football trivia games.
See you all on the optional countdown boards at those times.

The Pulse does seem to be an interactive sports game replacing Sports IQ, whats the problem with that?

Here's a non-comprehensive list of potential problems with this.

- the game might be more like The Season, in other words, not a true sports game- who has tested the game? Certainly not any of their core sports players. The feedback BT has received has been from randoms who don't know shit.
- BT's recent track record with reworking premium games. Six, SL, and PB are all shadows of their former selves.
- BT's recent propensity to add final questions to all new premium games, if they do that with their new sports game I promise a revolt. Neither STC nor SIQ had one.
- SIQ has unique gameplay features, that's one of the positive attractions. Now that will probably disappear forever.
- it won't matter if the sports players hate the game, we'll be stuck with it.

It could also be a very good game, but we know we've got a very good game with SIQ.

I'm just at the end of my rope with BT, they don't know their product, they don't know their players, and almost everything they have done over the last few years is damaging to the company. And they won't let us help, and we could do so much good.

Ok, so maybe the initial negative reactions were possibly a bit premature, but who can blame us? They dont exactly have a glowing history on their side.

At least The Pulse now sounds as though it will be a sports game. Given the limitations and legitimate critcisms of SIQ, maybe.............just maybe this will for once turn out to be an improvement? Not holding my breath, but will give it a shot

From September through December that is the case, otherwise it would air at 5pm.

Would you rather have a repeat game aired at a later hour while competing against 20% of the network?

The only national premium games right now are out of Necessity (The Season, QB1).
