That has to be the most stupid thing I have ever read. Imagine if they did this with Fifa games, NHL and NBA games? This is madness, ESPN 2K5 is better than any Madden game before it and pretty much any sports game before it, absolutely amazing game to play. I can't believe EA have done this, they are becoming the Microsoft of the games industry and I don't like it because 90% of their games suck serious ass. They better not screw up Madden 2006 otherwise I will screw them up the ass.
What a fricking joke.
I have to say, ESPN does seem a little better than Madden.
BUT - all in all, for pure depth in the game and for features, Madden is still King. Will EA Sports screw it up? Of course they won't, they haven't done before so what makes you so sure they will now?
EA Sports, and Madden, have always been King Of The Grid-iron. Yes, it's a bit of a shame that they've signed this deal with the NFL, but let's be honest - it's all about making money, and the NFL has certainly made shedloads of that!
I say congratualtions, EA, on a great steal, and bring on Madden 2006 - and that PlayMakers: Blitz should be superb if it's true to the TV series . . . .
Why can't someone just make a genius American Football game with fake players?
Which would explain why I'm most probably way off the point here!
With all this stripped from them there is no way they could go on and make another in the series.. Like an artist without a brush I very much doubt they can develop anything without a license, despite the awesome game physics/mechanics.
And they want to do wit with the NBA too? Get ready for a load of games starring Jamie Lebrone.
