If you don't buy this game then you are stupid/poor. It is clearly the best game on the Gamecube. That is all.

I didn't lose, Ibeat them 69 - 23, but I was a bit panicky.

I know, got him confused with the Jimmy Floyd character.

HOLD? Gah. Damn tapping. It's tap in their Fifa games. Damn em.

The automatic setting is Pro, but even if you've never played the game before you shouldn't be losing the Claymores as the Seahawks.

*Hasselbeck

And you hold A to sprint on offense, and X on defense.

I think I will, this is a good omen:

The Seahawks are atrocious at holding onto the ball.
The Claymores scored 23 points against me on whatever the default setting is (i'm assuming it's rookie here)

I had about 12 fumbles. Hasselbanks a good Quaterback though.
And I can't get anybody to sprint, it's too confusing as it's one button when you're defending, and another when you've got the ball, also, I need to let the comoputer take people down, as they sprint faster than me.

Do you tap the buttons or hold it down to sprint?

I'm saving up once I've got a real job (a career as in) to get a seat on the 50 yard line about 7 rows back at the Super Bowl.

Then I'll come on here and laugh at you all. ALL OF YOU!

You are a jinx, Simon, A JINX.

Rice clearly would have continued to catch had you not been there. Ahar.

I want to go to a Raiders game. :-(

Yeah the major downside to Madden is that you'll need a 16x memory card to save all of it. They're only about £15 though and you'll never need another memory card again, so it's worth it.

You're so lucky to have seen a live game Simon, was the food good? At least the match you watched didn't end 6-3 (oh deary deary me - how disappointing would that be?).

The NGC review was pretty much what I expected - they said it was too hard, and it leads me to the conclusion that they must be rubbish. Play the game on Rookie and you automatically qualify as attrocious if you concede more than 1 touchdown. Did they expect the game to be easy on "All-Pro"? The game is as easy or as hard as you like it. The other reason that they found it hard was probably because they played as the Dolphins and the Bills. I think that says it all.

I think I'm going to cry.
Just played my fiorst pre-season match (had to skip the training drills), I win teh game, and then, on the loading screen after it, it crashes.

My Gamecube sucks.
And it's 2 year warranty ran out in August.

It keeps crashingon the loading screen when I finish doing something.

Booo.

OK, this isn't funny.
I keep starting a Franchise, do a training drill, and after I do it, it crashes on the loading screen.

My GC does suck. There's no way the disk could be broked.
