Ok.

Fine.

Now EA has ZERO reason to improve the series though.

Not if all they have to do is update the rosters to get suckers to buy these games every year. Throw in a few meaningless gimmicks that they have access to as a result of this deal and boom, virtual money machine.

Not to seemingly be a post whore...but this is what EA has ALWAYS done.

Remember back to the ond Sega NHL games?

The only reason things were differnet was because of expansion. Thats all. Expansion=updated rosters.

What about the old Madden games?
New sounds and rosters.

Sure they change little things, sometimes they change alot, sometimes not.

Like NHL 92 (I think) didnt have a season, or playoff mode.
NHL 93 (or 94) had blood.
NHL 94 or 95 was the introduction of double minor penalties.

See? Minor changes.

Thats all sports games are. Roster updates, and a few graphic changes, and gameplay.

as long as they continue to make Madden better, this wont affect me in any way.

if they dont, then I'll be pissed.

I've put about 500 hours into EA Sports titles over the past 20 months or so

The games may be very similar to the previous incarnation, but I still find that I get more quality gaming out of a few EA Sports titles than I do every other game minus one blockbuster each year.

Different strokes for different folks...

I'll be purchasing Madden 2006 to start a dynasty with the Steelers. Unless I purchase a new system, that will be the last football game I probably will ever buy.

KillerGremlin · 12-14-2004, 04:18 PM

I despise everything EA stands for, and I think the quality of their games are low. They have lots of money, and they appeal to the general masses. The general masses are retarded, unfortunately. If EA can buy the rights for NFL teams, imagine what else they can buy.......

Perfect Stu · 12-14-2004, 04:49 PM

Battlefield
SSX
Need For Speed

^^ those series are pure quality, I dont care who you are or what your gaming preferences are

DeathsHand · 12-14-2004, 05:29 PM

I think some people don't give EA enough credit...

As Stu mentioned, NFS, SSX... I'd like to add Medal of Honor (although some would disagree, specifically on the console games)... The Sims/Simcity...

However I don't like the idea of the only NFL football game being madden... I always liked Sega's better...

Medal of Honour is awesome on consoles!!

I agree, I actually prefer the two PS2 games to allied assault (havn't even finished it, whereas I played Frontline's missions over and over and over... and over and over...), but most people I've heard say AA is the best

Although apparently the new PC game (pacific assault) isn't too great... havn't played it yet though...
