I will make a new curse and call it the "ESPN Curse". Konami got the license and they lost it, then Sega got it and lost it, now it seems that EA has it. I wonder what's next.......

(I can't remember any previous companies that had the ESPN license, but feel free to name them

)

Just another sad example of the superior franchise getting the shaft, because of money and name recognition. Tis a sad world we live in.

superior? That's why ESPN NFL football got worse scores than Madden everywhere... and Madden has been around longer and it sells better. Everything about Madden around this time is better

(ah it feels good to use that as a defense after 3 years

)

And that makes it a better game right? You sound like a casual gamer.

Did you not read what he said before? All of the ratings were pro-Madden.

Ikaruga is one of those games that comes along, kicks incomprehensible amounts of ass, but nobody notices because everyone's too busy playing dog **** football games. I don't get it: they re-package the same ****ty football games every year, update a few stats, call it a new game and millions of suckers keep buying them. What's the point? Why not just go outside and play real football instead? Or even better yet, get bent. Nobody likes football.

Sorry I just find that very funny... Though I don't know if Ikaruga is infact a good game...

And I enjoy football games... just not buying it every single year at a full 50 bucks... I bought Madden 2002 at full price... It was ok... Was thinking of buying NFL2K3 for 8 bucks... but didn't get around to doing so... I rented it awhile back, it was better...

Conclusion: I like the NFL2K/ESPN football series better than Madden...

EA earned money
EA earned name recognation

Kudos to EA...I think, essentially, that they DID beat ESPN Football in the sales race before it began...but they put themselves in that position.

for Electronic Arts
