This is a great list. And having 100 is not a stretch at all. I think this is spot on and why I still play the game today. I have NOT succumbed to buyiing another Madden game although I have tried the new ones. The thing that urinates me off more than EA buying the NFL license is the fact that they tied up the ESPN license for FIFTEEN (15) years and are doing absolutely NOTHING with it.

No Peter, I'm glad you are spreading the news. . .I was about to do the PS3. . .but now I'm going for the 360. . . it's cheaper too. . .Wow, Xbox finally won me over. . . I'm shocked. . .
GenoBaby Comment by GenoBaby on June 30, 2007 at 10:34am
This may be a bit off topic but it's been confirmed that the PS3 versions of both these games (even the NCAA game) are going to be running at 30FPS... the 360 version will be 60FPS. This is very disappointing news if you're a want to play football on the PS3.

I love 2k, but when it comes down to it i just want a great football game, if its APF or Madden. I got to say it feels good to be excited about a football game again .

After scoring on an eighty yard run with Ricky Williams, there was a cut scene of him on the bench receiving oxygen. He was holding the mask over his mouth and nose with the tank sitting next to him. Little things like that gave 2K5 the ultimate football atmosphere.

Thanks Scot. . . one of the reasons I made this thread was so that someone could show me that Madden is doing something. . . from what I've read & what I know it seems like it going to be the same game, with some little icons under the players . . . .THAT'S IT. . .even though I hate EA because of their shady dealings. . .if they make a dope game . . .I WILL BUY IT. . .(used). . .at the end of the day (for me) it's all about having fun. . .Feel me?
Scot Comment by Scot on June 20, 2007 at 6:59pm
You can only see replays from the current quarter
You can double at the line in Madden now
You can challenge bad calls with replay review in Madden 08
