  • I predict that ESPN Football will sell about 1/15th as much as Madden, even at the $20 price point

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>If I get an ankerin' for a sports game, I just buy the one or two year old one. It's dirt cheap for those and there's usually not a huge difference. And since I only play them every few years, they're new to me :-)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Since it wasn't mentioned, EA has negotiated exclusive rights to the NFL and NFLPA. Therefore, no other football game will have the teams, players, stadiums, etc. That's HUGE for EA</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>It's actually bad for football games, because ESPN kept getting better, Madden had something to try and step their game up because, now that the competition has been delt a crushing blow, they can relax again.</div>
