Now that I know they are releasing a game this Summer, I think their announcement should have been made a little bit later. That way, they can boast up and cram media and deploy a huge hype machine like there's no tomorrow. But hey... whatever gets the word out better, right? They better advertise the living hell out of this game, especially on T.V. (Superbowl? NFL Draft?).

I think they do it to build up steam. The thing is that they need to get the seed planted, then they slowly roll out the information until they bombard us with greatness up to the day they release. It's kind of like NBA 2K7 or MLB 2K7. They release it real small like a water ballon. Then they slightly trickle more around. Most likely they'll give the different publications different information and media to keep people jumping through the different sites. You best believe that EA might be pulling an extreme push this year. I definitely wonder what it'll look like.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it's running, though... it's just more or less a thing to note us of updates at the moment.

Finally, some next gen football !!!!!!!!

VC you made a grown man smile. I have been waiting for this thread for a very long time. Just looking for something other than speculation. This really made my day. I am sooo looking forward to league games, vip, and maybe a lil first person football.

My time will not allow me to play a ton because I am expecting my 3rd child. Good stuff.

You're saying what the games said the last battle.......

My girl just told me she got extremely jealous because of this. I feel bad, yet so good at the same time.

I actually see March Madness actually being a good time to run a few spots.

Why do I feel like singing ding dong the witch is dead, get out bed. Now we will finally get a decent Madden football game. Watch. Those missing features will rush back to their next gen titles.
