Sadly It's Over

There are so many possibilities with a combination of legends and playbooks. I'm actually learning that my current defense is better suited to the 4-3, so I'll have to add more 4-3 plays to my playbook. I just love how modular this game is.

Agreed. While I hope that this game is made every year, the number of permutations already available, on top of the excellent gameplay foundation, means that this game will be playable for some time. A stats person should do the calculations on the number of possible teams that you can create in this game--and remember, each team will need its own custom playbook, should be tested in practice and season modes, as well as online. Viva APF!

This is one of those time where I wish I was sickeningly rich. I'd buy enough copies of this game to feed a poor, plastic-eating country just to insure that I saw a new iteration next year.

what i dont understand is how the licensing works? if take two paid for the legends did they pay for their name and likeness or just the likeness? cause alot of those legends are in madden

EA has an exclusive license with the NFL & NFLPA I believe. The legends are individuals so can be in both.

VC paid for their appearance in the game, but EA owns the right to the NFL, and thus the NFL Hall of Fame.

I believe it is the PRO football hall of fame, not just the nfl hall of fame.

This whole "you like madden you fanboy" "no 2k is better you loser" "you're just biased because you like madden" and so and so back and forth is pathetic. Sad stuff.

What's even more sad may be including this lament, out of the blue, in a thread where that's not even happening.
