ESPN R.I.P

Lets remind you...

While it is up to the admins, let it be pointed out as soon as the new year of games was upon us, the High Heat and ASB boards were wiped out very quickly, yet ESPN lives on. Those games and its fans were delegated to discussing them in the "Other" forum.

But if you wanna backtrack I'll stop standing in your way. Trying to talk your way out won't work though. It's extremely clear what your message was.

BTW, my thoughts were the same as coogrfan... all of this will just be in the madden forum.

I mean, who is really going to play ESPN online with old rosters? Who is really going to get a Action Replay and do all the roster updating. Finally, who will even care about XBOX games once they purchase a XBOX 360? Continuing to talk about ESPN is mindless babble. If I were some of you, I'd be getting my skills right on Madden 2005 so you can be ready for the online competition this fall. I know some of you will do like the NFL Fever guys and stretch this thing out. But can't you just let ESPN rest in peace?

You've got issues....
You posted a similar negative thread just 3 days before this one. Do you work for EA or are you starving for attention?

Whatever floats the boat. I guess the "up to the admins" and "post in the wrong forum" portions weren't enough for your tastes.

Either way, this is the most popular thread the forum has seen in a while. Take that as you wish (or spin it, same thing).

Actually, humpdump66's reaction to this has been a little sad. When the news of the exclusive deal first became public, he was one of the most vocal VC/TT supporters on the board:
http://forums.operationsports.com/vB...45#post1404945

When it became apparent recently that TT would not be releasing a football title this year, he seems to have done a complete 180, berating TT for wussing out and going after anyone who continues to maintain any hope for the future of the 2k series.

Well, I just wanna say...EA SPORTS will ALWAYS be Arcade...Always has...Always will! They target Mommys & Daddys pocketbook! When EA got the exclusive rights to the NFL, They killed thee best football sim Ever. And all you Madden fans can keep on dreamin' if you think your gonna get a sim from EA...3 words...Ain't Gonna Happen!

Why would we remove the ESPN Football forum? It's still the current football game, and unlike the makers of HH and ASB, T2 is still in business, and I know for a fact is still working on a football game. Just not one for the upcoming year.

And remind me again what make ESPN a sim? You do realize ESPN isn't a sim either right? A sim is a text based game found on the cpu...sorry I just thought you should know the facts and all.

Good news and make sense. Now, if T2 could come out with a patch that allow us to upload sliders and rosters online. Now, that would be priceless.
