Thanx Xrams, that info is helpful. I know a while back someone on the 2k forums had a detailed breakdown & comparision of 2K5 & Madden as relates to sale for PS2 & XBox. That's what I was looking for.

You can see why EA bought the NFL, NCAA football, AFL and ESPN licenses.

Sports... It's more than obvious... and here the thing, I know that peeps think is usless to boycott EA... but up until they did this low down dirty, coward like stunt... I did buy other EA product... I was reading the review of the (Superman) video game they made... dude I want that shiit sooo bad it's killing me.... but I just won't support EA's tactics... they are killing innovation in the sports gaming genre..!!!!!

Ah, brings back fond memories of my pot-smoking days, sigh...

Keep up with the personal anti-EA campaign. I never buy anything by them unless it's second-hand. Then they don't get any $ off the sale. Might not accomplish much, but it sures feels good.

Trust me, this s*** will eventually hurt them, there are alot of people, that are not going to buy there s***. Little buy little it's going to add up. That's why they keep trying to do things to appeal to 2K gamers & Sim gamers in general (same thing, right?). I heard that last year Madden sold something like a few hundred thousand less (with no competetion, Blitz doesn't count). That's why I made this thread, so I can find out exact numbers.

baa... you do know that I spit my gum out reading your 1st line...!!!


EDit... you know baa... it's funny... EA is like a pusher, they cut the product so much that you don't really get a good high from their games... that's why their games have no/zero re-playability......
