Where did he say he was going to end it all? He said the world would end. That wouldnt be his choice. So if he goes you go.

From what I have heard from a few people I know who will be contributing to Madden 11 next year, Next years Madden should be a game for the community.

Lets be honest here, they are going to do it eventually. Not this year or maybe not even next but M12 i believe will topple 2k5. Hey i can handle updated rosters for the next 2yrs

I see myself playing NFL 2k5 less this year. I would love to see a newer version but, that is life.

I guess these things come down to what one considers "toppling." M12 will have better graphics, will include cutscenes and also improved/advanced franchise features. But if the EA developers still plan on using that same inferior last-gen game engine that only allows them to create stuff like "gang tackles" by pasting together animations of D players attaching themselves to the ballcarrier the way flies attach themselves to a pile of sh*t, then no, I wouldn't call that toppling 2K5, not even close.

Yeah i agree, but i do think that if and that is a big if they nail gameplay well this year then next yr and the one after that will be spent on animations and fixing that god awful looking running as well as a presentation upgrade because even though they have included some this yr it is certainly not up to the standard of this game.
