Nice

I believe this year's ESPN will receive higher ratings from all online gaming sites and major publishing medias. I wouldn't be surprised to see Madden with ratings in the 80s and ESPN in the high 90s.

You're right, Madden gets a default score no matter what they did or did'nt do to the new version. I will puke if I read this more than once this year though...."Madden once again maintains it's crown, ESPN is good but still needs some work."

Yawn.....

Now this sounds impressive

JL: We added more to franchise this year than ever before. I can safely say that we have the deepest, most immersive franchise/career mode of any sports game on the market. We strive to make franchise a mirror of the NFL and we added tons of features this year to further realize that goal. Among the additions are restricted free agency, preseason position battles, real life free agency period, player personalities and morale, USA Today, email, EA Sports Radio, the ability to change a player’s position, team captains, players demanding playing time, weekly gameplans, practice in franchise, a PDA to manage players, a new, more informative team info screen, rivalries and last but not least…NFL Icons.
