March Madness 06 Impressions

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

It was memory limitations last year, that was EA's reasoning. Remember, this game is made on the PS2 and then ported to the Xbox. I'm sure someone is already trying, so we'll find out soon enough. If it was me, I would start naming every guy like A, and then see if you eventually hit a wall. Last year it was around 300 players. 323 or something?

Scott, your idea about Mr. "A" is a good one. What was doubly frustrating about last year's limitation is that no one knew it at first, and when you would type one place beyond all of your previous work was lost (at least that happened to me).

Some people could've lived with the limit had they known not to exceed it at first.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm sure someone's going to try it, but I know that I wouldn't be looking up and entering every team for real only to have it happen 2 years in a row. I would run some sort of test first.

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

Yea...no real schedule...not even worth buying.

I'd like to get an opinion from someone who owned MM05 and 06 as well as CH2k5 and just get some comparisons.

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

I'm not even going to bother. Some features look good, like in dynasty mode, but if there's still no real schedules and generic tournament sites, this is a no purchase for me.

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

Don't hand me that crap, EA. If you can put thousands of names into NCAA Football, then you can surely put several hundred into the March Madness series. I always get excited and run out to buy the college bball games, only to have EA's let me down every time. Like the lemming I am, I'll probably cave in and get this at some point as well.

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

I was thinking about picking this up but it appears they have done nothing to the game except add the "lockdown stick" so I'm going to pass on this game.

How can they not have the real team schedules for the first year? Isn't that kind of ridiculous?

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

Sorry to sound impatient, but can someone go ahead and please confirm or deny the ability to edit rosters? I would like to get this game in a few hours, but I'd like to know if this has been fixed ahead of time.

Thanks.

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

I'm with you on that one if limited rosters are the case, no $40 bucks from me. I have to believe that EA has to be taking a loss on this so-called game

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

LOL...alright.

If you have it, you realize they do have real schedules. Two post above though, you stated no games has them. That's simply not true.

Re: March Madness 06 Impressions

The thing that bugs me is why take out the export draft class feature you would figure since it was in last year and 04 why take it out for 06 probably not a big deal though
