And for the people who are on my side, we as Madden fans will never win aganist these 2k fanbots that just sit on boards and talk sh** about Madden becasue they don't have 2k5 to play anymore.Im suprised that nobody on this board has had the balls to step up and say "I like madden". Well I'll say it " I like Madden and Madden 09 will be great".

          Re: Madden 09 Will be Special

          I am not a 2k fanbot or an EA kissa*** but I'm old enough to know whats going on. I've played every madden, nfl gameday, ncaa football game, and 2k game and next gen madden was crap. Madden was the first football game I owned when I had a sega genesis and it was fun. Now they add all this "fluff" and force feed it down everyones throat. Now it aint even fun anymore. Give me some mike ditka football or some tecmo bowl.

              Thats my opinion of what the game will be like just like yall think its going to be sh**....We'll see when aug. comes around, you'll be the first people in line to buy Madden when it comes out. Im tired of the sh** that Madden fans get just because we like the game.

                Who are you talking about? I haven't bought a Madden game since the Genesis days.

                  then like the game. Even though gamers like you get insulted, at least you have your game to play.

                  While people shouldn't be coming into the madden forum calling EA a cancer, even you can understand why people who like a different game are upset. EA not only smacked 2k to the dark and unprofitable streets of generic football by snatching up every relevant football license, they are now going to buy them and kill them off.

                  There's at least 250k people who liked APF enough to buy it new, which isn't even a threat to Madden sales at this point. People are just mad right now. 2k will be gone soon, and madden will be around for awhile.

                    Please try to refrain from bypassing the language filter in every post. I know you're upset.

                        I agree with most of what you are saying, but I thought the final word was that the NFL approached EA to buy the license. Am I wrong or depends who you wish to believe?

                          Most media outlets reported that the NFL approached EA and the idea of going exclusive, but then EA went and snatched up every other known football source. Kinda makes you wonder .

                              for many people, all that matters is that EA has the eggs, it doesn't matter how they got them. Sure, the NFL approached EA. EA then made additional moves to keep 2k from putting out a licensed football game. 2k then overreacted and wasted money on the MLB license, then waited years before starting on a rushed generic football game.

                              So 2k has had their own problems, but EA was more than an innocent party in the NFL suddenly choosing to go exclusive. In defense of EA, they aren't buying TT for 2k alone, they just are lumped in the package, basically worthless to EA besides a few developers they'll take.

                                According to this,it was EA that "planted the seed"......

                                The deal, one EA admits to having lobbied for over the past few years, is an exclusive five-year licensing deal granting EA the sole rights to the NFL's teams, stadiums, and players. However, the publisher and Players Inc. denied a similar deal was in the works in May 2004, even requesting publications that ran the story run public retractions.
                                Five-year contract gives EA sole rights to the NFL, including teams, players, and stadiums. Take-Two reacts, calling it a "tremendous disservice to the consumers."


                                But the Madden 2005 game was seriously challenged by NFL 2K5, thanks to good reviews and a pricing war. NFL 2K5 was available in stores in July for $19.95. For three months, the Madden game was priced at $49.95, until the company finally relented on Nov. 8 and lowered it by $20.
                                http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/sport...ory?id=1945691

                                But 2004 brought competition like EA had not experienced before. Take Two Interactive teamed up with Sega and ESPN to offer "ESPN NFL 2K5," which critics said was as good, if not better, than "Madden". Beyond that, the game was priced at a rock-bottom $19.99 (which EA finally matched on Nov. 8).



                                Kind of coincidental huh? They face the competition,but instead of improving,they simply lock up exclusivity.
                                TBH....I have not seen ONE thing in Madden games that called for exclusivity.
                                As for the cats that say "09 is going to be great"...my question to you is, why do you think that?
                                This "wait till next year" mentality has been going on well since last gen....what makes you think 09 will be any different?
                                People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.
