I'm not disgruntled about anything. I don't know what being a fan of a team has to do with this discussion at all. Of course, that's typical ******* raider fan logic.

We (Consolefootball.com) were not part of the EA Community showing of the NCAA/Madden games down at Tiburon. We were given necessary paperwork only 2 weeks ago to gain entry into the Community program, so it was far too late for me and/or Bangpow to be included in the viewing of this year's games down in FLA. (We definitely hope to be involved in next year's viewing.) But we were told by EA to consider ourselves "in the program." (Though obviously not in time for this week's event.) The NDA agreements are pretty strict though. There's so very little that the people who were at the viewing can actually say that most of them have chosen to say nothing. From what I understand, sometime in mid April, EA will allow some of the info out, and then that select info can be talked about by the people who were there. So, even from our friends at the other sites who did attend, there's really no info to share. We might get some vague "impressions", but even with that, they have to be extremely cautious. I dont' even ask those guys anything, because I know its an uncomfortable situation for them till the "gag" is removed on the date that EA specifies. From all that I have seen, many who went there were expecting to be allowed to share SOME relevant info once they got back, but the NDA they had to sign was pretty comprehensive, from my understanding. So alot of sites that said "We'll be back with some info", actually came back and had to say "Sorry fellas, not till mid April." For you ESPN fans, I'll also tell you that I have been pressing a friend who is very close to guys on the VC development team for any info about if they are making a football game. Curiously, he responds to all of my emails, except the ones that have anything to do with any request for any inside info/hint on what VC is gonna do. Those go unanswered completely. He doesn't even offer an opinion on the matter, and avoids all references to my questions completely. I don't know what that means- but I can say that it does make me somewhat hopeful for a future VC/Take Two football product.

Thanks Cool. The whole TT silence thing has me thinking the same thing. I think if they are going to do something, E3 will be the launching pad.

WOW you own Madden 2005, This coming from a guy that I thought would never touch Madden with a 10 foot pool. Or thats what you made all of us believe. I can't seem to remember you talking about anything good about Madden 2005, or even thought you ever owend it. You always were a NFL2k/ESPN guy, when did you have the change of heart, Im just curious thats all, don't take anything I'm asking or saying to heart.

Lol I actually got it as a christmas present. I have played all the madden's before but I would never buy them. I've put some time in this year's madden and I didn't like it. I even started a franchise in but I just couldn't get into it.

I know QC already answered this, but no, we were not part of the Madden/NCAA invite. As QC stated, we have recently been accepted into the program, but not in time to attend that event.



Oh, and i am out of town right now. I am currently sitting in my hotel room in Hollywood, FL for work. So, I was a week late a few miles away from where the viewing was being held.
