if you listen closely, you can hear a man in Ohio screaming like a 12 year old girl at a Hannah Montana concert.

j/k Brian.

Can I come over and play? Do you like the new name? I decided to drop all pretense and go straight fanboy! As much as I'm looking forward to your product Ian, it's a fraction of the anticipation I have for Fifa.

Man you got me off-topic with the whole Fifa thing. So can you deliver a deep experience for both? I'm wondering if there's enough room in the Inn for both camps. How do I put it tactfully? Franchise is as deep as a pond in the Sahara. Head Coach isn't designed to fill the gap, and my mortal enemies, the Online Crew, will fight me tooth and nail for Online Franchise space. How do we all get our game? Or do we get half-realized ideas compromised by inherent media, resource ans computing limitations? Do tell, please. And if that disk doesn't need a debug unit, I'll take that, too.

That's not even funny, Gannon! It's true, but not funny! LOL

Ian get prepared to receive a bunch of PM's from Brian asking you about Fifa '09.

Hey, what can I say, your excitement over the Fifa series has me now reading about '09 and looking to snag a copy of '08 on sale.

in an attempt to get the thread back on topic since I took it off topic. Ian, its great to see that you view these things in the same manner as we do that they should be standard features in the game and not something that we should have to pay extra for.

I personally think we'll be able to deliver for the solo players and online players. We did pretty well in this area on the PS2 days and we've learned a lot since then.
