If this is truly the Last Madden, I think I've got an idea

[snivlem]

What i'd like to see if EA turns to Fox, is multiple broadcast booths.

Like different broadcast teams every once in a while.

for example, one game, you get the #1 crew with Aikman, Buck, Collinsworth, and then for another game you get #2 with Johnston and Dick Stockton.

And if your team is really spare, you'd get Sam Rosen and Bill Maas.

Umm hello excuse me Madden works for ABC right now, its already rivaling them.

And I see more talk and commercials advertising Madden on ESPN, heck even the SportsCenter guys say madden is the best football game. Heck even the Banner in front says EA Sports on Sportscenter and on Bermans show.

wake up and smell the coffee this is a video game buisness.

And im not too sure that Sega will keep the ESPN tag if Madden leaves I say
EA Sports will offer more and take it.

thats a good idea but it would cost way too much money to have 7 people doing audio for a game.

I think that's a really cool idea man. They could just fold up the plays and add them as a box insert (like grand theft auto did with the maps). It would add to the realism, and you could use different words for audibles.

After that you can ask for trades and so on or ask for more money. For gameplay, you will have a camera that is not really zoomed in on you but sort of, like sometyhing like Socom US NAVY SEALS style, and you have to follow you routes/blocks. Also you won't be playing defense, you will just be playing you position and if you are a second string, you can watch teh game or simulate it. After all I think this will be a cool addition, but theyre will still be regular franchise which we all love.

this would prolly be as cool and innovative as franchise was when it came out! This would prolly sell me on Madden, something that hasn't been done for the last two years. My last Madden game was 2003, and I thought about it this year, but unemployment kind of directed my buying this year.

Not bad...the more authentic you can make it, the better.

It was called EASN. They were sued by ESPN, but it worked out well for EA. Part of the settlement was free advertising on the network.
