Then & Now Madden Football Turns 20 (Gamespot)

[Klocker]

Gamespot has posted an article entitled, Then & Now Madden Football Turns 20. They discuss the 20 year evolution of Madden football.

Quote:

"That's right, with the release of Madden NFL 09, John Madden Football is turning 20. So what better time than the present to look back at all the things that made Madden Football one of the most powerful forces in gaming? Of course, 20 years is a long time, so rather than go too far in depth and provide a feature that might take two decades to read, we'll provide you with some striking sales figures, our signature Then and Now image comparisons, and a video outlining the series' greatest innovations."

yea, I showed my step-son (13yo) who has been playing Madden since 2003, the pics of the first Maddens and he nearly gouged his eyes out. I reminded him just what a spoiled graphics and features snob he is.


I had some of my most fun football games with Madden in the 90's ever... fun stuff... although I was also a big Montana sports talk football guy too.

"Back in my day, the controllers only had three buttons and there wasnt any sliders or nothin, you couldnt save your season, and they didnt even have the real numbers on the back of the jersey...you kids got it too good today."

We did have the ambulance though, and they can never take that away from us!

Double F say's this, I owned every single one of those Maddens, and I don't care what people say, "Please patch this" BLAH BLAH BLAH, this and that the colors on the paints are wrong, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, the jox strap is to small for my favorite player, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BOTTOM LINE is, we have come a long freaking way. I can say this because I been on this Madden ride for the last 20 years and I know a lot of others have too. So Love EA or Hate them, right or wrong, I say Congrafreakinlations EA on 20 years of Football video game greatness.

Put that in your sig.
