I wouldn't wait on specific days like that. It's a setup for a letdown when you do. We'll hear something definitive soon I'm sure.

The Air Raid. I like that name. See, why couldn't APF have names like that instead of the "Yeti" and the "Porpoises"? (Porpoises! *shudders*)

I'm sorry my friend, but I have zero faith in the NFL to do the right thing, and I have less faith than that in Tiburon making a game I can enjoy and be proud of.

Sometimes only having one choice makes it easier on the consumer who may be afraid that they might choose a football game they may not like. I know I enjoy only having one choice...mostly because when I have multiple choices I always end up picking the wrong one.

I know in my mind more competition is better, but I take a look at the sports video landscape today, and ask, is more better?

Why?

How many multiple sports games are out there currently?

There is 1 baseball game, and one in the works no one knows about. There is one hockey game and barely 2 basketball games.

Is there enough interest out there to support multiple sports games?

Seems like one sports game obliterates the competition and the other games don't have a leg to stand on and are no longer in business.

If there is anyone to blame it is the NFL and how they conduct exclusive licenses. And BTW if you think 2k5 or APF are better than Madden 25 (especially next gen), then you're just crazy biased.

I liked the firt paragraph but not the second. Until I can put the ball where I want (actual total control passing) in Madden, then no I can't agree

This would be even harder to do.
