EA Buys Euphoria? (Gameplayer)

Not going to happen.

1. EATib has already experimented with the engine in Madden 08, it didn't work out.

2. Ian has repeated ad naseum that he's not convinced the technology is ready for the elite sports game arena.

I, for one, am with him. If backbreaker turns out amazing, I'll be in the chorus calling or EA to switch too it, but I haven't seen it yet. I have seen a watered down version (In Madden 08)fail, but hey, maybe that's on EA, so we'll see.

I'm reserving judgment on Backbreaker until I've played it, but I've seen nothing very impressive.

Lets hope EA doesn't get the rights to this, they try to do too much and wind up eFFing things up. I really hope they lose their exclusive rights license. We need a better alternative for our football games, EA has had 20 years to get it right, they are barely half way there, its a disgrace. We need another company to make football games.

PS: I'm not saying they wont buy the engine... EA would buy exclusive rights to bananas if they thought it'd improve their market share... but you wont see it in an EA game anytime soon.

Aaaaaaand with that, the thread goes bye-bye. Must we rehash this same stupid point every five minutes?
