Wow, after reading that, I currantly have the best headache I've ever had in my life. Simply amazing, I can't wait for this game to come out. As a matter of fact I think I'm going to Cryogenically freeze my self so that time seems to go by instantaniously. Just hope when I wake up it's not 500 years in the future.

<3 South Park.

Yeah, based on how it was worded in the blog, I think RFA was the "big announcement" mentioned by Rammer. Would it help if I teased you with my customary "there are still a few morsels of goodness out there" line? Because there are...

Afterall a lot of this stuff is like a foreign language.

Good suggestion and I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think there is. I'll pass it along... maybe I'll even attempt to write something once I have a chance to reacquaint myself with BAGM.

lol, will be fun doing franchise.

imagine if you could pull off a 2nd pick and old player you're letting go to UFA at end of season for a RFA who you'll let go and they end up getting you a 1st,2nd and 3rd round pick in RFA.

Yeah, EA's casual gamers who've been asking for RFA might not understand.

Lets put it this way, I am no casual gamer and there is a lot about RFA that I don't understand...and I'm sure I'm not the only hardcore guy in the same boat.

There are a lot more fruits besides just the typical apples and oranges, Fiddy.

I'm sure there are even casual EA gamers who understand the RFA rules better than a lot of the hardcore guys. Wanna know why??? Because they are serious NHL hockey fans.

Just because you are a serious NHL gamer doesn't mean you are also an expert on league rules. What about all those sim players around the world who don't even follow the NHL but play a sim style of hockey???

There are a lot of serious NHL fans who play these games for fun...casually...not to whine and complain about them or compare them to some other game.
