Features that were in Maddens previous to 06 were not in 06. Those features were missing, no matter what reason is given, those features are missing from that game. Not sure why that is hard to understand.

I loved Front Page Sports Football and baseball. I found and installed an old copy of FPS FB on my new Windows 7 64. Brought back great memories. Then they (Sierra) just had problems with there 99 version and discontinued all sports games except the hook and bullet sports. I was greatly disappointed.

Most I'll do about a game that hasn't been released yet is say I'm not optimistic. And that is usually going by track record. Criticizing a game before it's out is silly, just like hailing it the next coming of Jesus before it's out is silly. Though I do go by track record, like I'm really excited about Skyrim cause Oblivion and Fallout 3 where so good, especially with all the nexus mods you can get.

rude personal attacks toward developers should NEVER happen. Constructive criticism of the game and the direction a game has taken is OK, but not personal attacks on devs. 100% agree.

Cool, again, I think were done.

Actually, this is the way, even with differing points of view, things should be discussed.

Take Care dude.

Yeah that pretty much sums me up too. 2K4 was still my most favoured experience in an NFL football game since 95 on the Sega or 98 on the PSX. 08 PC holds a special place. M12 is the first console release I've been interested in at all for a long long time.

With all due respect, I disagree.

That is not surprising.

I hate to dog on skyboxer because he's defended me in the past but man, the game needs help, big time help, I'm just sick of EA when it comes to Madden. Someone really has to call them on this game which is just not getting it done..

Happy for Phil. As much **** as I've given all of these guys, at the end of the day, it's never personal. Despite what's been said around here at times Phil has always been a good guy and a big football fan. Good luck to him and all of the other guys that have left the team.
