EA Sports Had Plans For Madden to Return to PC with Madden NFL Online

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports had plans to bring back Madden on the PC, but not they way you would have liked. According to Kotaku, they were looking to deliver a browser-based game, but it never materialized.

Quote:

EA Sports, which ended publication of Madden NFL for the PC in 2008, evidently had plans to return to that platform through a browser-based game sometime in 2010, according to mockups created by a former staff designer. The label was serious enough about the project to build a working, mouse-driven interface for the game's console engine.

It doesn't sound like it will happen, but would this interest you at all?

Browser based ? Not interested.......Give me a full game on a disc that I can play on my PC, that way I can mod the hell out of it and make it better then the way they designed it.

I think a text-based Madden football game (similiar to Strat-O-Matic) could work. On defense you could pick your play, hot route some guys, and then pinch the line. On offense, you could do the same and then let the engine generate the outcome.

Lame idea. Bring THE FULL GAME back to the PC. I want madden not some browser based Sodoku knock off.

Yes, please bring it back to the PC. I'm still playing 08 actually because it's pretty much the same damn product as 12 on consoles.

Yeah, or an OOTP-type game for NFL football.

None for me. Either put out the real (full) game or don't bother.
