	"What does it mean to bring an 8th man into the box? If you're looking for the correct answer, you're more likely to receive it from an EA SPORTS Madden NFL player than from someone who doesn�t play Madden. EA SPORTS, a label of Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today the results of a new survey by the University of Oregon�s Warsaw Sports Marketing Center, that determined fans who play the Madden NFL video game series are more knowledgeable about the game of football than people who don�t play the game. The survey found that Madden NFL players� football IQ was 60 percent higher than people that don�t play Madden. The study, which surveyed over 15,000 EA SPORTS Madden NFL players and NFL fans, tested respondents in five categories of football knowledge: Game Situations, General Knowledge, History, Rules and Business of Sport. �It�s amazing to see how much football knowledge Madden NFL players have especially when you compare it to people that follow and know the sport well,� said Paul Swangard, Managing Director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon. �We also found the more time they spent playing EA SPORTS Madden NFL the higher they scored on the survey."

Is there any game out now that has bots do something that was not programmed into their minds?
