chimpy2121 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 06:52 PM) The DS will be getting an online browser as well. Don't really see the point of a handheld browser though. I just can't wait to be playing Online Nintendo games for the first time ever. Yeah, to tell you the truth I was a little dissapointed in the PSP at first (well overall as a gaming system). The only reason I like it now is I use it as an I-pod and portable movie player. I actually play more emulated games on it instread of the PSP games. I absolutely love the browser cuz I can go online basically anywhere that as wireless internet. But everyone has their own opinions. If not for the browser, music, and videos the money towards the PSP would have been a huge waste.

SoxFan1 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 BACK ON THE TOPIC OF MADDEN 2006: I might get the game for my birthday but most likely not. I hear the QB Vision thing isnt as bad as 1st thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one song has a remix of it. I really like the soundtrack this year, usually they suck. I love QB Vision, now you cant scramble to the left and throw an 80 yard bomb right on the money to the right side of the field. I like the truck stick too, even though Benson fumbles a lot I give the game a 8/10 (NCAA is a 9.5/10 and probably made expectations for Madden higher for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'm still mad that EA had to purchase exclusive NFL, bc they couldnt compete with Sega's 2K series, which was absolutely phenomenal. This backfired on EA, when they lost the MLB rights to Sega, which screwed over my favorite baseball game. I guess the US gov't doesn't worry about videogame monopolies. f*** Madden, it's cartoonish, and the gameplay is arcady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox It To Em Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 02:51 AM) I'm still mad that EA had to purchase exclusive NFL, bc they couldnt compete with Sega's 2K series, which was absolutely phenomenal.

I guess the US gov't doesn't worry about videogame monopolies. f*** Madden, it's cartoonish, and the gameplay is arcady. While I'm the last person in line to ever defend EA, I must say you're giving EA a lot of undue blame. Contrary to popular belief, EA just didn't approach the NFL and try to work out an exclusivity deal. The NFL, wanting a quick cash-in, actually put their license for exclusive use up for bid, and several publishers, including Sega, tried to bid for it. EA just outbid them, having to do whatever they could to keep the Madden franchise. Ridiculous, I know, but the NFL is really who we should be blaming, not EA. I don't know the specifics on the MLB deal, but is sucks that there'll be no MVP. If I'm not mistaken, first party publishers can still release MLB games (S/N/M), so there will still be a MLB game from 989 next year. Rumor has it that the exclusivity deal actually doesn't start until a certain date next year, and that EA will try to release a MVP 2006 right before it starts, so we can have another year, or that they'll go to one of the first parties and have them publish it from now on. I have no idea though, these are just rumors, to take it for what it's worth. Madden has actually received significantly lower review scores this year than previous years, with many reviews citing that little to no changes or upgrades have taken place. In my opinion, this has always been the case for many sports series, including Madden (I still can't fathom how people will literally trip over each other every year in a rush to pay $50 for practically the same game they already own, except for a roster update, five new animations, and a new bobble head mini-game), but it looks as if EA has taken it to new heights. Knowing that they have virtually no competition, they can get away this scott free, and this looks to be the case for the next five years. I wouldn't be surprised if EA is already cutting development costs on next year's version, sadly.

Benchwarmerjim Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I LOOOVE the Truck Stick.

No, but he will be the star in Midway's upcoming game, Blitz: The League. It's basically Playmakers turned into a video game(which, actually, was the original name). You're an NFL player but there's a ton of off the field stuff. So you can become a star QB but fall on hard times for doing Crack. You know, basic stuff like that.

Kalapse Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Bought the game a few days ago, I personally like it, havn't had a lot of time to play it but I have played 4 games and after the 1st game I just turned off QB vision and am loving it. The truck stick rocks, if you learn how to use it properly you can really have fun running the ball. Superstar mode is kinda stupid especially when you have Terrell Davis stalking you, he left me like 15 voice mails on my cell over a 2 day period STALKER!
