Saaaaaaame here.AstroLad said:Making the other team forfeit was the best (and always my #1 goal).
It always seems to come up every year as I clean out the game shelf...and we always give MLH a go.
Especially after seeing ESPN on Xbox, if a MLF came out and looked as real as that, but has bloodstained fields, great looking mine explosions, perhaps ragdoll physics when a player dies (in a not so rough manner), it would look so sweet.
MLH would look great too, imagine seeing the players underneat the ice floating in 3D
The ML universe could be expanded...with alien commentators (a colour commentator that you can't understand so you'd have subtitles underneath), alien crowds that throw gernades onto the ice and perhaps jump onto the ice, stadiums that are actually alive, etc.
I don't expect EA to make it ever again.

Yeah, since it's been over ten years the possibilities with the series just based on the gargantuan leap in technology alone are staggering. I guess the problem is EA didn't milk it right away and have just forgotten about it, though with the advent of the whole "Big" line, I think they would be able and willing to do crazy Mutant League titles. I'm still puzzled as to why Mutant League Basketball never came out.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
So this was more than just a sprite-replaced Madden clone? News to me.
Kind of a funny bit about the creator and lead programmer...Gil Cogate, the programmer behind it all, is now employed by Namco with both Pac-Man Worlds and Dead to Rights under his belt. The creator/lead designer, Michael Mendheim has done quite a bit of work for 3D0...including the (apparently canned) Four Horsemen game.

Sports games don't interest me in the least, but I'd be all over a Mutant League revival. MLF for the Genesis rocked.

So you're saying that Madden 2005 lets you bribe the refs, kill the players, and buy illegal gear?
Wow.

*snicker*. Oh man, I forgot about that. Which brings to mind - did anybody ever win a game by points? All I seem to remember were wins by attrition.

You're missing the point...GTA is mature content but it's not gory. Mutant League fans will demand decapitations, blood flowing, spiked deaths...limbs flying etc...under the guise of a sports game? I think the ratings board would kill the game off...althouhg Mortal Komabt can fly by...i don't know, I'm all for it...just i want it to go through.AstroLad said:

No, I understood your point completely. There's no need for it to be Goriest. Game. EVAR!!1 or anything. Comical violence is just fine, particularly when it's happening to monsters and skeletons. I don't quite think there would be a big outcry now over a football game where a skeleton shatters to pieces when you tackle him, but maybe that's just me.

it'll be no bloodier than time killers or bio freaks... decapitations, torso level body splits, dismemberments...
