Sorry.
What WON'T be in the Announcement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can tell you that we won't have:
- Cross platform play. Sony and Microsoft will never allow it. Playing PC and a console is still problematic with cheating (on the PC side).
- No challanging calls online either...
Sorry for the wait guys but hopefully it will be worth it.

Guileless said:lol I just saw the new Madden commercial on ESPN (of course). It shows the Ravens playing the Titans, and then before a play Ray Lewis looks at the camera and yells stuff like "summer vacation is over" and "time to get out of the pool" or something to that effect. Then EA Guy starts talking while Ray crushes a Titan RB.

Fifty said:Keep dreaming. Maybe Cmac will actually play like himself in this game, and not like a mindless drone as they did in ESPN.

Keep your eyes on IGN.com this afternoon for the article and press release.
marino13: passing defense is entirely different than NCAA. In NCAA, the DB's have superhuman recovery speed (in my opinion), and I couldn't exploit a hole properly. Not so in Madden so far. I've seen a matchup I wanted and gotten the result I expected. I've played zones on defense and shut offenses down...then I had the Rams starters come in and proceeded to have Holt, Bruce, and Faulk/Jackson light me up. So far I've had a nice mix, and never felt cheated in the passing game.
NJL: Well, I've played about 45 games of ESPN, and only 4 of Madden. However, so far Madden is my choice. I've been a fan of ESPN since its inception on Dreamcast, but this year I feel they faked some momentum through animations and did some bizarre alterations to the DB AI that really start to upset me. It's hit or miss, as sometimes I have a lot of fun in ESPN, and other times I want to throw my controller through a wall as my safety tries to jump a ball with a horrible angle and gives up 6 in a full cover 2, nice "safe" defense. If I had to pick 1 game right now, it would be Madden, and that's very strange for me.
Mintsa: NO SLOWDOWN while running the rock, or any other time that I've seen. I couldn't stand it in NCAA, so I was definitely happy. Haven't tried online yet, nobody's been on when I checked the lobbies
Wsv771: XBox version DOES have custom soundtracks. Not in-game like ESPN's stadium music, but when you're flipping through music you can hear any tunes you have on your XBox as your background music. 'Bout time, too.
August 05, 2004 - If EA's announcement of joining Xbox Live was the worst kept secret in the industry, then its announcement of launching online leagues free of cost to consumers for both the PS2 and Xbox might have been the best.
think the good news is for users that Dodge stepped up and paid for the development team for this year, and we'll see how it goes going forward.
