Oh, and about the Playmaker system, don't you love the commercial where they have various players saying what a "playmaker" is, and Adam Vinateri says a playmaker "makes the big kick." Then Ray Lewis says "kickers will speak when spoken to!"

By any chance does anyone know where we can see player ratings, cuz all I can find are team ratings.
P.S. When is PGC gonna give its review of the game, and who is doing the review?

i love the playmaker thing the most though- controling lineman to block for you in the open field- genius
you can also change reciever's routes, change play direction, or even control the defense in some ways
i own ncaa 2004 and i love that game- madden to me is better, but ncaa has so much in it
i cant wait to see madden- i have had mine pre-ordered since july so they better get in soon

To make my say, I'm so damn excited about this game. I pre-ordered from Gamestop.com and those dirty SOB's better get my game to me soon.
The thing I'm most excited about is the Owner mode. So many options. But the Playmaker controls will rock as well. Pre-snap and post. And...the DB's don't suck!
Now Madden 2005 may be the game that people pass on. I mean, what else could they possibly add? Of course, having said that, I'm sure I'll still buy it.

If you dont like sports games you will never understand the subtle differances that go into the new versions, to people who love sport the differances from year to year are plentiful. To those who would rather call names, go back to your pokemon crap and STFU.

QuoteWhy would they? As of right now, they don't have any competition.
Its a wonder EA didnt do the same. Anyways im glad they didnt.

It's not really that complicated, though. Maybe it's just me, though. I'm a big stat nerd and a control freak.
And...I like Pokemon. It's no Yu-gi-Oh mind you but still cool nonetheless.

I really think that assumption is wrong. I'd say the GC has just as big a percentage of sports fans as the other consoles. The reason they don't sell as well is because many GC owners also own other systems and as we all know, most of the time when a sports game is released on all 3 systems the PS2 and X-Box games are usually better (more stats, less memory card issues, etc). Not everytime mind you but enough to have already created the perception that it's always true. Not to mention online features which can be a big selling point with sports games.

i just got madden on my ps2 because of that reason- and i love this game!
the graphics are better than 2003 (which is hard to believe) and the game runs more smoothly
i did get ncaa 2004 on my gc though as i like the feel of the gc controler better for that game (z button pitch is very nice)
but madden is a great game and feels very fresh thanks to the playmaker controls (which work beautifully) and the owner mode- i get to set prices of cheesesteaks for my eagles!!!!! (oh yeah and beer....)
Post by: greenwood on August 13, 2003, 07:48:47 PM
I think that, combined with the memory card issues and possible controller issue add up.
I think part of the reason so many people love the DS2 is that they've played with it for so long. How many years ago did Sony come out with the first Dual Shock? You just get used to it. I'm not saying the DS2 is a bad controller or even just an average controller, not by any means, it's a really good controller but I prefer the GCN controller.
I'm keeping this positive (no use dwelling on the few little negatives about this game) and I want to mention a few of the little things that I think are really great.
-being able to switch packages out with one button press
-replays being shown while you pick your plays, it helps speed things up
-accelerated clock option, can help if you play long games
-the color of your players (on the picking plays screen) changing to show you their energy level (I know this isn't new but I still like it)
There's more but that's enough for now.

Wow! We all know the Lions stink--hopefully they turn it around this year. As a Michigander, I feel it is my duty to stick by the one and only Lions!!!
Going to pickup Madden today. I haven't actually owned a version of Madden since Madden 64 though I have played the PS2 version a lot.
So which version should I get, the Gamecube or XBox?? I am inclined to go with the Gamecube as I like the controller better but favor the Xbox because I don't want to purchase another memory card. I already have 3, 251 memory block cards and the Xbox HD has oodles of space.
