Re: Mini Madden Marathon (MMM)
 

Soiler,

I disagree, b/c your method takes out the gamble.

I suggest each person pushes R2 (or whatever button scrolls through the teams randomly) 3 times having their choice of one of the 3 teams.

This allows one team to get completely screwed which is always good times.

rooni,

if you are gonna go the random route. i suggest only 2 tries. and if you opt to use your second try, you are not allowed to go back and use your first team. talk about gamble!

Thats cool, just call me eric, or behemoth, or big dude.. whatever.

The story goes like this... for two years in a row, nfl2k franchise's games sold at 20 dollars a pop.. and they were better. More balanced, more fun, the works (and Im a converted madden freak, so Im not just bs'ing). For years the madden guys had just updated the roster, without adding anything new. Then when nfl2k started making noise, they included the playmaker thing, but 2k still cut into their profits.

So last year, they signed a deal with the nfl stating that they were the only company that could make an nfl game. As a programmer, I see this as pussying out of a challenge.

Its like if I challenged rustedcorpse to a dave's insanity sauce drink-off, but instead, he just made a deal with Dave's that stated he was the only one who could drink.

Yeah, its like that, except without burning poop.

Anyways, its all good, Im just a game programmer who hated this move.

So are yall going for random or have you decided on teams?

I lost a bet to pizownored over thanksgiving... the terms were ridiculous though.

I gave him 42 points and he could choose the teams. I pretty much had to go to these extreme lengths to get him to play because I always wipe the floor with him.

He made me play with an NFL Europe team while he took the 1988 49ers.

He ended up beating me outright. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I havent played video games since college, am I wrong to say that Gameday was better (like the game you described) than Madden? I always enjoyed it much more.

this is pretty much the only way I'll play with any of my friends, as I stopped playing alot of sports games once I started programming... weird.

NFL europe? that isnt even a team.
