I just played MLB 2006 for the PS2. What a fantastic baseball game. I was absolutely astonished to hear 989 had crafted it. I hope EA doesn't buy up the baseball licence.

Err, actually Take Two bought up the MLB license for all third party development. First party can still make MLB games, but EA can't.Quote:

I generally get one game per generation because I see no point in constantly updating, and I haven't had Madden as that one game since Genesis. On PSX it was GameDay '98, DC I had 2k1, and then I got 2k4 for Xbox (upgraded to 2k5 thanks to a sweet pricetag). In other words, I don't have faith in them.Quote:

Also, from what I read, it didn't sound like they'd have anything this year (meaning 2005, something might come down the road, but I'm thinking they're taking the time off).Quote:

This is the last Madden before the new generation of consoles so Tiburon took the opportunity to try out a bunch of new things that just didn't work out. Sup QB cone.
I'm not picking it up this year but I came to that decision months ago. NCAA is just too good. I expect next years Madden to be up to snuff.
PS: 2K has always been trash. It's gone now so let it go.

What? It only got an 8.8? Seriously, how low do your standards have to be to play trash like that? Obviously Tiburon didn't even try on this version, because the 360 will have less consoles in total worldwide by January than the PS2 version alone sold last year in the US. That's just sound business, anybody can see that's the case.
I expect it to get killed in sales, as NFL fans everywhere turn to FIFA.
