You know the numbers that these Yearly $50 football game upgrades sell disgusts me. Don't people ever notice that they're buying more or less the same game every year?

tell me about it, bbobb...

5 games on that list are football games. God bless America.

We've all had this argument about 500 times before.

You only notice the changes if you're a fan. Just like to any RPG fan, every Street Fighter is the same game with one new character and faster speed.

If you're a football fan, and by that chart there are a million of them, the changes are huge and really make a difference.

Just do what I do- disregard the Sports games since they really don't count. Sports game fans are often different creatures from videogame fans. Nothing wrong with that either...

Is this the first cross platform football title that Sega has up against Madden? Sorry to see they got smoked. I'm hoping Sega can give EA a little run for their money, even if I'm not a football fan.

Yeah. It has degenerated from NFL2K1 on the Dreamcast selling more copies than Madden 2001 on the Playstation 2 to this.

I expect Mario Sunshine to have sold (in the US) about 600,000 by now...

Yeah, Sega got smoked by EA. And the GC is probably the last console to get if you're into sports.

::hugs GC tighter::

Yes, that argument makes as much sense as saying "hey, king of fighters 2001 is just like 2000... just with minor upgrades."

I guess I shouldn't be too hard on you, you did take a picture of your copy of stretch panic...

Nice avatar and name, Tonic. :)
