Gaming Madden 25

[Dirty Bird]

I'd imagine it would be a current player that gets the most votes, as much as I'd like to see an old legend there.

The final will come down to oldschool vs newschool.
new school will be RGIII. The Redskin bandwagon will make sure of it. Them and Chief fans are the only 2 fan groups who are mind-dead enough to vote their guy through. But enough neutrals will get RGIII there that no one stands a chance.

Old school is interesting. I doubt enough neutrals will jump on allowing Portis through as my post earlier today thought. I think the winner of Montana/Barry Sanders in the Old School semi-finals will win that.

If it's Montana vs RGIII - I think RGIII will win.
If it's Sanders vs RGIII - I think Sanders will win.

Or, they may just do what they did on NCAA 13 and put both Sanders and RGIII on the cover

I so hope all the voters deliberately make the guys like delhomme etc beat out the hofers.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I actually want my 2nd favourite non-Boise alum, non-Falcon on the cover.

Give us Tedy Bruschi!!!!!! (My fav non-Boise, non-Falcon is Adam Vinatieri)

 

[LeverPuller]

I'd like Sanders or Montana. That said, it'll probably be RGIII.

Also, Seahawks for highest-rating team?

 

[exe ex machina]

Nah niners will be highest rated team

 

[Chadwiko]

Redskins fans are actively voting against RGIII due to the curse.

[Blacky]

Aren't they just going to put both winners on the cover?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Aren't they just going to put both winners on the cover?

It's what I expect.
Here's hoping it's Sanders and RGIII.
They look good together don't they:

 

[larkis]

Been following the SimCity drama with EA games (forcing people to play it like a Multiplayer games, selling DLC and possibly Microtransactions whilst having poor servers and a buggy game), EA's vision of making money on DLC, Connected Careers and all the micro transactions in the pass versions

I am avoiding any Madden games, Madden hasn't been the game I fell in love with ten years ago and it has been declining since 2006.

 

[exe ex machina]

I heard a rumor that 2K Sports and any other developer, is possible for them to create an NFL licensed game as long as it's mid-NFL-season that it gets released, allowing EA (who own the license) to advantage from early release.

 

[Broken]

I've only heard good things about the NBA 2K series and hope an NFL version is on the horizon. Madden desperately needs competition.

 

[tb_fanboy]

Really hope NCAA 14 comes our in pal this year...I'd rather that than Madden.

I think 2k spend too much time on their nba game..MLB 2k12/13 weren't released on pal format and are apparently just roster updates from 2k11

if they make a game it might not be playable here (although there is a bigger nfl market than MLB)

Why region-free gaming is important (PS3).
Hopefully, the next consoles are likewise. Otherwise, have to buy an NTSC one, and buy all games from ebay.

Nek minnut - RGIII curb stomps the shit out of his opponent

Now in the 2nd round: http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/feature/madden25cover?ex_cid=other

"Redskins fans are actively voting against RGIII due to the curse."

Cause Redskins fans are the only ones who would vote for him against Ryan Tannehill?

Yeah, you failed to mention the person he 'curb stomped' in the vote was Ryan Tannehill.

WHAT A STRONG OPPONENT.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Another win to RGIII.
Where's the Redskin bandwagon trying to stop him being cursed?

Down to the Sweet sixteen

[Dirty Bird]

No more QBs
Kinda want to party.

3rbs and a wr left

Old school
Sanders vs Rice
New school
Foster vs Peterson

I voted Sanders and Foster.
Only reason I went Foster is to avoid the madden curse hitting ADP

 

[Chadwiko]

RGIII not on the cover.

Hooray

 

[Chadwiko]

Cover will pretty clearly be Sanders and ADP.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Sanders vs ADP in the final.

Voted Sanders to avoid madden curse for ADP (same reason I voted Foster, RGIII)
Only a cruel inconsiderant person would vote for ADP after all he's gone through.

Cover to be revealed 9:30am ANZAC Day.

 

[Chadwiko]

I still think the reveal will be a dual Sanders/ADP cover, ala last years NCAA13

 

[Dirty Bird]

US release date is August 27.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Sanders wins.
I put $10 on Detroit now being cursed with Stafford getting injured and Kellen Moore getting a start

 

[exe ex machina]

You need to let go and move on from this kellen moore worship pronto. Its doing your head in.
