Duchess Jack Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 So....when his number is finally up....what all do you think is going to happen to the Madden video games? Will it continue as 'Madden' with a different booth? Will Madden be giving color commentary from the grave? Or will they change the name. Just curious what people think.

I hope they price themselves out of business. I'd rather play Tecmo Bowl. Edited January 26, 2005 by AtomicCEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather play Tecmo Bowl. 673106[/snapback] I hope this doesn't happen, I love playing Madden and think doing a fantasy draft and running a franchise is as close as you can get to running a pro football team. The salary cap, the ticket prices, concession prices is all great stuff. Not to metion the HIT STICK. edit to add: I agree with Bill "the sports guy" Simmons there should be a national call in sick day on the day Madden is released. Yes I am one of the few that will admit to playing in a Madden league with a buddy. Edited January 26, 2005 by Men In Tights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Actually, the Madden name will be dropped from the franchise next year, or at best will share top billing with ESPN. EA and ESPN have signed a huge liscensing deal. Basically, EA realized that Madden is a doddering fool, and his image hurts the franchise more than it helps . . .
