We are all gamers that love the National Football League. We are all going to buy Madden NFL 2006 because it is now our only NFL gaming option. This fall a couple of football games are going to be released that have no association with the NFL.

Road to Sunday from 989 Sports: A story driven football game where fictional football, underground fighting and Texas Hold 'Em collide.

and

Blitz the League from Midway: A remake of the classic action sports sim with slow down bullet-time, 10-second play clock and "juice".

I hope that at least one of these games is a good one. I love the NFL but I don't like the fact that only one company can make an "official" NFL licensed game.

The better these two games are the more EA has to care about keeping Madden innovative.

Which one of the two "bootleg" football games are you most looking forward to playing?
