Bring NFL 2K Series back!
by kbshaffer on Comments
I had an opportunity to play Madden '07 for the Xbox 360 and I was left scratching my head at the end product, especially for an EA release. I was disgusted at the frame rate issues and the between play visuals. There was a couple times where the camera seemed to be pointed at a fan wall with the top of the fan torsos cut off and nothing interesting on the wall. Aside from the visual problems EA took out the fantasy draft for the new gen consoles. Why take out a feature that fans love and look foward to from season to season in the real world and season to season for their in-game franchise? Being a business graduate I have a theory. They are trying to lose market share. Is it possible that EA is about to scrap the Madden series and go with a new product? For fans of Madden games that I know personally EA has succeded. I don't think they will be buying the next game in the series if there is one. As for me, I have never bought a Madden game since I experienced the NFL 2k games. The last one, ESPN 2K5, still finds its way into my PS2 at the start of every football season when I get the bug to play and draft my players. I really hope they bring the series back at the end of the EA exclusive rights contract with the NFL. Until then I will refuse to buy Madden games simply because there isn't anything else. Also, if they really are trying to shed market share by releasing a poorly finished game then I feel bad for the people that spent 60+ dollars for the new Gen version.
