Let's bring EA to its knees this year, shall we? -- I'm confident that by working together here at Evo-Web we can reduce sales of Madden 06 by at least 3-4 copies. I'm doing my part.
Remember what EA did:
1. They put the ESPN 2K series out of business. While it's all a matter of personal preference, ESPN, IMO, was equally as good, if not better, than Madden 06, and it was priced at $20. Too revolutionary for the gaming industry apparantly, which is only interested in selling $50 games.
2. Because they couldn't compete -- innovation-wise -- EA locked-up an exclusive deal with the NFL and ESPN. This cost them $1.2 billion in total reportedly. They want you to re-coup that investment for them.
3. Of course, EA is hoping its fanbase will buy Madden 06 when it hits the streets -- and then re-purchase it for Xbox 360 later this year.
4. As if this wasn't enough, EA continue making FIFA, a blight on the footy community in general.
So, who's buying Madden 06 this year?
