IGN: Are those hidden teams also available on the PS2 and Xbox, but just obviously unlocked in some other fashion?

Jeremy Strausser: No, they're exclusive for GameCube. We did some exclusive things for Nintendo.

That's according to the interview.

I'm hoping EB has some copies in today. This game will consume a large portion of my life.

I will get it on the 11th.. but I sent in my PS2 to get fixed.. So I won't play it until the end of August.

that sucks, Joe.

Here are some classic rock pictures, on the house

Thank you stu. That cheered me up!

lol.

And I am not sure if I am still gonna get Madden. I mean, I rented 2003 a couple of months ago, and I really sucked at it. And sucking at games is frustrating.

It's out on the 11th? Nice. I was thinking it came out on the 14th for some reason.

Uh, what about, like... Putting it on an easier difficulty setting thing?

Joeiss · 08-08-2003, 11:59 PM

It was supposed to be on the 14.. but now 11!

And yeah.. might try that.. lol.. I just played the game without resetting the options.

chosing between the Ps2 and Xbox version was HARD... but being able to get the real rosters in NCAA and having online play in both Madden and NCAA made me go with the Ps2 versions.

I have yet to reserve Madden though... hopfully I can get on release without many problems.

well damn. you didnt even list the PC version. that rather hurts

it has the best of all 3 versions.......well, except the gba connectivity.

question for anyone whos maybe heard anything..... The PC and PS2 versions of FFXI can play together online...... any word on any of the EA sports games playin together online between PS2 and PC? be fun to play some of ya sometime.

Joeiss · 08-09-2003, 06:24 PM

I doubt it. If it was, they we probably would be hearing alot of it!

Null · 08-09-2003, 08:22 PM

well me thinks thats something they should try for 2005 then. cuz it woudl be cool

Jonbo298 · 08-09-2003, 08:52 PM

If EA actually put it online for the 'Cube also, it could do a 3 way thing. PC, PS2, and 'Cube players on the same servers. XBox people are out of the equation because of MS's closed servers.

Null · 08-09-2003, 09:17 PM

lol. a nintendo game online? unlikely :P

but yea. it could be done between thoes 3, and it would be nice if they start doing that. would be a slight deterent from doing closed networks on future consoles.

The PC version actually has a lot to offer as well. It has its own online offering, which is very different that the PS2 offering because its more PC focused with clubs and leagues. The game on the PC is more mouse-driven, we support the mouse wheel this year, we have right-clicking, and it's like a series of interactive web pages. The other thing we've added to the PC this year is the play editor, with its own PC interface. Out of all of the versions, the PC version might be the most powerful. The graphics are set to the highest end, it has all of the same features as the consoles including Owner mode and Playmaker control, and it's something that we're really proud of here. It doesn't get a whole lot of attention, but if you own a PC, you shouldn't overlook Madden.

There's the PC version.
