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.

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.

If EA and Nintendo can ink a deal by 2004 (for Madden 2005) to where EA or Nintendo hosts the games, then it would be possible. Either that or a LAN setup with GameSpy handling the tunneling for online play.

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.

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.

I think sports games are generally MUCH better on consoles. Playing on my TV with digital sound and online play with voice chat, having a memory card to take to friends' houses etc. are all big bonuses.

Yes, Consoles are usually better for sports games. But the PC can still do all the things mentioned S Video or Component video out to TV from PC, digital sound from PC, online play and voice chat (too obvious), and either a floppy or cd-rw to store and restore your settings. *walks off wondering why I had to point out the obvious......*

yes a PC version can do anything and everything a console version can. use any console controller it wishes. Can do it in MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Higher resolution and graphics. smoother, Much higher frame rate. nothin like lookin at the beauty of one of these games on a nice 1280x1024 resolution with a perfect frame rate.

plus the extras consoles dont have. downloads, easily used roster updates, patches, upgrades, add your own music. example in hockey game. i can add my own collection of music that the game will play while play is stoped.
i can create my own teams. draw up my own team logo's and add them to the league.

and no need to save a game or stats or anything to a friends house. just email him and it'll be all set when ya get there.

ahhh needless to say i'd MUCH rater have it on PC. Most do tend to love pc versions when giving them a chance. PC's just arent known for thoes types of games so everyone over looks em. but hey, its not for everyone.
as i said i'd just be happy with a way to play the pc vs console people on a sports game.

My PC setup doesn't have a TV out, digital sound or a headset. Even then, I'd more than likely still prefer the PS2 version.
