...it will be the best game in the hisroty of everything.

A couple features EA has added to Madden.
Throughout the week you'll be able to see what's going on throughout the league and your team by reading newspapers, both local and national. This serves as a way to judge the public's reaction to some of your moves (raise the price of beer, trade T.O.) as one day the headline might be about the road to the Super Bowl, the next it's ridiculing you for not benching your struggling quarterback. The papers will also provide stories on the latest injuries, trades, and roster moves, along with player profiles to help you get better acquainted with your lineup. All in all, there are over 20,000 stories that can be generated in the game, offering owners unique articles throughout multiple franchise experiences.

As you read the paper and look over your team throughout the week, in the background you'll hear the new voice of EA Sports Radio, Tony Bruno, talking football and even conducting interviews with the actual coaches featured in the game. That's right, the real voices of the real coaches talking about your team and what's happening throughout your season.

Internally, the stories within your team will be delivered through e-mail. Scouts will tell you about upcoming opponents, your marketing director will bitch about ticket sales, and players will tell you to just give them the damn ball.


If Tiburon can do it why can't EA Canada.

Awesome! I read Live is supposed to have a PDA type device in it. I guess it is supposed to be like the 1st pick you posted.

i hope they also plan on going the direction espn football is with the draft, where at a certain point in the season you get an analysis of potential players in the draft, and can get scouting info on them.

in ESPN football, you could even edit there names as well--I did that and added real prosepcts names. Too bad that was only thing i liked about that game. But Hopefully Live could add that--good idea. :wink:

That is indeed an awesome idea. I usually haven't though too much of such a feature, as I've always figured the articles will be too generic. 20,000 unique articles should allow for quite a variety, to say the least. :wink:

EA wouldnt add that stuff..it would make the game too good. If they make a less than perfect game it will give people something to look forward to the next year.
