Tuesday, August 09, 2005Angels "jonesing" for MaddenPatrick Hruby of ESPN's Page 2 reports on the Madden craze. Apparently, the Angels wanted the game so badly, they requested an advance copy:
Andy Roddick, Snoop Dogg, the guys from "Entourage" and the Anaheim Angels are among those who have contacted EA Sports, asking -- read: begging -- for an advance copy of Madden.Maybe playing that game is what has given the Angels offense a kick in the pants since July ended (assuming they got one early as requested). Comments:I am not gonna pick up this year's Madden (I ended up not playing last year's very much). It is a lot more fun to play when living with three other guys that will play the game with you at any time, and now it is sorta boring to play the single player. It's all about online, man. And actually, I have more fun with owner mode than anything else. I often find myself simming through entire seasons to get to the team and player development portions of the game. I would pick up the game but the Las Vegas Rat Pack (formerly the St. Louis football team) is currently in the middle of a dynasty run. First thing I do in every Madden game: Move the Raiders back to LA, where they become the "Los Angeles Devils". I actually probably won't ever get it for the PC, and my only console is the GameCube (I don't really care about online capabilities of consoles...give me the great single player games). Right now I am playing through GTA: San Andreas, anyways (LONG freakin game) and I still have Metroid Prime 2 to beat and Zelda to pick up whenever that comes out. Have you noticed that when you move a team, you lose the logo on the helmet? This bugs me to know end and it is the key reason I rename the team the "Rat Pack." Apparently the NFL refuses license the logos for personal editing. Note that you lose the logo if you try to change a team’s uniforms without moving. |
