Hey Madden addicts! I have a special once in a life time offer for you! Can’t wait to get your hands on Madden ‘07?!?!? Well beginning on August 4th, you can watch an hour long pay-per-view special which will consist of a guided tour of all the new features this season! Yep, EA is hoping people will spend $20 dollars to watch someone else play a game. Awe…awesome.

 

EA and ESPN has teamed up for a first in video game history. A special pay-per-view event will be available starting August 4th at 9pm EST titled, Inside Madden NFL 07. Hardcore Madden fans will get an inside look at what it took to make the highly anticipated title coming out for all next-gen platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) 18 days before it's official launch on August 22nd.

 

Gamers willing to fork over $19.95 for the hour long special will be on a guided tour through new changes and advances in all aspects of the game. This also includes the exclusive release of player ratings and tips from top Madden gamers and behind-the-scenes details about the making of the next-generation Madden NFL games.

 

Also part of the show is a play test conducted in Orlando at EA Tiburon studio by some of the best in the game. The lucky players included:

 

- Dwayne “D-Train Harrison�

(winner of the 2002 Madden Challenge)

- Jarvis Thomas

(winner of the 2005 Madden Challenge)

- Justin Chow

(Washington DC regional winner of the 2005 Madden Challenge)

- Rod “Reality� Winn

guaranteed there are plenty of gamer nerds who will purchase this and there's something with that.

People who pay for this are as dumb as smokers who kill themselves $3 at a time.

At least 10,000 people will buy this.

Wow, this is stupid...

Completely retarded.

This is what happens when you are the only game (literally) in town. :thumbdown

Wish NFL2k series was still around, I would love to see what they could do on the 360.

You and me both.

Anyone stupid $20 for this deserves to lose the money.

whoever buys this needs to be taken out of the gene pool

Unbelievable. Nice to see EA is really half-assing all their football games nowadays since they're the only game in town.

What's sad is that their best effort was their most recent one. God that game kicked ass.

 

I haven't bought a Madden game since:

Good as time as any to state I hate these exclusive license deals. I want options in my games especially for baseball. Bring back MVP Baseball with MLB players!!

2k5? With TO on the cover?

Yep. Game was absurdly fun.

I still have it, hoping it becomes backwards compatible on 360, I just don't like the Madden series.

Yep. Game was absurdly fun.

 

 

Yes it was. Couldnt beat the discount price either. Also had everything unlocked in the Crib. That took some time.

 

Only thing was after playing Madden 06 with the QB vision 2k5 became kind of tough. Alot of bad passes.

I hated Madden 2006, but I like Madden 2005. I've never been much of a fan of the NFL 2k series.

If Madden had the same type of gameplay or feel of the game that the NCAA series (my favorite sports game) had, I'd be all over it.

 

It just seems too Arcade-like for my tastes.

whoever buys this aint reproducing anyway so its not a big worry.

You can thank EA for that, when EA got the exclusive deal for the NFL, 2ksports went all out to get the exlusive deal for MLB, now we're stuck with only one type of game. No matter what game you were a fan of, both series are hurting because the competition is what made the games great.

 

Just look at both Hockey and basketball games that are due out in 07, they both look incredible and they are adding tons of features because there is still a competition in those sports games.
