The addition of player icons will allow some players to make amazing one handed catches, shut down big play receivers, or turn the quarterback into a crash test dummy, while others will inevitably have deep rooted splinters in their butts from riding the bench. Throw in new breakaway animations, and a heap of bling bling and maybe this IS the year.

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
This year version better be better than the 07 version or i think people are really going to start dropping off the franchise and sales are going to go way down.
i'm still tripping on where are the refs on the field the side line refs and the line of scrim how is it they have forgotten this 3years in a row .my only thought is that the gameplay was so far off it took them an whole year just to get that part of the game intact.so they might of forgot it for another year .thats really lame E.A step it up cuz 2k8 has all of these things i wrote about plus some .. for anybody that doesnt think so just look at all the pics of 2k8 and you will see all of these things but i haven't seen not one ref on the field in an madden 08 pic no where .but this game has the nfl teams in it
....yeah 2K8 is coming on at a good clip, but until they get all the licenses and real players, et al....Madden is where it's @.
Let's play some John Madden Football.
