Worst fucking news of the year by Ice Cream Jonsey 12/13/2004, 6:16pm PST

I actually picked up ESPN's game this year since it was only $20 to give it a try. It was a good game, but I was already brainwashed into Madden's control style. The good thing I can see coming from this are other developers being forced to innovate crazy football games like Mutant League Football or something similar. Here's a link: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/041213/135991_1.html


This is a fucking TRAGEDY. Thanks, NFL -- we didn't really enjoy paying twenty bucks for our football game this year, we'd much rather charge whatever the fuck EA wants us to pay from here on out. What a fucking joke. The absolute worst franchise in the history of video games is now exclusive and the only game in town. I've got to jump through hoops if I want to play some fucking football and see #57 RICKEY JACKSON COLBY BOCKWOLDT on the screen.

If anyone needed any further proof that Electronic Arts is the WORST THING CURRENTLY GOING ON IN VIDEO GAMES then here you go. NFL2K5 was $20 and was superior in every fucking way to the lazy horseshit we got in Madden. What a great deal. But moron kids and fratboys let everyone down like they do every year and just went with Madden because they are mindless sheep. They deserve this, actually.

The article is hilarious as well:

For the first time, all aspects of the interactive experience -- including console-based fantasy football features and handheld game devices -- will be fully integrated with one EA game.


For the first time!! Awesome! They've done so well with competition out there, they are sure to keep things interesting and fresh now that it's all been eliminated. And haha, what is this "console-based fantasy football" shit? Fantasy football is motherfucking EMBARASSING. People are playing FF in their Madden games? I imagine not, as this is obviously a press release that Yahoo Biz just BluesNewed its way onto their site, but goddamn -- how about spending some resources on their not being game-killing AI for once in the franchise's miserable history?

"We are pleased to expand our agreement with Electronic Arts, the leading video game manufacturer and a valued NFL partner," said NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. "We look forward to working with EA to continue to enhance the quality of NFL video games that our fans have enjoyed for many years."


Tags, you WHORE. I hope the cash was worth it you fucking shill. You're just as bad as Selig and Bettman and you will never be anything other than contemptable slime. Hey, EA was going to put in salary cap penalties that mapped to the laughable ones you dished out on the Steelers, Niners and Broncos but I understand the dev team found them to be wholly unrealistic and without any logical deterrence. But get yourself something nice with the money EA gave you, fucker.


"For more than a decade, EA has produced the most authentic football product for fans of the game," said PLAYERS INC Chairman Gene Upshaw. "This exclusive relationship will maximize the value of NFL players through EA's continued commitment to bring fans closer to the game."


Thanks for your worthless opinion, Fuckshaw. As a matter of fact -- because this needs to be said -- EA has made consistently the WORST sports game out of all of them, each and every single year. Sony's line? Better. Accolade's Unnecessary Roughness? Far, FAR better than Madden 97 for the PC. And don't get me started on the Front Page Sports line, which up until the 99 version was far, FAR superior to any Madden game released to this day. The features Madden is crowing about now existed in Sierra's games 8 years ago. EIGHT YEARS ago.

Madden NFL 2005, the most complete football game ever, is available for the


HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

I know that in the NFL when you fail to kick the ball off after a score because you're getting your ass kicked but managed to put on some meager points and the other team logs off in frustration the fucked-over team definitely gets the "L." As a matter of fact, Haslett was trying that in the middle of the season because, hey, it was in the on-line version of the MOST COMPLETE FOOTBALL GAME EVER!!!

What a fucking joke. Fuck the NFL. It's worthless and a complete waste of time. I'm taking up horticulture -- who wants to trade me some motherfucking paphiopedilum cuttings, bitches?


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
