The things that im really excited about are the gang tackles, signature moves, side arm throws and the mini camp!
im also glad that there improving the bench and sideline animations animations. I think its gona look great!
a question i asked from another post that nobody answerd was,
what kind of hardware am i going to have to buy if i want to play madden online? I dont have a fast connection or a fast modem. what will i need to buy and have before i can play online? If anybody can help me i would apreciate it. Thanx!
-
You just need the $40 dollar adapter available August 27th. It supports 56k so you will be OK.
Gang tackles its about time. And finally I wont have to buy a new Madden every year, I will just have to download the rosters off the internet...preseason games!! been wanting that for years...
This game is like the ultimate... EA already has my money.
-
*hugs everyone in excitment*
*prepares thumbs for online action*

We should get our own PSX2Central Madden Clan. Who\'s up for it?
I\'m in for sure. I am a hardcore Madden fan, I\'ve had every game each year since 96\'.
God I JUST CAN\'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
-
I WANT MADDEN! I\'d join the clan thing, if it ever happened.
Also, how would i connect the adapter to my internet? My comp is in a different room from my PS2...so would i just run a cable from the room my comp is in to my bedroom?

suppose it must be raining at night time?
-
Hopefully it wont be raining while the sun is out again. And the snow needs to cover more of the field.
Which console are those picks from?
-
dont know, i got them from http://www.ea.com/e3/easports/madden2003.jsp in thier E3 coverage.
EDIT: what time is it in North America now?
-
guys these are some ps2 screens taken at E3. (from ps2)

Now, if PS2 Madden isn\'t going to support USB Keyboards...how long will it take to chat?
----------------------------------------------------
I dont know what consol this pic is from but i just thought id post it cos it looks just so dam fine!
EDIT!: Screen from PS2! =)
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.maddenmania.com%2Fimages%2Ftowens-2003.jpg&hash=0a445af0ee27a8d73fc3f24b4fede8dff1d5b1c6)
another EDIT: Half back options/passes will be in the game. Along with block and release where the half back blocks and then goes out for a pass. Mini camps are in all consols AND get this! There will be like a mini halftime show or something - with the cheer leaders - happens every half time!
-
How the heck do you type???? Do you just hook up a USB keyboard?

its a mystery!:D
-
to answer that question,
quote from gamespots E3 coverage:
"While there will be no keyboard for the PlayStation 2, there is an on-screen keyboard that you can use to send messages to the competition. However, it can only be used while the game is paused. To keep from slowing down the game you can enter and save 10 quick statements for use on the fly."
-
This all sounds good...except that maybe they\'re going to make it a little too much like Sega\'s game (decreased momentum, more on the fly animations)?
I liked the engine before, feels more like real football then 2K2.
About damn time they added the preseason though...this feature was in the 989 games for the PSX...that kicks ass.
-
I like the halfback option passing. I have Madden 2002 for the Gamecube and play it often. I don\'t really care if there\'s a preseason or not, but what is definitely needed is a better ending when you win the Super Bowl. 2002\'s is lame, lame, lame.
Another addition to the wish list: The wishbone offense. :p

Yeah, I played 18 games for that lame ending. At least it could have opened up something or gave you some madden cards...
-
I\'m glad that the rosters can be updated. That was the MAIN reason I bought NFL2K2 last year.
Well the player stats, and team stats, be updated throughout the year also? I saw the ranks for the teams on a board and the stats are fine for last year, but some teams have potential to be better.

Yeah, the Ram defense for one. It is only 77 in Madden 2002.
I think they prooved last season it is better then that.
-
those ratings are \'subject to change\'
EA only based ratings on signed players and left unsigned players off of the rosters at E3.
They just needed a rating system for E3.
They will change it!;)
-
I went 7-3 at the show and beat up on Keenan McCardell of the Jags online while he was in Florida. The game is fricking awesome, and while it feels like last years, it has been tweaked in a number of ways. Pass coverage is better, the stiff arm works, and the gang tackles are a great addition. No more watching a tackle happen, you can jump right in and make sure the guy goes down.
-
Read the convo on the chat lol
-
eh, what chat? I haven\'t been back in a while :)
-
he means the pics in this thread. The chat in the online room thingy. its pretty funny hehe!
Aaron, i hope you had fun at E3! Hehe i know you did how could you not!:bounce:
-
I\'m just counting down the days until next year. About the Superbowl celebrations, one fo the programmers told me it had been redone, but it still wasn\'t much. He said that so few people saw it, that it wasn\'t worth the resources to make it really spectacular.

man that is B***S***
75% of my seasons i win the superbowl. I would have also liked to see more \'hype\' in more important games
-
well, he meant that they could take the time to improve something everyone will see, like pass coverage, or they could take the time to make a better celebration, that only a few people would see. It sucks, but it makes sense at least.
-
100% of the seasons I won the Superbowl
-
Trust me, after playing the game you won\'t care if there\'s no celebration after the Superbowl. THe game is butter.
-
Mmmmmm.... butter.....
