Some early talk

“Bill Abner (longtime sports video game editor who’s worked for Computer Games Magazine and GameSpy) got (a retail copy of) Madden early. Basically, the verdict: it’s complete shit,”

“Have you tried the demo? All I can say is what the HELL was EA thinking? A HOLOGRAPHIC JOHN MADDEN?… I don’t think I’ve ever been so turned off with a game before. Add into that Bill Abner’s comments that in the full game, there are NO CPU Sliders, because hey EA knows your difficultly level, and I just cancelled my preorder.”

On the game difficulty testing: “At this point, I was actually laughing out loud. The actions of the secondary blocker for the running back show you that the CPU AI for the game is broken… before you actually get to play it. Talk about a time saver.”

“The funny thing is that I saw at least one instance where I allowed an 8 yard completion, but still got a passing grade for that particular test. Then on the next play, they made a 2 yard completion where I knocked them out of bounds… and failed the test.”

Some thoughts on FaceBreaker: “Facebreaker was EA’s attempt at bringing fun games like Ready To Rumble over to the next gen? Well they have done it — except it’s without the fun,” and “I think we’re all better served to just avoid EA’s attempt to try and make a horribly simplified fighting game with an absolutely awful control scheme,”

Hall of Famer is mad about Madden.

After years of barging over husky defenders on the gridiron, ex-Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown is attempting to tackle two serious video game heavyweights in court.

According to Bloomberg, Brown has filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment America and Electronic Arts over using his likeness in the popular Madden football series. He seeks a court order preventing either company from continuing to use his likeness in the franchise as well as damages stemming from trademark violation.

At issue is the starting running back on Madden's "All Browns Team." The character is African-American and bears the same jersey number Brown made famous -- number 32. In the suit, Brown claims that he "never signed away any rights that would allow his likeness to be used."

He also mentions that unlike today's players, he was not given the option to negotiate terms during his NFL heyday.

"The NFL had league wide policy that players shall have no lawyers or agents when negotiating compensation," he said in the complaint. "Video games were not invented yet and no union to obtain rights from existed.''

EA and Sony have yet to comment on the matter.
