We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/sportsbusin...tory?id=1945691 This sucks, IMO. Sure, our country was built on monopolies and blah blah blah...but I like the ESPN series more than EA's. I know a lot of people would disagree with me, but still, now we don't have the option of choosing what game we want - it's going to either be buy EA's NFL game or buy nothing. We'd just better pray that every Madden game for the next five years are great, because now we don't have a choice. I just hope they don't also buy the NBA license because I'll be pissed off if there's no more NBA 2K series...

This sucks. Why? Because of lack of competition. EA developers are known to be lazy as it is, but without competition, they may just sit on their heels. Plus they could sell games for 80 bucks if they even wanted to, because they are the only NFL game on the market and people would buy it. This is a lose lose situation for all ESPN and Madden fans. The only people who win really is EA. |

I think it sucks too. While the Madden series is no doubt great, I like to be able to choose what I want to play. What if one year they come out with a Madden that really sucks? Oh well, if we want the latest NFL game, that's the one we have to buy. Plus, now that EA won't have any competition, they will be less inclined to be more innovative. |

I agree, as much as I love Madden, no competition sucks, the prices will go back up to $50 bucks now and the game probably be as good as it could be |
