    Now I can play the game while I watch the game. The next step is to tie it into some kinda online fantasy football stuff online... not that I'm into that kinda thing or anything.

    This is gonna suck. Why?
    • People that like sports games don't own a PDA
    • The controls are gonna suck
    • The graphics will suck unless you got a nice high-res PDA (many people do these days)

    Their pockets will have plenty of room for those Pocket PCs after Electronic Arts 'appropriates' all the profits.

    A game titled "Madden NFL 2005" is coming to Palm OS and Pocket PC. It simply means they have the rights to that title. It's not like the game will be anything like what you can play on a game system or a PC.

    I wish the manufacturers would admit this and call the game "Mobile Madden" or something.

      Check out the screenshot. It looks surprisingly good, and certainly better than the Game Boy Advance version of Madden 2005.
