Making Virtual Sports More Like the Real Thing
The New York Times has an article today with an unexpected source of game criticism: Seattle Seahawks football player Sean Alexander. The athlete made the EA execs nervous at a press conference this week, where he offered up some insightful comments about the Madden series of games. From the article: "Madden has always been great, but it's always been one-on-one, just you and another person, and real football is a team game. You should be able to make a team and play together with your friends. Like if you have 10 friends, you could all play different positions and be in 10 different houses and play together over the Internet. Or maybe you just have like five people, and you control the skill positions and the program controls the other guys."
Ship steroids with the game discs.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
Did Alexander just make a dig at his offensive line by implying they aren't "skilled" positions? Let's see how many touchdowns he gets this season... :)
Yes.. but on the other hand, this is Slashdot. News for nerds. Getting a piece of sports trivia wrong actually increases your nerd cred.
