    Slim i'd say, EA wont want to dilute the Madden cash they get.
    If they launch NCAA, they'll be spending a lot more on marketing etc for not a whole lot extra in game sales as a lot of people will buy one or the other, only the hardcore will buy both.

    Even if they made it region free so we could buy it from American suppliers

    It would be pretty big though, Installed games are 6-8 gb. Although that is the word on the next gen console, all games will be downloaded, no discs. All to stop the preowned trade. They would want to come with a big hard drive

    Quinn Johnson is just awful, he wont be at the Titans next year.
    No argument with the top 2. I have both of these guys, but imho Leach is in a different league to Reece

    I'd have Miller higher to be honest, he's not a great pass catcher or open field runner but that's not really the job of the full back.

    He was mic'd up for the Championship game this year, pretty funny stuff.

    Just watching the PS4 announcement stream.

    It seems you can LiveStream what you are playing to your friends. Imagine all being able to watch the Superbowls, or a big divisional clash. Would be absolutely epic.

    Unless Xbox offer the same, I'll be streaming my Madden league games on PS4 me thinks.

    You can already do that on xbox 360 with COD so I'd imagine they'll have it for all games

    I would think that's secondary come Super Bowl time I'd have loved to have watched a few of the super bowls I don't think it's anything you wouldn't see from playing them anyway

    Yes but with the PS4 I can log onto my console, see that you are playing you're league game, and start watching right from my PS4.

    I would imagine that a spectator mode would not allow you to see the plays, would be fairly easy for EA to implement.

    I know that but what I meant was if they already have it on 360 for one game (even if it's live streaming to YouTube) then they're obviously going to have it on the new xbox for all games, same as the PS4

    Playing an offline game and something kinda like this happened.Had to watch the replay a few times to be sure.
    hgjzr.gif

    Basically Brady's throwing,gets hits,fumbles,then about 4 or 5 players dive on the ball,Hernandez dives in last,picks the ball up while diving,rolls on the backs of the players on the ground back onto his feet and starts gunning it down the field(pretty much exactly like the above),
    I had to go back and watch it a few times,it was pretty funny actually
