    Is your background kinda blurry sometimes ? Mine was, so I took my PS2 back and got a new one, and it still is blurry. The DVD aspect is just fine though.

    You ask and you shall recieve...

    www.maddenmania.com

    I'm sure you can find the release date somewhere on the site...

    From the Fact Sheet
    • All new player face and body technology, so player faces and body shapes will look even more like the real life counterpart.
    • Coach animations feature new face and body technology. Madden NFL is still the only game where actual coaches can roam the sideline.
    • New modes include Two-Minute Drill, where points can be earned on offense or defense in a quick-hitting fast-paced game within the game; Create-a Team, featuring customized uniforms, helmets and stadiums; and Training Mode, where you can learn about the X's and O's of football from John Madden while perfecting in-game skills.
    • Play and draft with the newest NFL franchise, the Houston Texans. Take them to the Super Bowl in Franchise Mode.
    • New Madden Cards with new players, new designs and cheerleaders.
    • Hundreds of new animations have been added, while a new focus on player emotion and high drama has been added with cool replays featuring camera angles a TV broadcast can't capture, such as inside the huddle.
    • With Widescreen TV support, you can now see all of your receivers run their patterns. Madden NFL 2002 incorporates strategy from real NFL coaches and John Madden himself, improvements to blocking and pass coverage lead the list of changes for 2002.

    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

    Madden 2002 should be released sometime by the end of August.

    Check out www.ebworld.com if you don't already.

    Another thing that's pretty rad about the new Madden game is that if you play franchise mode, after season 1, there's a Expansion draft for the Texans and the divisions re-align after the 1st season.

    There will also be twice as many sound bytes from Madden and Summerall so you won't hear the same crap over and over as much.

    There's also a training mode which sounds different from the practice mode in the previous game.

    I can't wait...

    I think it is kinda wierd to buy the same game, but only new versions, every year. I wait at elaast two years before getting the new one.

    It is different than, say, buying the first Zelda 64 and the second (or final fantasy series), cause those are completely different story lines with different backgrounds. But when it comes to Mortal Kombats and sports games, I just go with the one every few years than get the new version to see more of a drastic improvement.

    On a different note:

    COME next November (or December) which do you think you'd prefer to have?

    Playstation 2
    Gamecube
    X-Box

    I have played the Playstation 2 a bunch, and while I think it is amazing, the pre-hype on it was so huge I was somewhat dissapointed. Right now I'm leaning towards the Gamecube cause I like their style of games (Mario, Bond, etc) a little more that the Sony/PC feeling games.
