Anyone got the game?? I might get it for Wii IF it looks fun. I have a $20 gift card to wal-mart, so I could get it for $40.

I don't have the game, I usually only look to see the free agents and old guys in the league...I saw a receiver that had played for 20 years once!

I will probably get this game eventually. It's only $50 on the Wii, and it looks fun. I like the graphics on it too.(go to IGN and look up the screenshots on wii) That will take away from my PP time though :( ... I might do a season log like jacobye did with the Patriots, except with the PACKERS!!!!! That looked fun.

I might get this... I have a gift card to Best Buy I could use to take the price down 15 bucks...
I still have my doubts, but I might want it for the rosters and all... I need to read some more reviews first, probably.

I love the graphics. The city looks all shiny and gold if the team does good, and it looks like it does in the picture if the team does bad. I really want this game now!

this is a MUCH better game this year than last year. and I'm talking fully about wii here

- they now have snow, heavy snow, rain, and heavy rain. unlike last year. it makes playing franchise more interesting now knowing the weather

- they have a new gameflow thing. It's slogan is 350 plays to 1. what it means is that if you press A it will give you a play according to the situation. it allows you to play 5 minute games easily and get the same amount of plays as you would a 8-10 minute game in other years. but you still have the choice to pick your own play

- it still has road to the super bowl and stuff like that. but its under mulitplayer even though you can play with yourself

- franchise if much better

- the announcing is more tolerable and more exciting when you score touchdowns. Tom Hammond was a mess last year

- the graphics look better

- updated rosters of course

- the music is better in-game. Bang my Drum sounds like real touchdown music(which it uses sometimes) and Let it rock, Crazy Train and Thunderstruck are good kickoff songs

- and a random question but what's with all the boxes in that lions pic above :lol: I'm using the Patriots and it looks better there. but it IS the Lions I guess

But all in all its a pretty nice improvement over last year. to me at least

Dude, it's Detroit. That's probably exactly what the city looks like in real life :lol:

god thats rough :lol: but I think it has to do with how good the team is and how good the legacy is according to this picture

Image


But also this game has



- In franchise you can change the ticket prices, cost of food, merchandise and parking and you can check out income and finances

- in franchise you kind of have a few random people helping you. One is a big money guy who talks to you about money, you have a fan advisor who is well.. a big fan helping other fans and telling you to do stuff like get your players to talk to reporters after the games and stuff. and then there are other random guys that will talk to you, mainly after a game.

- There's a legacy rank too. They show the rank in the hall-of fame thing and it tells you team legacy. the biggest I believe is the 49'ers of the 1980's and last I believe is the all-time Lions(but they were able to make the list of 25). So it's up to you to make your own team legacy


for a wii sports game it's pretty nice, ESPECIALLY compared to last year for wii

Madden is not Google Earth.

It's not supposed to be an accurate representation of N' Awlins.

If that troubles you, don't play Franchise Mode. ;)
