Ea Sports is the king of sports games, and gamers everywhere
know this. But last year EA was shocked when Acclaims football
game outsold Madden and beat them to the NFL license. Many
people argue that Madden has better gameplay than Quarterback
club, but Quarterback's graphics beat Madden's ten to one. EA
plans to turn the tables this year. Their famous Madden will have
the full NFL license, and offer hi resolution graphics that are very
much like Quarterback Club's.
By improving the graphics engine and retaining their near perfect
game engine, EA Sport's '99 football title may beat Quarterback
club all out. Plus the NFL license also adds to the game, no more
generic city names for teams, and non-authentic colors, it's going to
be the real thing baby!
With EA's experience, you can undoubtedly expect the game to be
fast and furious. With actual NFL offensive and defensive stats,
you'll be placed in the game, just as EA's motto says.
As seen in the accompanying screenshots Madden '99 looks
absolutely stunning, all the polygon players are very well designed
and textured. The stadiums are also brilliant in design, much more
eye appealing than last years offering. The NFL battle resumes this
fall and don't expect EA to go down without a hard fight this year.
