Back in the distant time of long long ago, 2004, there was something called competition within NFL video game circles. Madden hadn't yet obtained its exclusive license that would become the bane of many sports gamers' existences and the ESPN NFL series was coming into its own. It was Sega vs. EA. People perceived it as a clash of the titans. The biggest showdown since Gameday had gone under. But here's why this competition was the biggest joke in sports gaming history.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
NFL2K5 is still the best in my opinion and outclasses even the latest Maddens
ESPN NFL 2K5 truthfully is the one of the most overrated games of all time. It did have its strong points but I actually preferred Madden 2005 over ESPN 2K5.
EA went and bought the AFL license.
bought the NFL license.
bought the ESPN license.
already had the football(soccer) license with FIFA.
already had the College Football license.
and if the XFL didn't die,they would have bought that too to prevent visual concepts from making another football game.
each year,EA have attempted to duplicate NFL2K5's presentation,style,animation and build structure of players to look like NFL2K5.
yup.that game is so overated.i'm surprised EA didn't copyright and patent the word "football" and "players on a field in a sports video game."
Still better than Madden
who writes this crap,...the must be ea advocates because i remember when it launched,...people were taking madden back to gamestop in droves because it was not able to compare. they had so many copies of used madden on store shelves it was maddening..lol, i even remember ea dropping the price of madden a couple of weeks after it launched....so please stop writing this crap.
