While I will admit that competition is good, in this instance, I will disagree with bassman58 and others in my content with EA not releasing a PC game. Everytime I see a discontented post on this forum, it's always "The graphics suck. It's nowhere near as good as Madden". Asif that were all there was to a football game. I will fully admit that I was a Madden junky in the late nineties and early this century, hating anything that 989 Sports and others would put out (you could call me a fanboy). And I will be buying the EA releases for my PS3 this fall, purely for eye candy when I want a brain-dead football experience. But I'm so sick and tired of kids coming on here and criticizing MaxFB because of what it isn't instead of realizing what it is. This is a damn good football sim. Most of my experience playing it is to act more as a GM, get the team set, and watch the games play out. That's how good this is, that my enjoyment comes out of NOT actually playing it. I bought this game for the Arcade mode, so I could finally pick up my gamepad and play CFL-style football. I now have about 5 different leagues running in all different kinds of rule-sets, and derive a hell of alot of pleasure out of trying to maximize match-ups and building teams. So circling back to the topic at hand, then I'm glad EA isn't releasing a PC game, in that perhaps we'll stop having all those Madden-junkies (like I used to be deriding) a great game, and instead appreciating what it offers. Just my two cents.
