Anyone know how the first Madden for the N64 sold w/out
having the NFL License?
I believe it was acclaim that sealed the deal that first year. I remember Madden 98 (I believe it was 98) for the N64 didn't have the official NFL License and had to use fake names and uni's.
I remember thinking to myself.. If I had an N64 there's no way I'd pick it up just because of that alone.
I guess I'm asking if Acclaim (or whoever it was) outsold the Madden product that year.

Yeah, but if your girlfriend/wife/both starts blowing you every time and then decides that from now on 5 voters will take a pole instead you wouldn't like it would you?kicko wrote:1994 was the 1st year madden had a nfl license i believe.
thinking back ............team colors and just players # were not that bad, thats how madden got started, and not even all the teams.
I am a patient boy.
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait.
My time is water down a drain.

you lost me with that. but i'm saying if that sega/vc wants to blow smoke at EA then thats their only option. its a step backwards but for $20 we can do without team logos and names, might not be as pretty but what else can you do?ScoopBrady wrote:Yeah, but if your girlfriend/wife/both starts blowing you every time and then decides that from now on 5 voters will take a pole instead you wouldn't like it would you?kicko wrote:1994 was the 1st year madden had a nfl license i believe.

How so? My point is when we become accustomed to something we won't accept anything less. Then how about this one: If Winning Eleven had the FIFA license from the very beginning and lost it would it sell as well? I doubt it, look at the outrage over not supporting Live.dbdynsty25 wrote:You're really reaching there Bobby.ScoopBrady wrote:Yeah, but if your girlfriend/wife/both starts blowing you every time and then decides that from now on 5 voters will take a pole instead you wouldn't like it would you?

we are so used to having licenses on games for so long but now we can see how for granted it has been taken. never expect anything to last forever.ScoopBrady wrote:How so?
