[QUOTE="freebfrost, post: 3039803, member: 3713"] I have to rain on the parade. For years, my friends and I have gotten together weekly for a "boys night." We might see a movie, but usually we pop in a sports game and play [I]on the same team[/I]. We loved Madden 06 on the Xbox and were disappointed to hear about the missing features on the 360 last year. No problem, we'll wait until the 07 version... Which I picked up last Tuesday. Hated the character generation mode for starters. After an hour of practice our best middle linebacker had a strength of 21? But we forgave that. Last year, we thoroughly enjoy creating our own stadium, setting prices ($1 beers go a long way to keeping fan support in the upper 90th percentile!), and upgrading the facilities. Well, no Owner mode on the 360, so that was gone too. We forgave even that. When we finally get around to having our players on a team, we discover we can't get our controllers on the same team. We think it's a Live profile issue, so my friends (who don't own 360s) login and create their own profiles, thinking this will solve the problem. It doesn't. Why? Because the 360 does not support multiplayer co-op mode. At all. Now, given that it has had that mode for, what, 10 years, I message a friend, offer to sell him my 360 version and plan on getting the original Xbox version. That doesn't support co-op play either. Nor does the PS2 version. In short, a major piece of functionality was removed from all the console builds - and I only play sports games with my friends. EA has just lost me as a customer. Yeah, the game itself is gorgeous, and I'll bet the gameplay rocks too, but I'll never know. [/rant] [/QUOTE]
