I don’t know why they can’t broker a deal where Madden slaps a CFL extension on it.
Much like how EA NHL had the European superleagues.

Similar difference. The ice was bigger, clock counted up, icing rules were different.

Seems like with a few fixes, they could do it. It’d sell like crazy. However, I would think most football fans in Canada who are gamers already have (or would be buying) Madden anyway.

So, it’d be awesome. But a net loss for EA, I’d think.

But, I still can’t imagine that adding 8/9 teams and stadiums, changing rules and field sizes could be all that difficult. Though, the NFL would probably balk at it. Probably don’t want the CFL eroding one of their unregulated highways to market their brand to Canadian youth.

Except its not that simple. Here’s the thing okay you make field bigger and add in new stadiums add the players that is nothing. Then you change from 3 downs to 4 still no big deal. However what do you do with the AI? Do you leave it the same so the team plays like an NFL team or do you overhaul the AI for 3 down football? If you just leave it people will complain that its no way realistic CFL experance.

Whatever. I’m sure a compromise could be made so that the AI doesn’t need a complete overhaul. I’m sure 1st,3rd and 4th down plays in the states would suffice to what we’d use. Those type of nuances are the minute details. I’m sure the AI wouldn’t be quite as pass-happy either – though if the AI is told its 3rd and 6…(when it’s actually 2nd down), I’m sure that ball’s going in the air.

Regardless, beggars can’t be choosers.

I’d be happy playing the CFL game regardless of the AI. And, I’m sure something could be done about the Free Safety situation.

If the AFL can have a game, then surely to god the CFL can do it.
