The Heartbreak Kid

Geno Smith's awareness is a 40. I bet once you boost it up, that overall rating will rise nicely. His other skills are off the charts though. (85 Speed, 92 Throw Power, 82 Throw Accuracy) If you're a good user QB, that awareness rating shouldn't mean jack.

I'll take the Buffalo Bills.

Some player ratings have been released today. It shows the Top QB/HB/WR, etc. ratings for offense. None for defense, unfortunately. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000230232/article/sneak-peak-at-the-madden-nfl-25-ratings EDIT: Tony Romo doesn't have the clutch rating anymore. About time.

I hate everybody equally. Does that mean I can join?

I played on All-Madden earlier. I lost by 14 to the Packers, but it was still fun. Definitely some changes to get used to. By the way, Clay Matthews is a motherfucker.

Cardinals defense is good. Offense, eh. It might be a little different with Carson Palmer thrown in the mix with Fitzgerald and Floyd. Probably not much though. They still need a solid HB. Unless you count Ryan Williams. It's hard to say what's a crappy team, and what isn't. It seems like a majority of the teams this year are going to have an even playing field to at least compete with one another. EDIT: The playbooks for Madden 25 have been released on Facebook. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/08/facebook-app-shows-every-teams-playbook-for-madden-25/

Personally, being from Upstate NY, I can't wait to run the read-option with EJ & CJ. It should be fun.

Madden NFL 25 demo comes out August 13th. You'll be able to play a Super Bowl rematch (Baltimore vs San Francisco) or Green Bay vs Seattle. Plus there will be Skill Trainer with four drills, like NCAA Football '14. Let's see what all this hoopla is about.

That's fucking amazing.

I know what you mean. I was just trying to think of sponsors off of the top of my head, or companies that would of been relevant in 1998. Whether it was in pop culture or whatever. Like Jolt Cola had product placement in movies during 1990's. Even though Jolt Cola is out of business now (unfortunately). There's a couple that I'm still doing research for. Like Lugz Boots, they were around but I'm not sure if they would be relevant for 1998. I'm just trying to make these sponsors as authentic as possible for the time period. I know the WWF had their own "1-800-Collect" type of sponsor. If I remember correctly, it was "Dial 10-321" or something. I'm looking it up as I type this. But I could definitely use that list of WCW sponsors when you get the chance. I have enough to keep me busy for now though.

Sponsors in the data: 47 Sponsors to be added: 31 If there are sponsors that anyone would like to add, or think should be removed. Feel free to nitpick. I'll be updating this list regularly.

Wow, this scenario looks amazing! I greatly appreciate the work you and everyone involved has done. I wouldn't mind doing the Sponsors for you. If you don't mind?

I'd like to help with getting this done. I've been tinkering with the original '98 scenario. I didn't see this until now, or else I wouldn't of wasted my time. So if there is anything I can help with. Just let me know.

Well, it looks like all the children in Africa are going to be wearing the OKC Thunder - 2012 NBA Champion hats and t-shirts.

You're joking, right? http://www.nba.com/v...a_presser4.nba/ Watch the first :15 seconds and it will tell you all you need to know.

Case Keenum stays in Houston. He signed with the Texans.
