the Madden hall of fame....

[captainbronco]

when you go into the hall of fame and look at all the past HOF and look under the Broncs why is ours empty??? is EA to dumb enough to realize that 2 guys named John Elway and Gary Zimmerman made it into the hall of fame years ago?its trivial but they deserve to be there

Zim is in under the Giants I believe... The reason I'd heard about some players missing is because they have to sign everyone on an individual basis they couldn't some HOF's in there... This is the second year in a row Elway hasn't been in it

John signed his name to the that new NFL blitz game or whatever, same with a few of the old players like Lott etc. Hence they are not listed in Madden

Thank EA and their demand for exclusive rights which by the way, blew up in their face once they realized that John Madden was contracted by CBS (owner of ESPN) and they were going to take the trademark and name of their flagship project if EA didn't pay them.

So EA paid them, and they got an exclusive contract (which they also paid for), and as a result, forced other games to do the same - so no John Elway or Ronnie Lott.

ahh now i know i was always wondering why they werent in there i thought EA like all the media just hated the Broncs
