[citation][nom]screechy[/nom]If only those console gamers saw the light of pc gaming. I know I haven't looked back since.[/citation]

I prefer pc for most games myself but sports is not one of them... You would play football on a pc?

i don't understand how madden sells so much year after year... its the same game with a few new players to update the rosters and minor changed to gameplay... seems like you could control map and modify rosters yourself and save 60 bucks a year

I would, if they actually released good sports games for it, but they don't. The PC even have an advantage over the consoles, you can pretty much play with any type of controller. Keyboard+Mouse, xBox360 controller, PS2 controller with an adapter, a logitech controller, etc. Anything you want to use, you can.

I left the console scene around '99 to join the PC gaming world and I've loved it. But there are just some experiences on console no longer worth passing up so now I play both. I got a PS3 recently and I'm actually mad at myself for now getting one sooner. My PC games consist of FPS games and NBA 2K(which is fun to add all kinds of patches such as jerseys, cyberfaces, sneakers, etc.) but trying to play against others online can be frustrating because of people's different specs and connection speeds.

Plus EA stopped making Madden for PC after Madden 08. They lied to us saying that they would take a year off in 09 and come back to the PC with Madden 10 which did not happen. I know a lot of PC games don't play sports games anyway but I'm a sports fan so I need my fix. Plus they don't make NCAA, Boxing, (worthwhile) Wrestling, and (many newer) Fighting games on PC, so I need my PS3. Marvel vs Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, and Tekken X Street Fighter on the way!
