[Madden 25 and Xbox One]

Haven't read up on much about it over the past few days, but I cant see why they wouldnt region lock a console? This has always been part of a a companies sales protection as well as more importantly, what other countries run their tv's etc on. Any thing on NTSC ( Never the Two Same Colours in the old days) run over here ( if they could) would look rubbish as the format is completely different, its still not as good as the PAL set up is.

 

I'm personally still swaying toward the XBOX ONE just now.

 

PS3 isn't region locked which is why there is a PS3 NCAA football league. Microsoft gave some bulls**t reason for doing it again. Assuming the PS4 is the same as PS3 then I'll be buying that so I can get my fix of US sports like baseball and any NCAA game if it still exists after the players lawsuit. The NTSC/PAL thing doesn't matter anymore unless you're using an old school TV.

For the best part of the next iteration the majority will still be playing on 360 I reckon. The console won't arrive until early November. After last night's 'reveal' though, I'm considering moving to the PS4, not the XboxOne.

Memo from the NHL League Offices; Presiding GM QuietLife Bettman.
 

Hello All,

 

Just a little bit of information on the xbox gm connected league to get you going should you be as interested as Diode apparently is. The gm connected league for NHL, much like Madden, involves an exact representation of the NHL season (when not affected by a lockout). It's 2 conferences of 15 teams playing an 82 game season followed by 3 rounds of 7 game series playoffs to get to the best of 7 Stanley Cup Finals. There is also an automated draft in the post season and trading between teams.

 

We run 2 in-game calendar weeks for every actual week and the league advances every Sunday. This means you will have to play @ 6 or 7 games every week against a mixture of cpu and player opposition. While this may seem a lot of games it is manageable as a hockey game will average 20 minutes of play. FSL use is actively encouraged to ensure that all player/player fixtures are arranged and completed in a timely manner.

 

Currently there are 12 players in the league, 6 in each conference and we are part way into our second season. 

 

If you're interested come visit the xbox NHL forum when it's up to see the rules and guidelines we play by or drop me a message.
