I'm on crack, and I'm happy with that.

Back around Christmas, I went to Best Buy with some family members. I grabbed the PC version of Madden 2003 from the closeout shelf. Loaded it, it didn't work, too bad.

Since the near-complete rebuild of our computer changed so many things, I decided to try again. This time, it loaded! Yes! Began learning to play, and made my own team (the Sylea Imperials, built on the Patriots.)

This thing is addictive. Very addictive.

Tomorrow is going to be spent writing the Vilani military. Today I'm working...

But I have time for a quick game or two...

I just bought it myself, and am printing out the manual as I write this.

Just out of curiosity:

1. Have you installed any patches for the game?
2. Are you using a gamepad, or keyboard/mouse for controlling the game?

My first player-created team will probably be the AuricTech Golden Carp....

No patches, I really haven't looked, to be honest. I'm using keyboard and mouse, because that's what I have.

Did you get 2003 or 2004?

Did you see my post asking for graphics help on the TML? So far, nothing.

Golden Carp? Cool. I'm temped to do the McMurdo Penguins.

2003, and yes, I did see your graphics help post. Sadly, my older brother is the one who got all the art genes, leaving none for me....
