Update on Arena Football 2006 as a competator

[afdave]

Just an update, from what I've heard from people at the Arenabowl, the EA release of Arena Football will only be on XBox and PS2.

Which means that MaxFB will still have the "market" on "indoor" football for PC gamers.

Unfortunately, I think EA will play "hardball" with their AFL licence, even if they aren't using it to make a PC game. Otherwise, I'd think Dave could try to see if the AFL would want to licence their specific rules (the nets, etc) for use in MaxFB (or a 2nd edition/upgrade mode).

In my personal opinion, I prefer Indoor Football rules over Arena rules so its no big lose for me. I personally think the rebound nets in the Arena system are silly. Besides, with Indoor rules, Dave doesn't have to worry about those patents that the AFL has on its game.

the game will be available on PC...

Where did you hear that, because I've heard from more than one source who was at the EA demo at the Arenabowl that they only said it would be out for the PS and Xbox. No Gamecube or PC versions.

If you are going by links on video game websites, those are not official, they are just guesses by IGN, etc, as to what systems a game will come out in.

Anyways it's a seperate game so you won't get everything in one bundle
