my start

i take you back, to last thanksgiving. i was looking into buying madden 08. i was on youtube, and searched, madden football. after going through a few videos, i find this.

this is the video that got me into electric football. i got right up after watching it, and asked my mom for an electric football game for christmas. she was born in the 60's, so she knew what i was talking about. she said, "why", and i showed her the video. she still didnt get it, but she loves me and bought me this game. i played it, and was beginning to get frustrated. i realized now why my mom asked "why". then i found this site. and i learned how to tweak (but am still working on it) and i learned rules and all sorts of stuff.

but when football ended, this game was put aside for a long time, and only now do i realize what kind of mistake i made. i am now trying to get into this hobby in a big way, you know, customizing, painting teams, being a tweaker. and i want to be in a league. and i have to thank you, MFCA, for keeping a kid interested in this game. and i shutter to think when all the kids from THAT time perish, and we have the kids of THIS time. will it still be popular, not as much, that is obvious, but i hope that more kids like the ones on here can find this game, and be social with it, and see that its better than any madden game out there.
