I wont mind it being a Wii exclusive as long as they dont add alot of motion controls.

I actually knew something about this...from VERY good sources!

Too bad it's not a PSN/XBLA release of the original. At least you MIGHT have a chance beating me at this...

I am saving excitement until it is confirmed by the developer or publisher.

Things are looking better:

Mark Turmell is even involved! I've been wanting to see an update of this game forever. It seems like too few sports games are afraid to sacrifice realism for insanely fun moves and effects.

Could this be an indication that we'll see Podcast 2 outtakes?

This may very well be the only sports game I've been excited about in a very, VERY long time.

I hope Barack Obama is a hidden playable character, like Bill Clinton was back in the home version of NBA Jam: T.E.
