"THE CRIB" I'm still working on emails and answering your questions about fp gameplay, but for now here's a little info about The Crib, since a lot of people have been asking about it. It's a side feature, not a gameplay mode, although it is tied into gameplay. You can navigate around inside a 3D model of your house, and you can change it around, like the type of flooring, rugs, decorations, furniture, etc. (Yeah, cuz every football fan I know has a secret desire to be an interior decorator…) It looks like you get more options to change the crib around based on the number of "milestones" you have as you play (points, wins, yards rushing, etc.) There's also a jukebox; it only had a few songs on it that were pretty lame, but I'm assuming you have more options as you win more games (or maybe you get to produce your own music, I dunno…doesn't every millionaire baller have his own record label?) There's also side games you can play -- a football trivia game, an air hockey table, and a paper football table (the old "flick the triangle" deal). It's kind of an interesting idea I guess, and the side games are kind of fun, but overall I can't see getting real excited about this mode. I guess some people will get into the competitiveness of it, to see who has the phattest crib, but I wasn't blown away by it. I mean, it's kind of a cool diversion, but it's not something I'd necessarily get into regularly. Posted by beta-7 at July 9, 2003 03:53 PM

Posted by: laxman490 at July 9, 2003 06:42 PM I was wondering if we should arrange a time with Century 21 to look at property in the downtown Manhattan area for our new cribs??? LMAO Personally, I would like to say thank you for this Fuji moment...it's been very entertaining to say the least...=Madden BS and to all of the nerds of the world like me..LMAO) Posted by: Maurice at July 9, 2003 06:58 PM what a waste of time!
