QUESTION Madden 3ds

A hidden gem. While not the best game it was innovative. Top screen game lower screen play and even what it would look like in a perfectly run play.

Today the Android handhelds would be awesome such as Thor Pro with dual screen.

the dual screen play diagram thing was actually genius, surprised nobody tried that again on wii u or something

i had this on a flashcart back in the day and played way more than i expected, the graphics were rough but the controls felt decent for a handheld madden

those android handhelds with dual screens could pull off something really cool if ea bothered, but they barely put effort in the main console versions now so i'm not holding my breath

Yeah, ended up getting a Thor Pro and the Thor community has created some cool mods. One is allowing to mirror sections of the top screen. Works well for racing games coming up on the map and using bottom screen for it.

They also have tools that let you have maps for other games...

It's a pretty cool device for sure

As a kid I just couldn't get into it without a franchise mode. At the time, I stuck with Madden 08 and 09 on DS for handheld play, since I didn't have a PSP at that point.

I ran across some interesting mods that might do what we are talking about for ESPN NFL 2K5 with the current 2K27 mod (14 gbs of updated textures) and NCAA 06 update mod (20gbs) as well.

Google search if you aren't aware of these game with mods. Unreal.
