But they have to pay extra just for the names, and I don't think that goes to FIFA

EA FIFA licensing

I think they buy it off FIFA because they govern football. And I'm sure they could sue them if they included the names without their permission. Though I'm sure I remember someone telling me PES has a cheat to unlock the proper names and kits.

FIFA

I think for the most part the league... fifa obviously recognizes the value that it offers EA by helping it brand as THE source for the legit teams/players. I think theres some instances where some super famous players will negotiate their own deals and cuts.

I remember many years ago that for a long time Michael Jordan would not allow EA to feature him in their games... that obviously hurt em for many years until they finally gave up and probably offered Jordan an offer he couldnt refuse and or the conflict of interest between him and whomever it was that he was tied to expired / nike / whatever.

FIFA

God, you cant do anything theses days without some license bullshit to follow it. I mean i understand how you can get sued for it but its mostly that people just care about money and fame.

i probably just confused alot of people

It's always bothered me that Chelsea is London FC and not West London Blue.

They care about money because it makes sense... i mean EA isnt exactly giving away its games...
FIFA has its own costs to absorb in bringing in new fans and keeping the ones it has. Soccer is fun for you to watch and follow but at the end of the day its a business... so is making video games.. Things cost money.
It wouldnt make sense for fifa to incur the costs of its league and have EA piggy back and earn millions by feeding off the audience that fifa pays up millions to attract.

i absolutly agree with that. it would be bullshit for EA to just be THERE and take the money that FIFA earns itself.

WTF Emotional Roller Coaster!

I have an extremely crap day at school, find out my BEST girlfriend EVER is moving to Mission (City a few hours of a drive away), get home to find my stash empty, and then I check NG.
Right away I noticed my newest game was on the front page and I nearly shit myself from the shock.
I was miserable the entire day from all the bad news and disappointment. Seeing that game on FP made me a very happy camper. Then I read the reviews and ya... BAM! Incredably wave of guilt, disappointment in myself, sadness, and blah blah blah ALL hit me. I started going through it all in my head. "Fuck, the games a bomb. I screwed up, poeple hate it, hate me, and still hate The Duders." after a few moments I came to the conclusion that I simply don't cut it.
I can't say it ANYMORE better then that - I don't cut it. It's like the Portal is picking a basketball team. I'm tall, I'm fit, I know my stuff, but I just can't make it for some dang reason!

And here I was all depressed, then I come here... to this dang thread, and I see the posts saying congrats and etc...

Never... has a forum brought me to tears.

Truly... thank you... thank you all so much.

NG may not like me all that much, but I'm goin' to creep around here and upload my dang stupid lil' stoner toons/games until I either win 100 awards or retire!

Your damn right you will, my last game flopped as far as I'm concerned and it was about a half year work in progress (college slowed that one down majorly). Amyway, just learn from your "mistakes" and do a better job next time, all we can do :)

Sorry to hear about the girl, When I was 18 I met a girl, we were together almost two years and she moved away to go to college 3 days before xmas last year, it happens to the best of us. Things always have a way of turning around for the better eventually, just sucks not knowing when that is I suppose. Bottom line, don't let shit get you down and keep doing what you like, the hell with people, do it for yourself.

WTF EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER

Don't worry about it duder. Us newgrounders are bitches. I personally like the game a lot, and I don't see what the other users don't like about. Maybe the whole newgrounds community are on their periods with abnormal affects or something.

Anyway, calm down, you got front page.

About your girl...ouch man. You guys could still hang out on the weekend and such, but that really sucks. It happens to all of us, just don't get too down about it

You guys are too nice. HUGE Thankies. :3

I'm the weird flash artist on NG that nobody really nows about or likes all that much, but I pop on FP once and a while. That's good enouph for me. I'm somebody. I exist on NG.

But seriously no more talkin' 'bout it. That's enouph.

Here's a list of some usual topics to switch too. ^^
What makes a reg a reg?

Why? I happen to love cocks!! ;D

Duder! You're like Caviar... or giving head... at first it's like "I ain't puttin' that in my mouth!" But once you do, you quickly realize how awesome it is and then you can't get enough! You're an acquired taste. <3

I'm happy to say I've never had a 'girlfriend'.

...or Caviar!

Reviews
Don't feel bad Duder. We love you. People are angsty and crazy on Newgrounds, you got to fight past that.

I will thanks John. ^^

Also I FEEL POWERFUL!

I googled my new game and found it one a bunch of different sites. So I changed my API on it so it redirects to NG. >:3

It's like kicking someone really hard in the nuts. It's mean but it feels good.

Probably not a good idea, since you have the NG API in there. The more sites its on, the more views, so that means more moneh

@ Duder - Just stick with it, you'll get there, look at anyone's submission history and you'll see that improvement takes time.

You can edit that part/thingy? 0.0

Also, yeah... I could probably rank in more views/money, but the money don't matter really and I'm cool with sacrificing a few thousand views to keep The Duders on NG.

NG is The Duders' home. Plain and simple. :3

The future of 2d in Flash

With Flash Player 10 and all of the new breakthroughs in 3d flash technology now, I can only guess what kind of effects this may have on the coming Flash submissions here on NG and everywhere on the web. 2D might become very uncommon and 3D might be the new 2D :O Oh noes!

From the games point of view, at the rate flash is developing now, we should have our first multiplayer online flash CS clone in about 5-6 months. It's quite spectacular but is also a big push against the fun 2D games flash game developers are known for.

Your thoughts?

Cool

2d will never die.. theres a certain hand quality aspect that i love about it... 2d animation still caries the spirit of the artistic touch.. the imperfections and personality of the brush stroke.... 3d is very polished and machine like... sure its pretty but sometimes beauty lies in the inperfections of the human touch. IN MY OPINION.

Seeing a marc m cartoon in a pixar style would look terrible.

i am wasted but i am totally not booking any rediculous trips this time!!!!

oh yea penis.

What's with the penis?
