Will Brawl be like madden???
Can Brawl be a every age game, and will we see people playing on some sort of bus, on TV like in the hit show Madden Nation. We are going to have online, but still no ranking YET! What is your opinion on the subject, because really i think that would be awesome and attract more people to brawl..

What You Think??

You're comparing a sports title that comes out with a new game every year to Brawl? Their only similarities are that they're video games and have rosters. Otherwise, why make the comparison?

Madden only got shown on tv for 2 reasons

1.) Unlike other games, non-gamers know the rules to football. That has always been the classic problem with games on TV. Non-gamers don't "get it". Of course with the growing gamer population, specialty channels are changing their tune (Spike, etc).

2.) Madden is made by EA. Which is a industry giant. And this is their biggest money maker.

Brawl might be more worthy of tv play, but that doesn't mean its going to happen. Given the popularity of the series, it should.

The problem is most broadcasted game tournaments is that the chosen games are usually done via sponsers.

That's why Project Gotham Racing, a game that no one cares about the competitive circuit, gets broadcast play. Because the tournament that hosts it is payed for by Microsoft.

Yes, Brawl is THAT popular.
I hate TV and everytime I find myself watching it I instantly want to play a video game instead.
TV < Video Games
I'd rather play brawl then watch it.

I don't see it as an impossibility...in a way, at least. MLG has TV broadcasts on networks like G4. If MLG picks up Brawl as an official circuit game (like Melee used to be) TV broadcasts, at least of large-scale tournaments, aren't out of the question.
