Wow.
Every little bit helps, and several MSU commits/target have Tweeted their notice that MSU is a playable school.  It's not nothing, certainly a help.

I’d be really interested in hearing the reasoning behind MSU being included and the other 3, particularly Ohio St, not being included.

I just noticed Bama wasn’t included either. What’s up with that?

Two possible things:


  • The teams are in there, but the schools didn't OK the use of their logos without permission in the tweet. 
  • The teams aren't in there, because the schools didn't OK their logos/etc to be used in Madden '21.

After the O'Bannon ruling (which killed EA NCAA Football franchise) it's possible some schools don't even want to touch this.

The “wow” wasn’t sarcastic. I was surprised to see MSU in there over the other teams in the Big Ten.

Apparently they had it last year as well.  They took out FSU and TT, and replaced them with MSU and Nebraska.  So no Big Ten at all last year.  Maybe it does have to do with school permission?

Weather was a primary concern for me, but not to the point I wanted to deal with California or Hawaii taxation.  Atlanta sales tax is 9% which is a bite.  We started going to a different Costco to save a few pennies on that rate as we usually spend $400 or so each trip.

We just went this morning, had a nice lunch at a beautiful place on the river, first time there.
I know it's just anecdotal and a decade+ apart, but Florida is much nicer with the 6% sales tax where I was compared to Arizona sucking with a 9% rate.

Cali folk are screwing up Arizona, Nevada and Idaho too.
They’re doing this by just leaving California?
