Fixing NBA 2K isn't hard, the game is a great title--easily the best sports game this generation (and probably ever) the game has so many great features and highlights that stand out--for example a post game that is so deep and varied that it literally defies description...and this is why the not-so-strong elements of gameplay are puzzling. No game can be perfect, we know this...but not addressing long-time issues is when you start to alienate long-time fans. As a developer, it's your RESPONSIBILITY...

I wasn't gonna write this, but if Chris can tell the truth (http://tinyurl.com/2wumbma) SO can I. Great read by the way, Chris...GREAT READ.

Well, that didn't take long.

Well. The Day has come. The time has come for The Decision.

We've got to decide if its fruitless to expect Madden to be anything close to a playable football game for the hardcore like myself, and whether its time to pack it in. Or whether this patch has undone many of the Evils of zero defense.
To their credit EA Sports has stayed true to their 9/23 deadline. They've released an 88MB download that is supposed to address the laughable defense more than anything else. Now we...

Watching Week One of the NFL Season and then turning on my console to play Madden left me with an empty feeling. While the game is only a representation of football, its not a very good one. We've gone and on about the complete and total lack of defense in Madden 11, but here are a few other things that left us perplexed as well:
