That was great and just shoved the will some people had to play it that way. My buddy and I (who lives a couple states away) had to stay up most of the night the first time we did it because we did a fantasy draft. So I picked first, saved, uploaded. Then he downloaded it, picked 2 players, saved, uploaded it. Then I would download.... rinse, repeat. Needless to say it took awhile but we had a blast regardless.
Because there is no alternative and for NFL fanatics, like me, you need their fix every year. I get bored with these Madden's usually by November or December now (not counting Madden 10/Madden 06 last gen). Go figure, the two times I have played nearly year round is when I could play franchise online ('11 doesn't count, nobody wanted to play the broken system anymore).
(short rant)
This is a shame, because all sports games should get more gameplay hours than this. The amount of time/fun I get from other $60 titles greatly trumps Madden in every way. It's a sad world when games like Halo/Fallout/Red Dead Redemption/Call of Duty/God of War/Bioshock/Oblivion/Gears of War are all the same price as Madden 11. Every one of those games beat Madden in every department. Yet they survive on a $60 price point, despite not putting out a new game every year, or relying on "micro-transactions", or having an online pass.
This is why I get annoyed when people argue for EA and their money hungry ways. You just don't see this type of robbery in other franchises. If we had to pay a fraction of a dollar for our games by number of hours played on it (which most likely is in our future), I would be paying upwards of $100 for those said games above and still be satisfied because of the entertainment returned. Madden... I'd pay $30 at most at this point.
(end rant...for now)

No offense, but you cant blame EA for being money hungry considering youre one of those people giving them money for a game you admittedly dont even really like.
I am as big of a football fanatic as anyone and love videogame football, but I still dont give Madden my money when I know I wont get what I want out of the game. Thats a terrible excuse unless you have absolutely positively nothing better to do with that time and money.
If people dont like the game...fair enough. But I can only laugh at people who spend $60 on ANYTHING they KNOW they dont really like, and they whine about the companies "money hungry ways". Its not "robbery" when you willingly give them your money, especially when you have a good idea what the end result is going to be.
Ridiculous in every sense of the word. More "stupidty" than "robbery".
