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".

The "money-hungry" and "robbery" reference is for the online pass and micro-transactions, which I do not give them money for. I listed many games that do not take it to the level as EA Sports does.

It's not that I hate the game, the problem is that it currently doesn't have much reason to keep going back for more. Maybe the new offline franchise will fix that but I know I would have played more with an updated online franchise.

I don't see how you can call it stupidity when I don't have a choice. Yea I can choose to not play, but I like football and am too old to play it for real, so I get the next best thing. I'm just disappointed with the return on my money spent every year.

Also, don't get me confused with a 2k lover (I know you didn't mention it, but just saying...). I tried 2k and yea, they had more options and better presentation but I liked the oldschool madden gameplay better. I've been a Madden gamer since '98. I've owned them all since then. I have a right to criticize when I have given them money for a product I am not fully satisfied with.

Finally, I play in my spare time. That's what spare time is for, otherwise I'd be out or working on something. During the football season I'm all about football. I watch all the games (not just my team), I go to as many home games as I can get tickets to, I play in 2 fantasy football leagues. I love NFL football. So during my spare time during the football year I want to play Madden, and not with previous rosters, that's not fun to me. I don't see what's unreasonable about that.

I would think a lot of people feel the same way.
