I have been coming to this website for as long as I can remember and even though it says I have only been a member since 2008, I was visiting even before that. Within the past 3 months or so I feel as if every other write up on the main page is extremely overcritical or negative. OS used to be where I came to feel good about sports video games and share my passion within the forums. Articles used to always look at the positives and still make you feel good about the game, regardless of its flaws,...

In my opinion, what truly hurts Madden besides the obvious game-play flaws is the lack of player's real faces. NBA 2K is one of my favorite sports series of all time because every player's face is in the game and gives it an authenticity like no other.

I fully understand that there are many more players in the NFL than there is the NBA but at least get the majority of the starters. I saw some footage of a pregame video for Madden NFL 13 and they showed Darrelle Revis with his helmet...

If that was the case I would go to work, take a dump on my desk and then order a pizza...but that's not reality.

It hit me today though that Madden and its developers do in fact have competition and it...

I don't know about anyone else but from all the videos I have seen thus far from E3...Madden just hasn't impressed me. I watched several clips and it looked exactly like Madden 10 from pregame to ingame animations - I saw nothing that made me say "cool" or get excited in the least. NCAA 11 has me much more excited from what I've seen this year..

I am a huge Madden lover so don't mistake me for a 2K fanboy - I just want to know if anyone feels the same as me about this and...
