Re: Are You Losing Interest In Madden More And More Each Year?
I voted yes. What follows is a 860+ word post to explain why. You wanna skip me, I understand.

Like someone pointed out earlier - I still have interest in football gaming, hence I'm on Operation Sports - but it's my interest in Madden that is starting to fade.

I am a video game fan FIRST. I was so hardcore into Madden 10 and Madden 11, I hunted them down and got them BEFORE...
