lol...those are pretty big chunks of presentation, and the rest is virtually the same. So I'm just not seeing how Madden surpassed it at all. If you feel that's true though, so be it. To each his own.
I would also dispute the claim that EA "went out and did it" in terms of copying 2K's "code," seeing as the game still plays like Madden (which is to be expected...it should play differently. Most only want it to play better and don't expect it to be an exact 2K clone). It's a more polished and improved version of Madden, but to say it plays like 2K is inaccurate at best.
My real question is, do you post in this forum for any other reason than to promote Madden v. 2K argument? If you actually contribute to this forum in any way beyond argumentative posts, then please forgive me. It just seems you flip out in the Madden forum when people do there exactly what you seemingly end up doing. Why not extend the courtesy you wish to receive? Just an idea.
