No point in trying to argue with these maddenites. It's useless because what they fail to realize is that the majority of 2k'ers used to play Madden, while they have never tried to play 2k. What I mean by tried is to actually learn the game & how it plays on it's own merits. Instead they go into the 2k series looking for Madden when the box clearly states 2k/ESPN. VC is not trying to imitate Madden & is clear on trying to seperate it's game from Madden. The majority of maddenites are closed minded & can't/won't accept change no matter how good another product is. This is to their disadvantage because in the process they are missing out on the greatest football title in this generation of consoles & at the same time keeping their favorite game at a stand still that will catch up with them by PS3/XBOX NEXT.
While they steady reward EA with their purchase for a underdeveloped product the VC team will steady innovate which will carry over into the next generation of console. So when you are playing the next Madden on PS3 & it only features a few graphic adjustments & fluff modes & the converted 2k'ers are playing photo-realistic graphics that actually is integrated with a tv broadcast thank your close mindedness for killing off the franchise that you love so dearly. VC is steady working for the future while EA is steady living off the past.
