If you love ESPN..Will you still TRY Madden?

OK folks..I'm a HARDCORE ESPN fan, and I absolutely HATE EA's penchant for giving us minimal improvements even though they have a maximum budget, but I will still try Madden, to see if the defensive improvements are significant. We all usually jump down the throats of the close-minded Madden fans, but will YOU be A hypocrite? Madden's butter smooth, super-fluid physics are still a draw for me over seemingly still robotic the feel of the 2K series, so I'm actually hyped for both.

Are you gonna try Madden this year?

Nope, I won't buy another EA football game until they have a new engine. The current one is too scripted for my tastes so no matter what EA adds, I won't like the game since I don't like the foundation on which it is built. Once they build a new engine, I will give them a shot again.

If you asked me a week ago, I would've said that I'm definitely getting Madden. Now, it's up in the air.

The best thing for me to do is to stop watching the Madden videos. I'm sure there is truly a good game in there somewhere, but these videos just make me cringe. And the more I see, the more I dislike.

I have bought Madden every single year for I don't know how long and the commentary and gameplay that I'm seeing now is eerily identical.

I like some of the defensive improvements that they "talk" of, but I just don't know at this point.

ESPN will undoubtedly have a bug. And depending how major it is, that will decide if I go and buy Madden in August.

No more videos for me.

I'm with Bondra. Got tired of scoring 50-60 points a game in my first few games playing Madden last year. It's easy to do once you are used to ESPN's engine since it's more challenging.

And just to prove my point... one of the final four scores in the Madden championship last year was 115-112. Yep, that seems realistic!
