I mean.. are they just not getting enough carries or is everyone only averaging 2.5 ypc? Maybe the difficulty level or the sliders affect it. Maybe actually playing affects it. Maybe I'm just giving EA too much credit, but I find it hard to believe they'd let something this bad slip by. If it's as bad as you're saying, you'd end up leading the league in pretty much every catagory.. how can a playtester not notice that? Instead of simming the season, why doesn't someone play like the first 4 games and see how their stats compare to the rest of the league?

OMG, It is broken!

Vick + NFL Rushing Title=a broken engine
(and this is just one absurd example of the stat engine created by monkeys)

Well, if I had nothing forcing me to put out a quality product, I'd sit on my *** doing nothing all day too. It's not so much the people that make the game, its the higher-up dickheads who decided to screw over football gaming for the next 7 years.

I'm gonna play 30 second quarters

Dude whos crack pipe have you been smoking? What you said is like a man telling his new wife "Im only beating your azz 2 nights a week, its a good foundation to start with"...so I guess next year he only beats her one night a week lol. Give me a break...

The sad thing is there are Madden Fanboys who are STILL happy about the EA NFL deal which is dumb and makes no sense. Before, you had Madden and other football titles as well.. Madden fanboys could buy thier broken game every year and the rest of us could go buy other football games. How could anyone in thier right mind think it was a good deal for us? In a sick twisted way, the silver lining to all of this is that believe it or not *gasp* some Madden fanboys are starting to see the light and why the EA NFL deal was bad...the sad thing is that it took them this long to figure it out. It was like not realizing 2+2=4 until you were in your senior year in High School. lol

Here is my question. Name a good sim/stat engine in any game. It always seem this is an yearly complaint.

I think in year 3 of the exclusive agreement gamers will really get upset because of the lack of progress in the game. I dont own a 360 but I have Madden 2006 for both PS2 and the PSP. People said you couldn't judge the game by the vids but it seem too much this gen.(player interactions) I just couldnt but a strip down game and then call it next gen. Madden next year will have all these "new features" from last gen cycle. I just dont like being jerked around.

I think it will take tons of r and d to develop a quality sim engine and I dont think EA really cares. New staduims yes but a sim engine heck no.
