We just don't go to the movie or we buy another brand of car. That's what is so good and bad about the whole Madden-exclusive thing. No perceived choice. But we are getting a feedback channel. Maybe we'll "have the wisdom" to use this opportunity for good. Words can either be a soothing balm or weapons.....

Word. Nicely said.

Of course not, that would get in the way of the blind hate fest.

Considering their graphics and fonts change every year anyways, this isn't a very logical statement.

I haven't seen much change at all on next gen. All the in-game fonts and graphics haven't changed at all. This is the first year that it actually looks like they're changing the in game presentation.
