If you want something that resembles real football well then just play some real football. Otherwise your always going to be disappointed playing a video game.

I'm not saying people should not question and drive EA to continuely improve their product and I'm sure I'll get a few flamer replies. My only point is THIS IS A VIDEO GAME. Play it for what it is worth.
But this game is not worth the $60 we paid.

Re: Remember this is a video game

(Sighs)

C'mon guys (especially the OP); does it really need to be said that Madden is just a video game? Absolutely not.

It bugs me out when people use the "it's just a videogame" card. Of course it is. But does that justify the bad animations and warping we see in Madden today? NO!

People do tend to come down hard on EA but looking around at the quality of other sports games out there, I'd say that people are more than justified in most of their complaints.
