A question for frustrated Madden fans........

[GiantBlue76]

I don't buy it anymore. I have another problem, it's called the SUnday Ticket from direct TV. A crappy Madden game I can live without, watching the Giants on Sunday (along with the other games) I cannot

I have Tecmo throwback and APF 2k8 to play. Both are great.

If there was another option I wouldn't buy it. But thats exactly why they pay the 400m for the exclusive rights.

I have not purchased a Madden game in 5 yrs, so I supported your comments 5 yrs ago.

I wont diss anyone for purchasing it. Hey if they enjoy it by all means get that joy, dont let anyone steal you joy.

We are all not the same. I do not enjoy the game at all, so I will not buy till I get a game I can enjoy.

only nfl replicated game out there since they have the license, and I love the NFL--plus, its JUST A VIDEO GAME.

I Play for enjoyment, if I wanted the REAL stuff, I would call up my buddies. Sure I want Madden to implement things that were in the 'last-gen' games, and it is frustrating how it seems like they started from square one on Next-Gen games...

But at the end of the day, its just a game.

Your idea sounds good on paper. I don't plan on buying this year at the moment cause I don't like nex-gen's game. Sales aren't everything tho. Madden has DLC, and recieves money from pop-up ads and other sources. Even the guys buying madden used are still giving money to EA if they are playing with the system hooked to the internet. EA has lost money for 12 staight quarters if I'm not mistaken. I'd still bet that Madden has been profitable for them that entire time.

If you don't like Madden but want football or the NFL, I would suggest finding an alternative game at least until 2012.

Because I also <3 the NFL, and because I think that with Ian and company in the mix they have and will continue to go a long way.

I for one am just realistic that no game will have EVEYTHING just right. Nor will it have everything I wish for. But Madden isn't so bad 'til I've decided not to buy it.

I still enjoy the new edition each year.

I haven't purchased it with my own money for 3 years... That said, I only buy it this year if they make significant strides in franchise mode.
