Madden Reality Bites

[Thinking Out Loud]

I didn't want to post this in another thread and come across like I am trolling or hating. I want to apologize to the next-gen Madden pessimists for me getting carried away in a few posts and coming at them like they were off base. The Madden hype train is very very powerful force and the best part about these 6 years of next-gen Madden, has been the marketing, hands down. To paraphrase the late Rick James, "[Hype-train] is a helluva drug!" LOL

Ever since the news started rolling out about Madden 12, I have become more and more excited about enjoying a next-gen Madden for the first time. This week with the release of franchise info, I was fit to be tied and ready to preorder. I say WAS because while searching Google for some indication of online franchise receiving these same upgrades, I ended up finding and reading a franchise blast from the past.

Let me also state, I have nothing personal against any of the Madden developers and believe they are just doing their jobs. However, any optimism I still have in Madden 12 actually living up the EA hype, comes from OSer Adembroski being newly added to the team. Keep fighting the good fight AJ.

WARNING!!!!
