Then you are calling Chris(from operationsports) a troll, cause he just said the same thing in a write up that was on the front page a few days ago. If we accept whatever EA throws out, we won't see the improvements that we could see. Thats just simple truth with any company.

Has ApexBronx(aka Troof Chaser) come back to OS?

I don't know about you guys but I want to think about what play to call next instead of knowing that the same 3 plays a game will win it for me.

I'm going to buy it now just to boycott your boycott!

Who am I kidding, I'm buying again this year for my NFL gaming fix, to win the Superbowl with the Dolphins (because I'll probably never see it in my lifetime), and especially because of the nice improvements made to franchise.

No, 2011 was not as good as 2010. However I love football so I buy it every year. Also of all years to boycott I don't think this is the year. If NCAA 12 is any indication, Madden 12 could be great. NCAA 12 is the best football game I've played since NFL 2k5.

There are more important things in this world to boycott. Lets start with the government and taxes and worry about Madden later.

Ever heard of self control or house rules? You should try it sometimes.
If you find a play that allows you to beat the AI every time, just don't call it. Simple as that.

And besides, for some people like me gameplay is not as important as franchise mode, which they have finally improved a bit this year (although there's still a long way to go...)
