...and if you need 4 players then connecting wirelessly isn't exactly some cumbersome thing to do, is my point - and most people probably do so even for single player. Just because something doesn't have 4 'ports' on it has eliminated co-op gaming. Software/the market has.

The problem isn't 'we need more consoles with 4 ports'

In fact, I bet a lot of people think their play and charge kits count for being 'wired' too, when they're still connecting wirelessly.

There aren't even any wired official PS3 controllers....

I use my play and charge kit a ton, but disconnect when it is green.

On topic, I agree. that was a ton of fun.

I used to have my two friends I played Madden with on my NGC memory card and latter on my original XBox Hard Drive. We would compare stats against each other. We would also go back and compare old saves of prior versions of Madden too to see if we got better or worse.

All that stat tracking was nice. Of course Madden on last gen had a lot more REAL user control. For example, back in the day you had to push the button at the right time to make a user catch or pick. Now you just hold the button you want and the computer does the work for you. It's sad really. I remember watching YouTube links about Rocket Catching in Madden 09 and how they would say "Just hold Y/Triangle." Also, when you want to try and shed a block, you just flick the Right thumb stick left or right. Up and down asks for you to get pancaked regardless of what the controls say to do... and just flick it again and again as the animation plays out until it works. The old mini games used to matter.

The mini games used to teach you how to play Madden better. They were fun and fun as co-op challenges. My friends would often want to start a day of gaming by playing some heads up mini games to "warm up" their stick skills before we play a "serious" franchise match.
