The MADDEN HYPE is gone

[Herky]

Part of this is due to age/life (I'm 36 now), but I haven't been pumped for a Madden game since the PS2 days. Madden 2005 was the last one that I stood in line for at midnight, and I haven't bought in on opening day since Madden 2008. I didn't even get Madden 13 until this past spring when it was $29.99.

The other reason is because I just don't like the direction that Madden has been going. 2005/2006/2007 was the peak for the title, and they just haven't added enough cool features to pull me in like years past. Madden on current gen has been pretty bad considering the time they've had to tweak it.

I'll probably still get the new Madden, but I'll wait a little bit.

I could never go bakc to 2K5 now. E.A.'s pre game controls are like second nature to me now, and I alwasy preferred it even when 2K was out there too. The graphics have not aged well, especially no HD or widescreen support? We can now share rosters, including teams of old, play online, play with friends. 2K had it's time man, but its time to move on. My favorite game right now is Madden 10, which as far as I'm concerned is the most fun football game on the planet. But I might change my mind with 25.
