I couldn't have said it better myself.
As for things I am looking forward to about Madden 2007, I realize this is team-specific but ... I am excited about leading the Packers through the '06-07 season with a revamped defense and rookie A.J. Hawk in what will possibly be Brett Favre's last season.
I look forward to franchise/general manager dilemmas, such as whether to sign as many quality free agents as possible to make one last run for the playoffs in Favre's likely last season or save cap space and build for the future. I look forward to deciding whether to hand Aaron Brooks the starting QB job after Favre leaves, or drafting a stud QB, or signing a free agent quarterback.
Most of all, I am looking forward to football season, both Xbox 360 and real life, especially given the Brewers' recent struggles!!!
