First off let me say I respect your opinion. We have totally different likes and views in sports title, and there is nothing wrong with that.
You feel the show is scripted, and I do not for example.
I feel the following titles have done a great job in capturing the authenticity of their sport.
MLB The show.
NBA 2k11
NHL 11
FiFa 11.
The problem with these titles that I mention is that they pretty much nailed it, so now the titles to a certain degree get taken for granted. There really is not much more that they can do. To me they nailed the game play side of things, and now all they have to do is focus on the bells and whistles. I really hope they realize this, and not ruin what they have accomplished.
Madden at this time can not make this claim.
I do not hate the title, and I really want it to do well, but for me that wont happen till they change that engine.
Anyways you deserve to enjoy Madden, and I will not get in the way of that. I do not have that right, but for me Madden is just ok.
