Absolutely. I can remember just before EA got exclusive rights, there was some other series, I think it was called Quarterback Club or something. I can't remember who made it (989 maybe? I remember Rich Gannon and Brett Favre being on the cover) but I can recall even that game being superior to Madden at the time, and that's not even taking 2K into account.

When EA became exclusive I can remember being a little annoyed because by that point I'd only been playing 2K for a year or two, but I didn't mind going back to EA because Madden had always been fine enough for me. Fast forward a decade and it's just become unbearable.

It's depressing that it almost makes me glad I'm enough of a grown-up now that I don't have the time I used to to play the games so I don't have to feel quite so disappointed about the game being underwhelming.

Love how they update and BREAK my game. I can't play against another user in any CCM now that the game is updated.

Yep, Quarterback Club with Favre on the cover beat madden any day during that time period, and it was fun to play different versions of NFL football. Even if some of those games/developers were HUGE failures at what they did, at least those developers would disappear and make room for the big boys. EA should take some notes, as many of us think it's time for EA to hang it up.

This is good news. I've been criticizing the hell out of this game but i'll give credit for this.

I played every qb club game, they were fun. NFL fever also had some real good potential. I remember that was the most real feeling games in terms of feeling the heavyness of the players. They also had great replays and cut scene cam angles, the only thing they lacked was a lot of animations but they were definitely a promising competitor in nfl games.

On a minor positive note, some of the scouting isn't as expensive point-wise as it was before. Commenting on an earlier post, I was wondering why I was having issues completing passes all of a sudden. I do find my run game a little better with not as much tripping over his own feet and when slightly bumped. However, the issues with falling over...I have seen that still.

Can someone please explain to me whether the update will affect your career if you've already started one? Or do I have to start a totally new career in order for the update to work on my career also?

If someone could answer this so I know whether I will be wasting my time continuing to play my career only for it not to have the update imrpove some of the things they supposedly improved.
