For the new generation gamer crying and whining....

[njskillz]

....about all things NOT related to the actual game of football, THANK GOD for us old heads who played videogame football when it was red dots scrolling across the little screen, 5 yellow stick figures against 5 blue stick figures, electric football with 22 painted plastic football figures on bases vibrating on a sheet of metal, etc. No Dynasties, No Franchises, no worrying about CPU vs CPU, no holding "cyber meetings" with players, players wives, pricing popcorn, etc. It was just people who loved the GAME of football and wanted to emulate any way they could. There would be NO videogame football industry if it you guys were in our place. Why? Because so many of you are so concerned with so many things NOT related to the actual game of football. How in the H*LL did it turn into all things not related to the actual GAME OF FOOTBALL is beyond me. It is absolutely pathetic to hear you young heads talk about how "...without Dynasty mode, the game loses its appeal after a few weeks.." Are you kidding me. You guys sound like a bunch of spoiled babies. What is on the cover of these games? A FOOTBALL player making a FOOTBALL play. NOT a General Manager, a Player Personel Director, a Stadium Builder, a Financial Advisor, Head of Stadium Security, a player agent, a CIO, or anyone else you cats aspire to be! It is a FOOTBALL simulation, yet, we get impressions where guys are talking about everything BUT the game of football. EA has been giving you NON football fans everything you wanted these last few years, to the detriment of us actual football fans. They decide to get back to the basics of FOOTBALL and you guys start whining and crying. Is this a perfect game? Of course not. But it is the most realistic looking and playing game they have put out in a VERY long time. Contrary to what the new generation thinks, old heads grew up then grew OUT of Madden when it was obvious that other companies were more concerned with the actual game of football and not just making money. What the exclusive license means is that they know they have to appeal to a wider audience now because as they found out with Madden 360, there are many out there who aren't drinking the Kool Aid.

Does your mom pay for the "current gen" games too?

While you're on your soapbox, could you refresh my memory, did you all pay $399 + $60 for those games? If so, then thank you for your sacrifice.

[VanillaGorilla]

Then, by using your logic, someone should just download the demo for the game, since it's basic FOOTBALL, and spare themselves $60?

I find it incredibly amusing that your name is Jack Mauer and your post count is 24. Don't post ever again for that reason alone.

Good Lord man, use paragraphs...
