If you don't like the game then why even come to these boards

I hate to admit but you're right. I love NBA Live, I'm a new fan of MVP but I despise Madden.

Its because the guys at Tiburon have made simply NO efford to make Madden a enjoyable game that it once was. Its been like that since the 2002 version IMO. Just look at the huge strides that the Live series has made and even the Triple Play conversion to MVP. The devs of those games put wayyyy more efford into they're games than the Madden devs.

My #1 gripe in Madden is the infamous comeback AI. I debated the hell out of the subject last year. Kanobi could tell ya I purchased Madden 2004 3 times last year because while I loved the game, it simply did'nt seem to like me. I can describe to you dozens of bogus occurances in my playtime with Madden. I can pop 2004 right now and tell you what is gonna happen based on the score alone. I mean fumbles, interceptions, scoring drives...you name it, I knew when it was coming. I even displayed this "talent" to my friends a few times. In those times, I felt as if the control was out of my hands and I just let it play out.

I've totally lost trust in all the EA titles. Even though I will still get Live and MVP and maybe NHL, Madden will no longer get my hard earned money. I had some of the worst experiences with that game for the last 3 years. Its not even worth the trouble anymore.

Only reason why I still browse this forum is because I still have feelings for Madden. I know what its capable of but whoever develops the game will not utilize its capabilities. I wont consider myself a S*** starter but I'm here to just add my 2 cent. I know some of you are sick of hearing it but I cant help it. Until "EA comes up with a better way"(such a true statement), then I cant help but thrash the game. Its not to convince myself to not like Madden, its to convince you all to not like Madden.

I dont know if any of you have ever seen those ppl out on the streets in your city tryna convince you to vote agaisnt Bush, well I'm on a similar mission. Only mines is to vote against Madden. Hopefully the Mods dont consider any of my post trolling because thats the last thing I wanna do. I just wanna speak my mind. And if you dont wanna listen, dont read my post. Or dont respond.

BTW, I've played the 2005 version and I've seen all I needed to see in that game. Just incase ppl want to hurt my credibility.
