All of them had the same complaints: how does Madden not look as good, how come its the same game each year with updated rosters, and why is it that the same money plays work year in and year out.

point of the story is this: sales dont tell the whole story.
Man I hate everytime I read this. I have 6 friends who converted from Madden, My EB has 35 copies of Madden on the shelf and ESPN is sold out...blah..blah..blah..blah..blah.

Sales numbers do tell the whole story. It is a fricking business. Both companies are out to make money and even if all 20 of your buddies went and got Madden and returned it, EA has sold it and made it's money.
