Do I hope for it to be the best? Absolutely. It does anybody no good hoping for a bad NFL game to play this year.
But I'm weary of being disappointed year after year...even after I've poured my pessimism into the game and these boards the last two years in particular. I'm a sucker.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, everybody who doesn't say AWESOME!!!1 in every post isn't a straight up *****.
(PS. Grunt, APF started to grow long-toothed to me. It's the tremendous ACQB league that has rekindled my interest. All the drama that has went down in the league, I could do without and however and if it keeps going the way it is, I would rather not return. So I'm especially hoping for Madden to be good this year while being extremely pessimistic).
