And there will be people who can play and enjoy the game despite its faults. Its how its always been and how it always will be, and Madden is no different.

That's exactly the point CB. You know as well as anyone how I feel about The Show, at least. I simply listed those issues as examples of the kind of things people gripe about for each game and to illustrate that it's all subjective.

Madden gets more attention for the same kind of glitches these other games have. Again, the audience is larger. The glitches or "broken" aspects of Madden are no better/worse than nearly every game out.

As for how well it represents the sport (as some have mentioned in reply), that's a separate issue altogether. Patches are to fix problems with the game and fine-tune where possible. They are NOT there to fix subjective concepts like "sim." I never made claims of Madden's greatness (here's the hook-I DON'T OWN THE GAME!), I simply addressed the misnomer that it is more reliant on patches than other games.
