I remember lol.
Look the economy did not help Madden obviously, but the sales were declining before this year. As stated before, sales were declining when there was no economic crisis and when software sales broke new records every year, so there is no way that anyone could reasonably say that it is just the economy and not that the franchise is losing appeal. Not saying that you are or even were saying this, just that were definitely those that DID say this, and they could not be more deluded.
