4th and inches (Commodor64), Play Action (NES), John Elway QB (arcade), then the holy grail...Tecmo Bowl with real NFL players...then it was Madden with 11 guys and a different button for each reciever...the sky was the limit, I was hooked. I couldn't wait to see what they would come up with next. I would buy nearly every football game every year, I couldn't get enough...then about half way through last gen (PS2) it started fading. And after about 5 years of next gen I'm like meh...I pick up the Madden box off the shelf at GameStop, look at it, then put it back down...same crap....different year...Man I'd like to have that old feeling back, I got little excited about backbreaker but it's still not the same as the old days...
