I see what TLC is saying, and I agree. There ARE people on here that think that if Madden had comp, that it would magically be better, by, I don't know... osmosis or something.

Whether you believe that EA/Tiburon sits on their laurels or not, when there is no comp, the fact remains, that regardless of whether there is comp or not, Madden does NOT HAVE to improve. Even if you believe that competition will "force" Madden to put more effort into their game, that means nothing. So what if they do put more effort into the game? Who is to say that that "effort" will yield anything remotely better? You might give them an 'E' for effort, but they could still make an 'F' of a game.

If you can't make a good game, you can't make a good game. I could play pick up games with Kobe, Durant, Lebron, Wade, Melo, and any other star you want to name. Doesn't mean I'll ever be on their level (except in my mind lol).

Now before a mod comes to say stop bashing the devs, I'm not. I'm speaking hypothetically. And hypothetically speaking, if you are incapable of making a good game, no amount of comp (unless you steal their work or something lol) will change that.

That's all TLC is saying, and he is absolutely right. Theoretically speaking that is lol.

So all those that think that comp HAS to make Madden better, that is just pie in the sky capitalism talking, but it isn't based on anything other than that.
