Some one on the 8th page questioned whether or not Madden was being developed for consumers or for marketing. Modern economics and the basic foundation of capitalism dictates that the game is being made to attract the largest number of sponsors. This is the reason why the game is so broad, EA is attempting to appeal to the lowest common denominator among the masses, in order to diversify their potential advertising agreements to increase revenue.

One thing that is wrong however is the fact that the development crew takes a lot of heat for things they have no power over, this is unfortunate. I Actually like Madden 11 and enjoy playing online and with my friends, but for those who do not, its been said many times the best way to initiate change is to do so with your purchasing power as a consumer.

With the exclusivity EA has with Madden this has become extremely difficult, however at the current moment alternatives to this method of protest do not exist. Good luck.
