Re: To EA and Madden Consumers, Madden Is a Success

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS?

Because I don't care about Franchise, Superstar, or any of the features... I only care about getting a game whenever I want to play a game. 24/7, 365 I can get a game of Madden.

As far as I'm concerned Madden will always be a success as long as a game is just a button away.

When the day comes when Madden no longer has the appeal that makes players want to prove their worth at the mere suggestion of the title. OR there isn't enough interest to get a game against someone somewhere in the world within 5 minutes - Madden will have lost it's luster.

Fortunately, people care about who's better in Madden. Where other football games (NFL2K, BB, etc) are about playing the game. Madden is about the socialization of playing the game AGAINST someone.

I've met many people that once Madden is mentioned, will want to test their skills. I have met exactly 0 people playing other football games that creates the same 'challenge' between people. No one cares who's better at 2K, or BB. It has less to do with the NFL license because when the license was available to other games no one cared who was better at those games then either...

Might just be me... But Madden has no substitute - even when it sucks.

Later
Sure, if you and your buddies wanna grab a quick "play now" game, Madden may not be bad in your opinion....


But for offline franchise guys like myself, it needs work....
