Let me clarify.
First off, no, I didn't mean that to be an attack on you personally. I apologize for that.
It's just that it comes across as really miserable and ungrateful--plus I keep seeing it over and over, people saying "So, Madden 2005 then. Gotcha."
Even if that wasn't your intention, if it's INTERPRETED differently, then it doesn't matter what your intention was--perception may not be reality, but it does count for a lot. Just ask the NBA's Roy Hibbert.
What I'm saying is that I'm thankful so much is changing for this year, and that has me really excited for Madden 25. Heck, I actually paid the five bucks earlier today to preorder it at Gamestop--five years ago, I NEVER thought I'd do that for an EA game.
Then again, I didn't play Madden 12, but did get Madden 13--I even started a topic once, asking which I should get, since I hadn't played a Madden game since Madden 2004.
And looking back, yeah, I should have gotten 12. I can see people's problems--but I still find 13 a fun game. Heck, one of my favorite PS1 games has a bug in it that can crash the game if you're not careful (Star Ocean: The Second Story, thankfully fixed in the PSP port). But I still had tons of fun with it.
Look, all I'm saying is that I want people to look on the bright side of this. If you think we should have had these things since Madden 2005, then play Madden 2005.
But how many people are doing that? Really?
Or maybe I just want to pay EA back for the excellent customer service they gave me a few months ago. Who knows.
