It's amazing how the Madden's in the PS1 and PS2/Xbox days continually got better, and then once 2006 hit, next-gen Madden went into the s***ter. Hasn't really recovered ever since. The amount of regression is astounding. "New" features in this years Madden and last years Madden were already in the Madden's from the PS2 days. How is that possible?

1. Because the consumers are naive enough to keep buying these essential roster updates with extra gloss.
2. EA's monopoly of the football video game and due to this, allowing themselves to marginally update their game because there is no competition.
