I have a reason. Because otherwise SOME PEOPLE won't purchase the game at all.
I will never purchase another Madden game until one of the following occurs:
1) Madden becomes something that can actually rival the overall game-play/franchise/etc. of NFL 2K5
OR
2) Madden becomes available on the PC so people like me can MOD the hell out of it.
Until one of these two happens, EA will NEVER get a dime from me. I would even be willing to pay upwards of $100 for a PC game or a great Madden on the console. How about THAT for a reason?
It's up to EA to prove to me that they deserve my money, but as of right now, they don't deserve a single cent.
