No, this year's game has made my opinion on Madden turnaround. I was down on the series the last few years, but finally am having a blast this year. The game is trending in the right direction. I am halfway through year 4 in a 2 person online CCM and we're not even close to being burned out. Started out 6-10, 5-11, 12-4, and now 4-1. Madden has never had decent enough defense to make that a possibility until this year. It's nice to finally be able to play the game, actually build a team, and get realistic results week in and week out. The reason I had such a quick turnaround in year 3 was because my last 9 games were against 8 teams under .500 on the year. My lone loss in this season is the one team over .500 I've played.

I don't remember the last time CPU teams actually played like their records would indicate in a football game.

So if anything, this year's game makes me want to keep playing Madden and wanting NCAA more than ever.
