I think the reason why some of us get bored with Madden lately is because the gameplay gets stale....
I can understand the desire to have new equipment in the game but the bottom line for me is I usually don't play Madden much anymore after 2-3 months because the gameplay has become stale in Madden 15 and 16
EA needs to go all out one year on gameplay make these damn NFL players animate like real players and stop having all 32 teams play the same on the field......
There are a lot of long time posters on here who barely post anymore about Madden because it's usually just minimal upgrades to gameplay and a bunch of Fluff Fluff things added to tie you over til the next release....
