Yes, but the anger wouldn't probably wouldn't have gotten to the flash point we are currently sitting at. When people put themselves inside of echo chambers they get riled up and basically the angry comments bounce back and forth between people just getting them more upset. It is not unique to Madden, or even gaming, but something that has developed throughout the internet era.

The reality is people don't run to the internet to find differing view points, people run to the internet to reinforce and validate what they already believed to be true.
