If you want to enjoy madden more walk away from the forums. I’m not even kidding. I used to post on sports message boards a lot and I found that once I stopped I started enjoying the sports more because I wasn’t stressed about what troll04003 was saying today, or having to read constant negativity which was effecting my own opinion and mood toward the teams I liked.

So yeah for some people it’s better to just disengage from the online communities that revolve around things you like. That’s not because this is a particularly toxic community, it’s just the nature of message boards.
