I agree with you 100% man, unfortunately if you express your views as anything other than positive you will get a negative response...Not only on this site but almost evry sports -gaming site that is pro-madden...Sometimes love is blind and people who stand by the game will overlook the SAME flaws every year..and will rationalize it by saying it will be in next years Madden..I too was a big supporter of Madden..matter of fact every one since the genesis days but for the last 3 years I just have that feeling that I am being ripped off...When I bought the 360 version I KNEW I was ripped off...so I myself will stp making excuses for Madden..I hear ya though
