I am with you jmood and I hear more and more of those statments from guys who have never heard of this or any other msg board. I hear
Madden most often this year when I hear or see people trading it in while they can still get something for it.
It really is a shame. It is not because EA is "on top" I don't buy that - they are the only game to choose from so they are also technically, on bottom. Same thing happened with MLB2k5 - no one bashed it because it was "on top" - it got bashed because it had too many issues and was the only option on NextGen.
I just want good football.
Lack of competition leads to complacency. If no one is pushing someone to be better and that drive to be better can't come from within - they never get better.
THAT is human nature.
