Take A Stand Against Madden

I see this year after year, people begging for the EA/NFL license to expire and for someone else to get a chance to make an NFL game. Then when the game comes out, most people buy it anyways. So this year I urge you, if you are on the fence or if you want another company to get a chance to eventually make a football game, take a stand with your wallet. Do not buy Madden. I can tell by the little bit of gameplay that I've seen that it is almost the exact same game that we've gotten the past 9 years.

Player models, jerseys, everything still isn't up to par graphically unless you zoom in all the way. The gameplay is still jerky, you can still see that once the ball carrier is being tackled that physics goes out the window.

If Madden is ever going to be good, it needs competition to push the development team. Competition brings out the best in people and that's what we need as consumers.

We shouldn't be charged $60 year after year for essentially the same game and we should stop being foolish enough to shell out that money. If you eventually have to give in to the football itch, buy it used for goodness sake. I'm just sick and tired of this, I'm not saying I want 2K (though I'd like to see them get another shot), I want ANYBODY to step up and give it a shot. Rant over.

You know people can dislike a game and still like the company that makes it. It's very possible people dislike the game, I hated 13 and I refused to even play 25, and this year I'm 99% sure I won't get it again. I just hate were the Madden series is going.

I actually had more fun with Madden this past year than I had in a long time. So I will likely keep playing it. I'm with the guys that have been playing football games since they came out, and with that said it is hard to argue with the progress.

If I want a real football experience I will go outside and find a game. If I want a video game for football I will play Madden.
