Very well said Ryan.
If Madden's game play was simply the best in the sports video game market, and it's franchise mode was as deep and correct as they come....I'd happily spent nearly all my gaming time with this one sports game.
As an older gamer...I just don't have the time to spent playing several games. So I can't really justify spending hundreds of dollars on multiple games each year. Give me one outstanding football simulation game...and that's where I'd spend all my gaming time.
And I completely agree with you Ryan. With Madden's sales position in the sports gaming market...there really shouldn't be a sports game to rival it. Imo.
