I cannot believ I just read this. Don't get me wrong I do not hate the game I play it, but when you have to spend hours messing with sliders, that don't work, hold back during game play to keep it some what realistic (special teams), and hope your dynasty doesnt crash, its a little rediculous. 3 years these games have been on next gen and most of the features that made them good on ps2 and xbox are left out of the game. It is like some people have come to expect a $60 peice of crap and are starting to like it. Well I am from the old school and I will never accept these dumbed down games.

Aren't most "old school" games pretty much dumbed down?

lol...sorry, that comment just tickled me for some reason. I personally can't take the majority of the comments in threads like these too seriously. Anyone who has such a dramatic reaction to something they haven't experienced for themselves yet is obviously not going to view the game from a balanced or reasonable perspective...and I'm not speaking of just the negative reactions I think the game looks much improved and will definitely check it out...courtesy of blockbuster. If it's not, I'll move on...bigger things in life, IMO.

I don't think there's a chance in hell that Madden tops NCAA. I haven't been content with a Madden game since the one where Vick was the coverboy. '04 or '05, I can't remember.

So no one is allowed to buy or like Madden.

I'll buy Madden 09 this year, therefore I am a pawn of Ea and have an iq of 12.

I am enjoyin ncaa which is frowned upon by the vocal minority of this community.

...I agree though. It's like Spank always says: people often lower their expectations to meet whatever Madden is going to be that year.

Let me say that there's nothing wrong w/ liking Madden in its current state. But it's mind boggling that gamers within this sim community can still look the other way in spite of the continued absence of the fundamental aspects of football in Madden.

Looking at your amount of posts, I highly doubt this .
