They're here, man. Go to the NFL 2K5 section......

I can't believe ANY of you actually believed they would do something like this for you lmao

Your lucky to get 2 patches! EA has completely lost all respect from me and many of the people I know that play the game.

It's time to take out the garbage

Bingo, you nailed it on the head.

Having been on the marketing end of a software company in my past, I hate to say it but no matter how much work Ian wants to put into the game to make it GOOD, the suits that are in charge will pull rank and push him to make the game they (the suits) think will SELL.

And sadly, "features" like Backtrack, Madden IQ or maybe next year some nosense like an Add Bling to Your Player "feature" sells to the masses, not real football, good AI and great immersion.

It also sells to the "hardcore" judging by how so many people on here by the game every year. I just makes no sense to me. Just wait, next year everyone will be talking about how Madden is back just like they did this year, last year etc.

Haha, it's so obvious yet so few seem to want to admit it.
