Please dont try your "Its not in the Constitution you have one" logic. Its about as silly as saying "the 11th commandment was thou shall have NFL video game".

What stopped other developers from outbidding, I would have to suggest common sense. Especially when you consider the number that was "leaked", it would be hard to imagine that much profit being made of these games.

However, an over confident game creator who plans on using the same game engines with little or no core upgrades or rebuilds for the next 6 installments might go for it. Plus they knew they could corner the market, so maybe that insane number is correct. If anybody over values themselves in the NFLPA.

EA has to tools and access to make the best video game, that's undeniable. Yet it still cant stride for stride with a 5 year old title built on seriously outdated hardware. No part of 2k5 should be better than M10.

Players wearing snuggies in cold weather on the sideline in M11?

Or maybe fans in the stands with team snuggies?

The people who made the Snuggie and Comfort Wipes didn't do so out of the goodness of their hearts. They did it to make money.

Until someone presents EA with a cost-effective solution to the "problem," it's unrealistic to expect the demand to be heard. Until then, stop buying Madden and play 2K5 instead.

Madden needs to fix the pass coverage of the defense. Anyone on the defense can have their back to the ball when it is thrown and always have the instincts to turn around before the receiver even knows it is coming in this game. This isn't real. Get it out of the game. Anyone in Madden can jump up high in the air and snag the ball for an INT. This isn't real either.

This happens too many times with one hand by anyone, and they can make it happen by going in one direction and stopping in a dead heat only to reach right back for the ball. This is way to arcade like, not simulation. There is not a good separation between the receiver and defensive backs or whoever is covering them. Not enough pass interference is called; my receivers will try to get by only to be bumped constantly and the ball goes right by them, but no penalties are called!

It is really annoying when getting passed a defender only to have them make a turn in the other direction and get suctioned over to my player for the tackle. Don't see that on Sundays. The turning seems to be very difficult and not fluent especially when doing screen passes. Fix this EA!

Any Idea when the details of patch 2 is going to be released? As far as saying what is wrong about the game and what is right. That is played out already. Everything that was needed to be said for both arguments has been said already. Right now we are at a different phase. If you like the game wait for patch 2 and enjoy the game even more. If your on the fence and are waiting for patch 2 , just wait and see what happens after u install the patch. If you totally hate the game, just move on cause trust me we have been heard and have made extremely valid points, and all we can really do is leave Madden alone all together or see what happens with Madden 11. I'm in the category of hating the game, but after a while hearing the same beef over and over gets tired.

Best post of the thread.
