yeah im mainly talking next gen for me personally the biggest reason i went out and purchased a 360 so fast was for that commercial
id say that the greatness for the ps2/xbox started in 04 after 06 they didnt really do much with those versions cause of focusing on next gen but was still a far superior product 09 was the first year i didnt feel the need to go out and buy the ps2 version of the game and play that more than the next gen

Finally. An article that makes sense.

Look at other sports games w/ competition.

The Show is the class of Baseball...2K tries to compete, but the Show is King.

NBA2K has had competition, but have developed a game that is unparalleled.

Common denominator is competition.

We are all guilty of giving way to the thought that Madden has been a success.

We knowingly bought a poor product by comparison to the aforementioned Next-Gen Sports titles ONLY because we wanted a PRO football game to play. At least I am...

I'll admit that I had fun w/ this years Madden. It was far more playable than any of the past three titles. However, my time with this game was completely RUINED once I played and won the Superbowl and had Kevin Kolb's character in all of the post-celebration cutscenes.

Vick was taken out of the game late in the 4th Qtr since the Eagles were up by 28 pts, and Kolb came in to throw 1 pass and hand the ball off a dozen times. I guess because the game only "looked" at the depth chart to determine what player model would be used in the cutscenes is why Kolb became that guy.

I only mention this because these are the constant issues that plaque this title.

I predict a quick ban for the OP for criticizing the almighty Madden, something this site apparently frowns upon.

I don't know how you can say OS is beholden to Madden, when WE published the article.

Keep on topic, guys; talk about the article , not OS

Guys you have it wrong. You can talk as much **** on this game as you want, you just have to do it in a way that actually has a point. If you just bitching just to bitch well that when the hammer comes. Its absoluty comical to me guys seriously think this is an "EA" site. Try browsing outside the madden sections and post enough to know what the site is about before making these claims. They are annoying and very very played out.
