Maybe he will learn the agreeing to disagree is OK, in the long run it provides much needed perspective.

Wow this thread got derailed quickly.

Maybe it's because I didn't really play Madden 11 that much, but this years demo felt really good to me. There are a few things that could use tweaking but the game looks like it will be solid come 8/30. However I will still be waiting at least a week to buy it after buying the buggy mess that is NCAA 12 week 1 and regretting it.

Agreed, and I'm still playing Madden 11 even now after I got the demo (only because I've become so entrenched in my franchise despite the bare bones mode that it was lol). Madden 12's gameplay is much better though.

Alright, time to get back on topic. Next person who mentions NFL 2K5 gets traded to IGN.

I won't mention it but contact them and see what you can get for me. You may be able to get like a stick of gum or something.

I think it's funny that 68% of people voted on the poll that the demo was either good or great, and yet almost all of the comments I've read about it from others give off the smell of average at best and mostly bad.

positive comments are always outnumbered by negative... In anything not just video games. One person will comment multiple times how much they hate something.

It's a given that unhappy people are going to be the most vocal about their feelings. Some of it is about Madden 12 specifically, and some of it is about their legacy anger toward the franchise.
