Instead of having a "25" list, they only need #1. All of the other stuff is pretty much horse-****, since other games did most of them first and a lot better. I also will still blame Tiburon. Just because they are the only game, it did not mean they had to embarrass themselves and **** over the community by making the biggest colossal fail of a product ever to hit the sports game genre. When you have all access to the NFL, brag about your realism, lie to the consumers and you can't even get things like a wind meter or the schedule right, you know there are big problems. Anyone who works on this game and goes home thinking they created something is either smoking some really good stuff, or quite simply lives in a fantasy world.

I think the current dev team is putting Madden in a much better place than the game has been in years though. I think were a lot closer to the good years of Madden 92-05 than people realize.

One thing I will say about those years is, the reason they were so good for me is because I didn't JUST have to play Madden. They would've definitely been a different experience if I only had Madden to play.

9. The Run Game We know this is at times wonky with the new infinity engine but if smoothed out the potential is enormous. The prospect of seeing your O-line double team Justin Smith to open up a huge running lane is a dream to any diehard football fan who masturbates over blocking schemes.

Knowing they're overhauling Defensive and offensive lines this madden, coupled with an actually line coach being down there one can only dream! Not to mention give us a working pass rush!
