I cannot recall the last time that I didn\u2019t purchase the yearly Madden roster update; I\u2019m certain it has been forever and a day! Two weeks and a day into the release of the 25th anniversary release of Madden, I feel no remorse for not shelling out a few duckets to EA Sports; not even a twinge of doubt or uncertainty about missing out on a new football game.<\/p>\n

A few years ago (back in 2009 to be exact) I famously decided to pass on NCAA Football 10<\/a>. Surprisingly it was actually a difficult decision. Not to trivialize people with serious addictions, but purchasing the annual EA Sports franchise updates is an illness. I survived, which probably allowed me to enjoy NCAA Football 12 and to a lesser extent, NCAA Football 13.<\/p>\n

In my opinion NCAA Football 13 was only marginally more interesting than the previous year\u2019s update, so once again I decided to sit on the sidelines. I cannot imagine that EA Sports went all out making their newest PS3 version of NCAA Football compelling when they could be working their way out of various<\/a> lawsuits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not to digress too much, but enough is pretty much enough, which has carried over into Madden. I may look towards a PS4 Madden 25 purchase, but that is still in the air. As it stands now, I can still play last year\u2019s Madden 13 and be perfectly content. For now \u2026 until the PS4 Madden itch kicks in \u2026<\/p>\n
