Let me save you the time and effort of reading up about Madden 2006. Here’s the synopsis:
“Madden sucks!”
“Madden’s not that bad!”
“This [insert new stupid EA Sports gimmick]-mode is really silly.”
“We can tweak Madden!”
Two or three weeks of slider creating, testing, etc.
“Can I get a copy of Bill [insert Harris or Abner]’s sliders?”
“Man, I hope they fix [insert running game, passing game, or franchise mode] next year!”
That’s it. Repeat and wash for Madden 2007. You can also insert just about any EA Sports game or formally SEGA sports game for “Madden” in the above.
So what’s your point Chris?
Different year, same story.
Well this is the first edition under the exclusive license so there’s a lot of ranting about EA’s evilness too. 😀
hehe, true.
Funny Chris. I have to admit that I buy Madden year-after-year and enjoy each new version. However, I do not spend my time looking for someone’s magical slider settings – screw that, life is too short.
I was not really a Madden fan until Madden 99 was released for the PSX (GameDay went to Hell after GameDay 98), so I guess I have only been buying Madden for 8 years in a row. That is $400 duckets, but I think in most years I get my money’s worth, even if I put in more time with NCAA Football, which I normally do with the exception of last year.
But I do understand your point, and it was good for a laugh.
