[quote name='greendj27']I never really understand comments like this. I can understand some of the arguement about not much of a difference from year to year, but Madden has consistently been a very good game. Most sports games are similar from year to year. Its not like NBA 2K5 is going to be radically different than last year. I really do think it just usually boils down to it being popular to bash EA lately.
I haven't played this years Madden at all, but I did hear that they did add a new passing system, so at least they tried to improve it somewhat.[/QUOTE]
Good and bad is in the eye of the beholder. If you look at Madden from a casual gamers standpoint, it is an acceptable product. However, its flaws start to show when you compare it to previous versions, other titles or the real NFL in general.
I have no great dislike for EA nor a great love for ESPN. I am a fan of the NFL and as such Id like a product that does a good job replicating what I see on Sundays. Madden is NOT the best product for this. Not even close. The way I see Madden is its a game where the more you know about football, the less you tend to enjoy it. It really is a hybrid of arcade and sim. I will not begrudge anybody for enjoying it but calling it "sim" is false.
