Why is Madden 11 acceptable???

Im a avid Football fan and once a dreaded Madden fanboy...sadly in recent years ( mainly since EA bought exclusive rights to produce the only NFL lincense football game)NFL Madden is...well maddening. First and foremost, whats with the aspect of adding anew and annoying useless feature every year just tominimize it to a non-facetor in the following yearsgame and removing it the year after that? Need examples?? QB vision 06,Lead blocker 07, Superstar icons 08, Backtrack system 08,Half time show 09, and more.

I think the most annoying thing of all is while there wasting there time on these useless features they could be putting some needed time in the Franchise mode and Superstar Mode.Both modes are becoming stale and uninspiring to play ( superstar modeis downright redundant and boring). These modes were once the bread and butterof this franchise, now itsbarely a sidenoteto online matches ( which is rightfully the leading game mode now)

As a avid Football fan and a gamer I think we all deserve to have a NFL football game that is not a shamble of ideas blindly patched together for a quick football fix, But delicately sewed together to form a shining example of America's #1 sport

When 2k sports put out their NFL game for $19.99, EA was really quick to buy the rights to the NFL. No competition means that EA can shovel the same crap down our throats every year. What they should do, is offer us updated rosters at the start of the new season for $10. Then put out a new game every 2 or 3 years. Then the new game might acutally have some improvements, instead of just a few little changes, that are usually more annoying, vs being called an improvement.

It really is amazing that they charge us $60 for nothing more than a roster update every year, and people continue to pay it. The last one that I bought was 09, and waited for it to go on sale for $34.99.

Yeah I think they realized that it was nothing new and they lower the price within a month...month too late for me. I just love Football and Games too much to pass on Madden :(
