EA inks exclusive deal with AFL

Again, thats personal preference, which normally means there should be more than one option out there, which now their isnt. I'm not going to buy something I wouldn't before just because they bought their competitiors out of the market. I've always at least tried out madden in the hopes that it actually is getting better, but to me it hasnt changed shit for years. I even bought madden 2004 for like 15 bucks from a friend because he hated it and said I could buy it from him for super cheap. I could have used that money towards a case of beer or something, because I never played it but maybe 2 times.

To me, Madden looks like the same shit that it did when the ps2 launched. You can thank all those improvements lately on ESPN and competition. But like you, I've bought my favorite football game since it came out, back on the Dreamcast.
