That ain't why people hate Madden bro... it is because 2K stomped a mudhole in their asses with a $19.99 version that was rivaled to be the better game. So EA bought up NFL exclusive rights since they couldn't beat 2K by outdeveloping them and making a better product. Which they are now getting sued from... and EA will probably LOSE that lawsuit. When 2K was competing the price of Madden was much lower. Once exclusive rights to the NFL were bought, EA STUPIDLY immediately raised the price of Madden back to the average higher game price... all they had to do was keep the price lower for 1 more installment to make the pricing not seem like a pattern. Another dumb business move.

SURFFISH

Ken Hamlin would have nailed LT, that screen shot is inaccurate and needs to be removed as soon as possible.

ESPN NFL 2K5 was an AMAZING game. Many say better then what madden was. Whatever version you prefer, regardless, you can NOT SAY that the competition made for better playing games. Not to mention better PRICING!!! INSANE that 2K5 sold for so little. See this example of Madden owning the rights to the NFL and changing VERY little year to year and offering the EXACT same game with a roster change. now imagine Only sony, or ONLY nintendo or ONLY MS having a console to play with. Having RROD or having to pay $599 for a console or NOT having the option for HD. THIS is why competition is good and this is the best example of having three healthy major competitors for consoles a great thing. And I hope to high hell EA loses the lawsuit.

Surfish. Of all the things that ive read on here from all the different fanboys about the console war. Yours about Hamlin and LT was by far the most ABSURD thing to date by far. Hamlin couldnt tackle LT one and one if his life depended on it. LT is prolly faster, stronger and would break his ankles on top too. BTW not a chargers fan.
