We Told You So (re: Madden 2006)

Aside from presentation, 2K has never been better than the Madden games. There's a reason why most Madden players have rejected the 2K series like a baboon heart transplant after a "2K evangelist" tries to get them to convert.

Madden fans don't like real football. That's the problem. When their stupid ass over-powered offenses are taken away and they are forced to play defense, they don't like it. Madden is about as realistic as Blitz.

Dude, the website/magazine review card is a useless arguement and has nothing to do with how I formulate my opinion on a game. And I never said the 2K football games were bad, just not as good as the Madden games. Ever.

Of course Madden fans don't like real football. That's why real football fans haven't played video game football since Tecmo Super Bowl and until the first 2K game was released.

Madden hasn't been the best football game since the Genesis days. Even GameDay owned it until 989 got sloppy.

Gameday '98 was the height of the series and it still wasn't as good as Madden. I will say that Gameday '98 was probably the closest competition Madden has faced up until 2K5.

....

What?

So Madden isn't as much like real football as 2k5 but it's a better football game?

I'll probably buy Madden simply because I have to live with it for six more years and might as well get used to it.

Yeah. I appreciate him proving our point.

Once again half of TNL over reacts to nothing. YAY!
Has Madden ever been that much of an improvement every year? No. So what the fucks the difference this year?

The difference is that consumer no longer have a choice, so we bitch louder than usual.

I was being facetious.

Stalemate!

LOL, good show.

I wll say that the NCAA games > Madden, though.
