I'm definitely not buying it. I got Madden 06, and it's the first time I've seen a game franchise actually get worse from one year to the next. Less options, same gameplay, and graphics that are barely better all add up to a big dissapointment for me. I would rag on EA for slacking off now that they essentially own the sports gaming industry, but Fifa 06 was so good that it made up for the poor quality of Madden IMO.
this is the problem with EA Sports imo. same thing, year after year after year with only better graphics (BARELY) and a new feature. what i think they should do is, have a MASTER disc for each of their games that come out year after year. this is PC compatable aswell as PS2/XBOX whatever compatable. then for 5 or 10 dollars, you can update the whole thing in the PC. updates roster, graphics, whatever. just an idea. original disc costs ~70 dollars, 10 dollar updates, id buy it. pays for itself in 2 years.
