Madden 2004 winning is probably the stupidest decision imaginable since it's the same damn game every year. So is Madden 2005 going to win next year? And Madden 2006 the year after that? Sports games should never be nominated for a fan-voted best overall award because sports gamers often don't play any other games and thus mess up the voting and aren't representative of the average gamers. A sports gamer is a sports fan, not a games fan.
I think one guy on the Penny Arcade forum summed it up best: Madden winning is like football winning an Emmy. "And the winner of best TV special of the year is THE SUPERBOWL!!"
Someone needs to televise the REAL videogame awards. I forget what they're called but they're considered the real deal by the industry.

I prefer Gaming Age's take on the show. It's much more in line with ours.

All awards shows suck.

Madden 2005 wont automatically win anything. There have been a few years that the game was worse than the prior year. (1996) This year i happen to agree its the best. But your comment on sports games and the people who play them is very troubling. If you sincerely believe that, i would like to know, why? I have been gaming since 1980 and love many games , all different kinds. Madden is great and so is Tiger Woods golf. I have 4 sports games, then RE1,ED,MP,Simpsons:H&R,Baldurs Gate, Zelda:WW and OoT, TS2, Burnout 2.
Everyone i know plays Madden, but also love other genres. In fact, they would say Maddens their favorite, but they still play and like everything. I think your logic is misguided. Theres also people who only liike FPS, but i dont think they're the majority, nor do i think the people you speak of are the majority.

I'm not directing my comment to people that play sports games I'm directing it to people who play nothing but sports games. There are tons of people who own a console (usually a PS2) just to play sports games. They don't own any other games and rarely even play any other games. They're like the most extreme casual gamer around and they often throw a monkey wrench in sales figures because of their one dimensional gaming tastes. True there are people who only like RPGs or FPS but they aren't as common as the sports nuts are. I've met people that own a console JUST for Madden and never buy anything else.

WWE paid them money and contributed two matches to the show. Namco didn't. Seems pretty simple to me.
And how did you get an uncensored f-bomb in your post? I got an error when I quoted your post.
