From my experience, the majority of the Madden fanbase is the same dude bro gamers that pick up Call of Duty religiously. The Madden games are fun but its become a joke how repetitive its become. I get excited every year for Madden (because I love football and don't have access to NFL2k). I get the game and then a month or so later, I'm tired of it because the luster has worn off and I've begun to notice that its still basically the same game I played last year and the years before that. I wish there were other options just to break the monotony already. Hell, I'd pay more than 60 if I could get me a new NFL 2k game. Anyways, enough of that, don't want to continue to derail this thread.
