I really liked Madden for a long long time, but it never really sold me on believability. It was like everything would go perfectly and believably and then suddenly some unbelievable thing would happen... a few times that would make me say "that never happens in the NFL".
Playing against buddies online was good but playing the computer is the most frustrating thing in the world. Its like in the last minute or last possession of any half the computer goes into God Mode and my defense melts like butter. Zone defense turns into the Maginot Line and man to man is like Charlie Chaplain chasing the Road Runner. And its not like I suck at play calling. I know what a 46 Bear is and I actually understand what a Half Back off Tackle is. It just stopped working.
It was just too frustrating for me. Thats why I like NHL games. Fewer players and the only things that sucks ist he goalie sometimes puts the puck in on himself.
