This post is beautiful, my friend.

I'm tired of, everytime I have an issue, being told to do this, that, or the other thing. The fact is, I shouldn't have to use sliders to make the game playable. I should use sliders to fine tune it to fit my playstyle.

Like you said about the steak - when the steak gets to me, cooked to my specifications, it's then up to be to put the extra seasonings on it to specify it to my needs (sliders). But like you said, it's NOT up to me to finish cooking the steak because the cook didn't do it right the first time (unfortunately, what sliders are in actuality, spending hours upon hours of testing and balancing sliders sets to get a realistic game experience - that's not MY job, I shouldn't have to do that).

It's not specific to sports titles either, every game gets patches these days.

As someone who is struggling with the decision to keep or trade in Madden, this patch isn't doing much in the way of convincing me to keep it.

I wont say I wont purchase NCAA and Madden next year but I can pretty much guarantee I wont preorder. Im gonna wait until all the real issues hit the fan to see if it is worth the purchase. The problem with Madden and what has been this generation is that they dont build on what is already there. If they just keep adding to the good and take out the bad they will have a great game...this is why 2k is so successful. We dont want to have a new formula every year or some new stupid feature we just want you to build and what we already enjoy...

Believe me I hear you and I do agree. I don't like the fact I have to have 32 team control. But I love playing console football, it is an addiction and damn it I will do this to make it work for me.

But seriously I am with you. It should not have to be this way. Case and point is NCAA 12. I am in year 4. I don't worry about the other 100 plus teams in the game. I just focus on my school.

I wish Madden had this aspect down. We can only hope and wish that they can tighten up the franchise AI decision making.

Until then I lose an extra 4-5 hours of my life micro managing the other 31 teams. As I am a gamer who plays at least 4-5 seasons per franchise on Madden. I insist on getting my $$$ worth and getting at least 2 years out of my sports games. Madden up until 2007 was the only sports game I purchased each and every year.

I learned over the years and years of sports video gaming not to buy them every year. But Madden was special for me for a long time.

Madden 10 11 and 12 has been a progression IMO and I hope 13 builds upon the great improvements in Franchise mode and fine tunes things.
