Genuine question, why is it hard for Madden to be a good game at launch?

Pdence267​ and BlockParty22​ 

I say the same thing to myself each year.

Then, as we get closer and closer to kickoff, I start to think "You're going to buy it anyway, you know you are, so...."

And then I pre-order.

Then, two days after launch, I only play it after updates to see if enough bugs are fixed.

Was there an update today?   LOL.
