I Think It Is Happening!!!
I think it might be the year people are finally done with madden. I first noticed it a couple weeks ago, the forums weren't as active as they usually were this time of year. However, in the last 5 days...it is dead on this forum. Besides me and a bunch of Superstar and MUT players, no one is on here. Just look at this section of the forum, there aren't any new posts. This makes me very happy. The reason it makes me happy, is because I think a lot of people are just done with this game, and they are going to go back to the version the disliked the least.
Guys and gals, I really think this is the start of something! For the first time in my life (45 years old), I think a tipping point has been hit, and a lot of people are out on this game, maybe permanently. Even on the Matt 10 sliders forum on Operation Sports is dead. People are saying they are done, and there aren't a lot of posts. The mood over there is...bad. It is like they are defeated.
The yelling and complaining has almost stopped, except for me because I am a crazy person. And when people stop complaining, that usually means they no longer care. And if they don't care, they are probably not buying the game next year. I know there is a 0% chance I buy it. This year was it for me. There are issues with this game that would be bad if it was their 1st year making it.
There is finally momentum here people...and the momentum is silence. I know they have noticed it. There hasn't been a moderator on this forum in over a week. Something is up. madden is in trouble. I think everything hinges on this next update. If it really is a bunch of stupid stuff highlighted by "reshuffling x-factor and superstar player" it is game over for madden. And I think they might know that...
