Remove EA licensing to football

Time after time EA has showed us that they do not care about anything and I mean literally anything the COMMUNITY has to say we understand that online players and offline players do their separate things but in total we literally want a good game it’s a shame that games made in 2005 are still better than the stuff we call the future I NEVER do this internet complaining stuff but I have proudly bought this game since 08 and I now find it disrespectful that no one and I mean NO ONE has come out to say sorry or just an explanation on to why our money is being wasted and why they can’t do something as small as to make a game that works properly I already know this post isn’t gonna hit no one at EA because they don’t care but I’m only speaking as a person who’s bought the games and loved what it used to be

    I’m part of the really good madden days when they had training camps injury’s like broken collarbones and everything helmets flying off and create a team to now see this game being literally unplayable is disgusting

    @dripdasani808 I am totally with you. I found madden 09 so much better then the last five maddens. Granted the gameplay is a bit old school and slow, the latest games take control out of the user so many times, making old madden better the this madden.

    I'm with you guys.  I'm an old school guy who has played Madden since the very first one (yeah back when it was on a Commodore 64) and the height of the game was probably in 2005.  Guess what happened in 2006?   Yep, EA got the exclusive rights to the NFL and killed their only competition 2K Football.  Since then they have gotten lazy and greedy.  It's a cash cow with no allegiance to it's base.  My guess is if you went to the development studios you wouldn't find a single one who's ever played real football.

    Fire everyone involved and start back over, and just like when John Madden wouldn't sign off on a game that didn't have 11 on 11 they need QA people that understand football to review the products before they dump this broken junk on the customers.

    I think in think in this case the NFL is part of the problem, if not the biggest part of the problem.  (EA was much better pre-exclusive license)  No I think in this case the only hope we have is for the government to look at EA and the NFL and bust the exclusive license as a monopoly.  Or, if someone could effectively sue them for eliminating fair competition.  EA works for their stockholders, not their customers because they have the customers by the throat.  Dumb too because back in 2004 I bought 2k Football and Madden and liked them both for different reasons (Madden was better), but without competition EA has devolved to this garbage.

    @stahlherzog This really does suck knowing EA holds the exclusive rights I’m starting to just dislike this company in general I’ve never seen so many people complain about the same problem that doesn’t get fixed you’d think they’d fix stuff so we can stfu and play but no they’d rather annoy me with little things they can fix but then will send us a roster update gtfoh
