EA sports madden video game rant

Let me be as blunt and as straight forward as possible; Madden is the same game every year. All EA Sports does to the game each year is add “new” player animations; which are basically just repeats of animations that have been in Madden before in prior years and taken out, then brought back into the game as “brand new”. Each new title continuously has an overpowered emphasis on either the offensive running or passing game in which some plays cannot be stopped no matter what you try. I am sick and tired of entering an online match-up against basically an unbeatable opponent that runs the same plays over and over again because there is an exploit in the game. You would think that EA Sports would care about making a lot of new additions and being innovative with every release, pleasing their fans. But The fact is that they know they are the only creators of a football video game now that NCAA football is out of the picture. This basically allows them to continue to make new iterations of a game while only updating player rosters, adding a few more animations and barely updating a yearly lackluster franchise experience. Without any competition from anyone else, EA knows that anyone who is looking for a daily video game football fix will buy their game even if it barely improves. It is strictly a monopoly, and until an underdog comes in and captures some of their fans, they will continue to deliver a lackluster and “broken” video game experience that people are sure to complain about but still will purchase. This is as far from simulation football as you can get.
