He obviously doesn't. Or sports games period.
When you guys watch, say football since that is the topic at hand, from year to year, do you bitch and moan about it being a rehash of last season? Are you mad that some teams are usually in the playoffs? That the same players are generally pretty good?
It's clear that you don't even have an understanding of what a sports game aims to do.
Madden 2004 was my first Madden since 1995, I had been a primarily NFL 2K* player on the DC. The absolute amount of control offered in Madden 2004, with it's brand new playmaker feature brought a level of player integration into the sport of football that I had never even though possible. Not only do you call the plays as per the usual football game style, but you can control the motion of your lead blockers on offense and your entire team on defense when trying to make a play on the ball. Couple that with the expanded amount of control before the snap, and it's a football fans dream.
This isn't even mentioning the adjustments made to the defensive control in Madden 2005, coupled with the addition of league play, hit stick, and expanded online features, the face of the game has changed big time this year. Just look at how many games any of us have played that end with scored like 10-6 or 13-10.
A good series of sports games provides more and more control of the team and the sport in general to the player with each iteration. Madden(2003-2005) has been the best example of this out there.
Your comments are ignorant. EA makes the finest sports games available, but since you aren't a hardcore follower of any popular sport, you wouldn't know.
