So yeah, the Madden 12 article is up on IGN (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/116/1164606p1.html) and here's my bone to pick: Seems to me like EA has spent the last five years or so trying to replicate all the minutiae of American football, without any luck improving the actual gameplay mechanics. Anyone else who regularly picks up the new Madden each year skipping 2011?

I haven't picked up a madden title in over 10 years. Mainly because it's they're charging 60 bucks for what is essentially DLC.

Yes. Because Madden '01 is so fucking similar to Madden '12.

Oh, wait. It's not.

I won't ever buy a sports game unless Mario is featured in it. The last Madden I got was 05 and I'll never get one again.

I own Madden 2004. That's all I need from football, both digitally and in real life. ^_^

Maybe with the additions of certain features but besides that all i'm seeing out of the releases is just roster upgrades.

They games go through a...decent...overhaul every 3-4 years. The mechanics added/removed over the course of a few years basically make a sequel. Other games franchise basically goes through minor tweaks each iteration, but you don't hear the sports' game haters bitching about that. Because if you're a fan, it's a worth investment of your times, as you'll get dozens of hours out of it.
