Five reasons why madden will only get worse
Community – No one in this community cares if the game gets better. They just make sure they get better (than you) at this years game.
Success – If it ain't broke don't fix it. Millions sold every year, no matter what.
Developers – These people must be incredibly arrogant and isolated from the standards of all other gaming. My suggestion; clean house using the Chain Saw method.
Exclusivity – There is NO LEGAL competition and the NFL is getting worse in real life.
Madden himself – This man is completely out of touch and has never even played the game, guaranteed.
Maddens bonus screw ups: I am left wondering, will it ever catch up to next-gen capabilities. And it seems they have there arms wrapped around everything BS and Fluffy, while taking a leak on Gameplay and AI. There is not a single captivating game mode. Oh, and then there are “EA moments,” as I like to call them. That is when Madden tries to teach us about irony. For example: you are winning 17 to 14 with eleven seconds to go, you pick a HB dive with LJ and the announcer says something like “I sure hope he doesn't fumble it, huh huh....” and then, sure enough BOOM CRACK, FUMBLE! Run-back! You lose. Thanks for another terrible year Madden you piece of shit.

i agree about the catch-up-code that seems built in to the code base, it's some bullshit, but that seems to happen in a lot of sports games, i guess the programmers are trying to keep it exciting.
A new Madden is still slated for a 2009 release. I hear, in an attempt to spice things up, that the new game type is the Madden tour. You actually drive around in Madden's old school bus (in either a 3rd or 1st person view). The objective is, while dodging intense amounts of traffic and pedestrians, to get from city to city in time for the game. EA realizes that football won't actually be played, but figured it will trick the long time fans into thinking they are playing a different game. Absolutely genius.
