      Honestly, Madden was still good when it first came out for the Playstation 2 when it was competing against Sega's franchise. It is matter of taste. However, It has started to get stale after Madden NFL 2004, which included franchise mode. There's has been a lack of "breakthrough" features since then. Maybe, competition was good...

          TRUTH^

          Why compete when you can just buy the franchise? Pussies.
