Even though technically it's gaming I'm gunna post my Madden rant in here and see if I have any sympathizers.While we are bashing EA Sports how annoying is Madden? I love it but it has so, so many flaws. I tried to play a online franchise game tonight. We gave up after we got booted at the same point 8 times. We can kick off then boom the game drops out. Went to play a randomer and it got through the game no problems.
Then theres the offline franchise mode. Where you can play all-pro, the 2nd highest difficulty mode, where essentially the opposition are retards and you can just walk through them. Then you pop it up to All-Madden level and the roles are reversed. Your offensive line can't hold a block for longer than half a second and god help if you try to run to the outside! Any ball you throw that is even half a chance of an interception will be swallowed up even by defensive linemen. In contrast your DB's can't catch a cold and you quite simply can't put a runner down on the 1st hit. I just had a low 70 rater RB run over the top of me, literally, for 200 yards with 13 missed tackles on him. I get that it's meant to be hard but it's bloody stupid. The difference between the two levels is awful and the main reason I hadn't bothered to do an offline franchise until now, I'll be sticking to online ones from here on out.
