That doesn’t mean there haven’t been better installments since then – of course, that isn’t really true – but it means I’ve sort of lost interest in the franchise over the years. In truth, I used to play more sports games until the industry really began to kick it into high gear and deliver unbelievable film-like experiences. And even though I normally don’t buy any sports games, after playing the demo for Madden NFL 11, I might just have to consider a purchase…if only because it’s the first time I’ve really had fun with this series in years. Granted, it’s only a demo, but there are a few significant changes I really appreciate, and I found the gameplay to be both physically accurate and accessible. This time, we’re not slogging through a horde of plays; we can set the playbook ahead of time, attach each play to a certain situation, and have it called in from the sidelines during the game".

Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis is the latest victim of this curse.
