"It’s that time of year again when people who you might not think are gamers put on their NFL jerseys, lace up their expensive Nike’s, turn their Affliction hats sideways, and drive to the local game store for the midnight release of phenomenon known as Madden. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, Madden 12 is here to suck the life out of many gamers. Time once again to mute your headset or be victimized by 14 year olds as they call you terrible names or free style rap about how much you suck because you can’t stop him from using the same Michael Vick end around play over and over again. Is this year’s Madden just another overpriced roster update, or is the game worth full price?"-RoboAwesome.com
Kotaku - Once upon a time there wasn't much of a dispute over the word "football." Over here, it meant cheerleaders, instant replay, and concussions. Over there, it meant relegation, riots, and flopping. Then came the Internet, and commenters stomping around in one another's mud puddles.
The votes are in and the people have spoken, Electronic Arts has officially won the most coveted of all awards and become the Worst Company in America for 2012. This is no small feat considering that past winners have included BP, who showed a disgusting lack of remorse for causing one of the worst environmental disasters in history, and Comcast, a perennial runner up and a company that I have a personal distaste for and am forced to work with because they are the only internet provider in my area. Is EA truly deserving of this title or this just a product of stories and conjecture tainting consumer perception?
just fanboy rage, i'm sure. ea should just be lucky to have the talents of dice and bioware under their belt.
Definately just fanboy rage. They publish and bring us gamers some of the best, more innovative and original games we can hope to play. There is no way they are even close to being the worst company in the world.
There are banks and huge companies destroying peoples lives and people claim a gaming publisher is the worst comapny in America? Raging gamers really are fun.

Say what you will about the poor quality of annualized games, but Madden is consistently scored well year after year!
John Madden looks like a loaf of bread.
I'm still on the fence about this one. It doesn't sound like a lot of the negatives from last year's installment were fixed, so I have to wonder how different the experience will be.
Every time I read about football, I am reminded of this video.
