Opinion: Did we really need a new Madden game this year

An opinion looking at if EA needed to release another Madden game this year.

Needed? NEEDED?

Nope but people gobbled it up anyways. I'm not bashing the fans, to each his own. However even I am second guessing if I want to buy the NHL game this year or not, the demo had almost nothing new from last year at all...

I am with you on NHL but once I played the demo I thought the AI was a lot better then Past years and the way the players skate is an improvement . The way the puck bounces I thought was different or new , and I was never a be a Pro mode fan but after Playing the demo I really enjoyed it . As for madden after Playing the demo I didn't think there was much of an improvement to warrant a purchase this year or any other year sence 2008 . I think they put a lot more effort in the NHL franchise to improve the game play VS madden .

I agree, but at this point you have to think about how many people would lose jobs if Madden wasn't a regular year thing. Less "manpower", less jobs. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy the game.

No but if you missed out on past Maddens this gen and you like football this game is prob a must buy, gameplay is really smooth and graphics are unbelievable as always.

No. But as long as people keep buying them they'll keep making them. Money talks, and talk is cheap. If you love it, good, buy it. If you hate it, good, DON'T buy it.
