We tried last year too...we made it to Week 4. It was a huge failure.
My Tulsa team was undefeated and beat Oklahoma and Oklahoma State by scoring 80 points a game.
I wanted to win the title but no one ever played their damned games.
As it is...last years crap pile of a game and EA's terrible responses to all of the issues has made me boycot the game. If they get rid of Ben I'll reconsider. As for this year...not a chance...Madden has a physics system now. This is the first year in many that I will actually go with Madden if I get a football game.
I saw on Operation Sports that they're making a 2013 roster for the 2011 game.
Knowing those guys, it's going to be a pretty good set.
Not sure how they'll set up the new conferences, but if it's possible, they'll do it.
That's the route I'm going.
Then if Madden gets "super" reviews, I'll pick it up for the first time in a very long time.
BTW- I found a new copy of 11 on ebay for 3 bucks.
