[TheGame]

I think NFL 2K games were pretty awful, I never got what perople saw in them. I didn't find the game to be more realistic then the Madden games that were out at the same time, the user interface wasn't as good, nor was play selection. The franchise mode sucked and got extremely buggy in the long run...

I forced myself to get into it for 2 years just to try and see what people saw in it, honestly now, I don't miss the series whatsoever. The only reason I'd like it now is because the 360/Ps3 era madden games have sucked so far (until this year). Competition probably owuld have made EA work harder on their product. But in the Ps2/DC era, no contest, I think madden was all around better.

As for people calling EA evil for taking the NFL licence, they're just doing what they have to do to make money. Just like M$ and Nintendo do. If it takes buying out big licences/developers and ruining them, or just shooting out a bunch of cheap games to make money... They're all gonna do it.
