As someone I work with said, "Hope you liked Madden 2005 because that’s all you’re getting!"

On one hand this doesn't affect me directly. I don't play most sports games. The closest I get is SSX 3, which I broke out again recently. If I were a player, my concern would be for the quality of the game. I mean, competition fosters better products, or at least that's the theory.
