Just as boring as its been for the last 5 years.

I've been playing sports games for 20 years now. I've been praying for a realistic football game year after year. If you've ever played the board game Strat-o-Matic you know what I'm talking about. If someone could incorporate the Strato into a video game they would be in my books a genius. One that makes you say this game is so much fun and so close to a real game of football. With all the supposedly technology we have today. Why can't someone figure out how to create a football game that you can play 4, 15 minute quarters and get a realistic stat line, realistic total plays per game and a realistic amount, and type of penalties called. I've had the penalties turned up all the way and I'm on week 8 and theres been zero holding calls. I rented this game and for the 1st year in a long time I don't think I'm gonna shell out the moola for this one. It seem that year after year, after a few games, I'm bored with it, and it feels like more of a job, than fun, to complete a season. I'd love to see a game with no AI to set. 15 minute quarters. A real game of NFL football right out of the box.
The paragraph above was my honest opinion, but maybe a bit premature. I did end up buying Madden 07 and it did become quite addicting. The Biggest key with Madden to be enjoyable for myself was to get all the settings right. I managed to do that, and have had quite an enjoyable season. I am looking forward to drafting players from NCAA 2007. Don't get me wrong this game needs major refinements, and big time improvements, but it does feel the void for football at this time. Which doesn't bode all that well. I just hope next year that EA will take a bigger leap that it has in the 1st two seasons.......We're paying good money for this title, so how about giving us a good game in return, instead of the nickle dime game, will add a little this year and even less next. So in 5 years will have a game that we should of had in 2..............Please Cut the Crap.............
