How good is a Madden Promise? Well apparently not very good. This game is in its 3rd year for the next gen series of Madden and really nothing drastic has changed. The few things that are left out are really no excuse for a multi million dollar franchise and company. I am all for giving them a couple chances to get it right but please, its been 3 years.

Not letting them finish games??? Spend the extra dough, you can afford it.
