i suppose its how you define gameplay, cuz i define it as play on the field, and the closeness to reality of an NFL game. yeah Madden has better stats, franchise, and things that i understand many people love. but on the field i been seeing the same dumpy unrealistic player models, only-adequate physics, and too few, short, robotic animations for 5 years now.

here's some high-tech that really adds to gameplay that Madden doesn't feel is worth the effort. the near perfect, realtime tackle system of ESPN, or FEVER's (R.I.P.) Read n' Lead totally open passing system. not only are these things cool, they WORK and add alot to the actual gamePLAY. on the field. hitstick and playmaker just don't cut it compared to design and technology like that.

cribs, berman, owner mode, madden cards, even drafts and contract negotiations, while cool, is still extra, and i don't consider it true GAME DEVELOPMENT.
