EA is a terrible company. They rape and pillage franchise after franchise and are basically a disease whose practices have lowered the standards of what passes for an acceptable retail game, much like rap and My Chemical Romance has ruined what is considered "music."
In the future, I imagine EA will just send you a box that has "Madden" hastily written on the side in Magic Marker, and a little midget will pop out and punch you in the nuts, then take your wallet. But of course, you won't even get to keep the midget because you will need to pay for a cheat code via Xbox Live that unlocks him somewhere in your neighborhood, and then you have to go look for him, which is going to be really hard because he's a freaking midget.
To all you retarded mongoloids who buy Madden year after year, thank you for helping destroy the game industry and supporting companies like EA. This video is for you. <3
From PSYK0MANT1S, the creator of the video:
Ok EA... I've been VERY QUIET for a long long time about the quality of your titles. I am quiet no more. Today I got off of work and there was nothing more i wanted to do but to play my new copy of John Madden 2008 Football on my xbox 360. Not even 2 games into my copy of Madden and glitches surface. Even your own in-game replay system helped me document this bullshit.
I'm sorry but I am not going to speak good of EA for the rest of my existance on this earth until I see some serious improvements in your quality standards. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I've been let down by Electronic Arts titles on PC, XBOX, XBOX360, PSX, and PS2. Let down you ask? Well let's talk about how EA needs to STOP releasing beta builds of their games. EA needs to STOP releasing a game that needs a patch the next day. EA needs to STOP letting us the consumer/gamer pay for a buggy product. EA needs to get their act together and get some REAL Quality Assurance going on.
Let me tell you something EA... My father said something to me a couple years before his death and I've never forgotten it. He said, "If you are not going to put your full ass into your work, then quit now. Spare me the trouble of finding it done half-ass so I can get on with my life."
I am posting this in hopes that I can alert the community of this injustice ONCE AGAIN committed by Electronics Arts to it's consumers. As gamers and consumers we need to stand up to our game makers and demand higher quality and assurance. My 60+ dollars today was spent only to be dissapointed...
Amen brother.

I hate madden
E. A. *whispers* destroy everything!
Oh wait, that's kind of how EA fucked up every other developer.
I pretty much steal my copies of Madden, or find them in dumpsters. Do I count? ='(
Totally agree with you. I never listen to the radio anymore. They only time is when I am in Wichita, KS because they have a good rock station, or Kansas City, they have a good rock station too. I only listen to rock, I hate all other kinds of music. To me, all rap sounds the same, and pop and country should just be considered the same genre because country is just like pop with a twang. Thank goodness rock has survived.
Anyone still have that, unpatched, for posterity?
I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck SSX On Tour.
The over blown BF2 mod? The EXP pack that was one of the worst releases ever? Because people are catching wind to how badly created and poorly supported the game is? KYS EA
Kill Your Selves.
Madden is easily accessible and appeals to a more casual gaming market; there are many people who ONLY buy Madden games. As a result, Madden has become a cash-cow for EA and the money that Madden generates goes into developing and producing many quality games that we are all looking forward to (Rock Band, anyone?).
Also, more money being fed into the video game market only improves the industry on the whole. More and more small developers will be able to secure financing as investors begin to notice that money can be made from video games. If it weren't for the "big" games like Madden, it's unlikely that a lot of "hardcore gamer" favorites would see the light of day.
This angers me so much I might even write a haiku about it.
But you totally stole my heart and fucked it senseless with the "midget in a box" analogy. It's not easy for text to make me laugh, but you have done it, sir. You're in. And when I say that "you're in," I mean that you're having sex with me right now.
I mean, really? Fuck. I don't get how people are still buying EA products.
Except The Godfather. That game was fun.
I have yet to meeta single gamer who is a fan of EA produced games, yet EA games continue to top the charts. And you can't blame the casual gamer for this fuck up.
For the record, I wouldn't have bought Madden if it weren't for my employee discount and Blockbuster and a $10 off coupon.
...please don't lynch me.
EA is dead to me too...
Disgrace piled high like cow shit
This is EA's home
Rap has strong cultural roots, dating even farther back than the 1920s. It has the potential for true art, beauty, and poetry. Try turning off MTV and listening to real rap. What the industry force feeds your ears isn't rap.
(Which im totally up for if you get the guys!!!!)
im going to have to respectfully disagree. my biggest problem with ea is their monopolization of the nfl license. know why people ONLY buy madden games? its the only f'n choice! that is why its a cash cow for ea. i dont think microsoft worries about each new edition of windows. they just throw it out there, and without any competition...the public eats it up.
ha, right......
That is all.
But Haley's latest post where he equates all rap music apparently as crap along with what I will agree to be garbage in My Chemical Romance is retarded shit. Don't be a fucking ass of hole who hates on shit because you don't have deep enough appreciation as an art form to listen to more than guitar solos and power chords. Maybe it's that I've been so consistently tricked into expecting intelligence of the utmost that makes me so fucking pissed right now, but come on, don't fucking diss an entire genre.
I don't play as Many RPGs as I do shooters or action games, but I still have an appreciation for the genre, even if I don't play it nearly as much as other gamers.
EA Sports, though, is the division that sucks wicked stank balls, and needs to be exorcized from the rest of EA. The shit their sports division gets away with should be considered a federal crime.
Millions of dollars are thrown at these men, and their fans care more about having the games in their hands than having a worth while product. More money goes to Ozzy Osborne doing promotion towards Madden than polishing the game. The reason is marketing a hyped game is easier than making a good one, especially if you have blind loyalty and the ability to just patch it later.
So no, EA isn't evil, EA isn't terrible. EA just gives the population what it wants. That is all.
out of all the games ive played EA are the worst, they don`t even say sorry, we made a mistake.
It takes them ages to patch a game, and when it does come, it took so long that no-one playing it any more to get a decent game, or every1 has found out all the glitches and just cheating there asses off.
It's not that they don't have a good QA team, it's that they release products knowingly that there's still lots of bugs to fix. Their QA probably found all the glitches people have found on Madden, but EA couldn't miss the street date so they still shipped the game to make lots of $$$! EA sucks.
hahahaha
he's the worst !!! HAHAHAHAHA!!
football games are gay anyways!
I miss the days of 2K5 as much as all of you. Didn't EA only buy the license for a certain amount of years?
