It really pisses me off that they put those "fake" fumbles in there, that would be reversed in any real life game. And I know you can challenge them, but they really really suck when they happen in the last 2 minutes of the half and the challenge button is greyed out. I have lost 2 games to the CPU due to this stupid crap. The first one, I was down by one point with a little under a minute left on about the 15 yard line. Well what do you know, a fumble happens after my guy is clearly down, they pick it up and run it back for a TD. WTF! The challenge button is greyed out and the game didn't automatically review it like it is supposed to. So I was kind of pissed off at the game, even though its just a game and all. So the very next game, Same thing is going on except I am winning by a FG. I throw a pass, and it's intercepted. I tackle the guy, he is down, and he fumbles, and they pick it up and run it in for a TD. I get a kick-off with under 30 seconds left and down by 4 points and lose the game.. So needless to say at that point I pretty much cursed the entire EA team.
Today, I was just so frustrated with the game, I was going to trade it in to GameStop and get Two Worlds instead. So I go up there, and they offer me $20 for the trade-in. They have to be kidding right, I see the used copy right there on the wall for $49.99. So I said nevermind, then went to Best Buy and got a copy of Two Worlds anyway, I didn't want to give GameStop the business at that point. But later I played another game of Madden and kicked some CPU ass and so I am kind of glad I didn't trade it in after all.
But aside from all that, while I was browsing the games in GameStop, there are just so many games I want to pick up that I am going to go insane. And with every week something new comes out that I want to buy and there is no way I have the time or money to buy and play all these games. I really would like to pick up Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata when that comes out, as I love my JRPGs. I am definately picking up NHL 08 next week sometime, I can't wait to play that. Lets get some action goin with all you hockey fans, I've seen a few blogs with NHL logos on them and some with NHL 07 in the now playing list. I really needed to hit that $300 million lotto that was going around..
