bump an older thread for a rant:

I play NHL and Madden and NCAA a lot but I HATE EA...

this might have to do with:

1. the year I ordered NCAA Football off the EA website and they never shipped
2. the year I bought NCAA Football in Florida only to have it stop working within a week; EA refused to warantee it even though I couldn't buy a new one at home

*these were both before NCAA was available in Canada (pre 07 versions)

...but lately what's pissing me off is:

1. The stats in Madden when you sim a season...how is it that over 32 players in a 32 team league rush for over 1,000 yards every year (totally unrealistic)

2. the automatic resigning of players in NHL dynasty mode...not only does it resign your bums that you want to let go, it also keeps any decent FAs from reaching free-agency

I also wish they would start distinguishing RFA and UFA (meaning you don't lose RFA that "refuse to re-sign and conversely you don't have first chance at retaining UFAs)...it's ridiculous in Madden they have an RFA stage that comes before your "re-sign" players stage where you just have first chance to re-sign all your UFAs anyways.

That's all (I'm gonna' write)
