You know and I can fake excitement for it really well as well. I hate it when people say if you don't like it than don't buy it... Well essentially yes that would work, but I don't hate it. I am in the same boat as you, if they had competition it wouldn't be the same game every year with a new improvement or a old feature making a come back. But its in my blood to play some NFL football and its just too much fun to play with my team and get them to the Superbowl... Lol.. Cause who knows if I will see that in my lifetime again.
