Seems like you have one of the better leagues going. 360 it is for me.

Long read, but a pretty good look back on the history of the game
ESPN - OTL: The Franchise - E-ticket (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=100805/madden)
That's not an article it's a freakin novel. The Biography of Madden. I don't think I could finish it if they made a TV documentary out of it.

Still wish Madden had some direct competition. I don't buy EA Sports party line where they say "our competition is games like Halo" especially when they can't even make better then the third best sports game in their own company (FIFA and NHL are more highly regarded from an actual game perspective, not to be confused with sales). I will say though that Madden has gotten much better, starting with last years version.

I don't understand why they havent applied phot game face feature to created players in Madden. You can say what you want but everybody secretly plays an offline Franchise with characters of their likeness.

Or Hail to the Redskins. However you know what is missing? Ryan Torain, Terrance Austin, Erik Cook, Selish Capers, Will Robinson, Vonnie Holiday, Anthony Bryant, John Beck, and many more. I really wish they would at least make all the rookies that were drafted, if for nothing more then to put them in the free agent pool. I also hate how they handle O-Line subs.
You can't set up your own personel packages before the game, yet for some reason Offensie Lineman are rotated, which in the NFL rarely happens. I remember just now coming up for a play thinking "wow, they sure made Trent Williams pale. Is he white?" only to realize I was looking at Clint Oldenburg. Also I don't know if anyone else will notice but Fred Davis is extremely skinny.

What's really a joke though is the Hail to the Redskins. They don't play the whole song and then after FIGHT FOR OLD D.C, they have the RAH RAH RAH. I mean how do you screw that up honestly?
