This Day in Gaming, August 9th

2004 & 2005: Madden NFL 2005 and Madden NFL 2006 are released for every console imaginable by man, respectively. There is no doubt that from a technical standpoint these games are amazing - it's the kind of polish a developer can only achieve from the literal sweat of good old EA slave labor. But for what? Is the gameplay improvement really worth the amount of effort that's put into the Madden series each year? Here's TDIG's 5 easy steps to really revitalize the franchise.

1. Build teams only from mascots. Their stats are based solely upon the cool factor of their costumes.
2. Include DVD commentary by Oliver Stone.
3. Ditch Madden's play-by-play. Mic the players cursing at each other instead.
4. Put some clothes on those cheerleaders already! Oh the sin.
5. Enable the player to strike until EA pays them that sweet 10 million.
