The way i'm seeing this is things aren't really dead.. perhaps o/l gameplay
has slid off a lil', for whatever reasons, be it bad patches, personal lives,
whatever, but I wouldn't say that the VSN is dead.. Personally, i'm not in
the wealthy/rich category to be able to work short days and come home and
run Madden all aft/evening long.. and even if I were I still doubt I would, but
only because there's a lot to life, wayyyy more than a PS3 & Madden.. But
again, for me, it's always been like that/this.. I play when I can, and for once
am happy to say that i'll more than likely be rollin' deeeep into this year &
more than likely next year.. I may not be on ALL the time, but when I am on
it would be nice to (as Mobb put it) be able to run vs. more than just the
usual.. if not, hey there's always off-line mode to keep the skills sharp so
when EA (or for that matter whoever) get's this shyt right it'll still be cool
to run games online.. I think it just needs to be recognized that we all have
lives outside of Madden, and for some it's a privelage to play when time
allows, and to have a good group of fellas to run against is a definite plus..
So, wether it's been at MM, OS, or VSN, we're all still basically around, but I
see a LOT more mf'ers takin' care of their biz, which IMO is the way it should
be.. hell, we'll always be here, one way or another.. *smile*
