Why do Madden fans keep falling for the same tricks?

Blade206 from Games on Smash criticizes the Madden franchise.

"Every year EA gives us Madden and every year it's the same old game, except they give us one or two new moves. When are the fans of Madden going to rise up and say "I'm not going to take it anymore?"

Madden has new characters too, those who are drafted. Granted they could do that with DLC.

I believe most people that buy madden every year bought their system of choice JUST for madden. These people are hardcore football/madden fans and don't mind buying it every year since they don't spend much money on other games. I don't really know about the rest though.

5 - Its not that people are "falling for their tricks"
Everyone is well aware of the BS EA pulls with madden and everyone is indeed sick of it

The problem here lies in that exclusivity bid EA has with the NFL. If you want an "official" football game, then you have no choice but to buy EA's Madden. No other company can make official football games due to EA's contract. So it's not people falling for their crap. It's just that there is nothing else out there

6 - BIG SURPRISE???
Dude I have been saying this for years. 2k sports put out the best football games in my opinion, and when EA realised it, they made a really expensive deal with the NFL.

I think that there are two reasons why people still play Madden (1) I will admit it is a classic football franchise and people are used to it (event though it sucks compared to the 2k simulations) (2) cause its the only football game out there.

7 - If the pro-tak system actually works,
there will be a lot of Madden fans pissed off. Not being able to drop back 30 yards & run around until someone gets open will crush them. Good thing for me I used my 120gig transfer cable & got updated rosters for 2K5.
