The Season Behind the Season: Strategy Site Owner Perspective

EA Sports just posted the their latest Season Behind the Season Article. Go check it out:

"My name is Bert Ingley and I am the owner and operator of the web’s largest Madden strategy site, www.maddentips.com. Since the site began running in early 2002, there has been a literal explosion in the number of people who are searching for strategies and tips on the net. During this time we have grown from an initial one-man show into a staff of six who eat, sleep and breathe Madden football.

I am continually amazed at the hardcore nature of the Madden fan base. I watch the video game industry pretty closely, and with the exception of a couple of Massive Multiplayer Online RPGs (MMORPG), I don’t think there is a more rabid group of gamers than Madden players. Guys take this game VERY seriously.

Many members of our site have played some level of competitive football during their lives. Everything from Pop Warner to the NFL is well represented, and they all have one thing in common -- they are incredibly competitive! While they want to win at all costs, most have a genuine respect for the game of football. They don’t want to glitch their way to victory; they want to learn the X’s and O’s behind the game so they can play it like it’s played on Sundays."
