There's Washington, and then there's Washington

Noticed this in 2005, but its not fixed, so figure i'll complain about it here...

In madden the redskins are located in washington DC (population 22,900). you get a yellow bar for market when doing contracts an i think it affects how easy it is to sell out home games and the average income is 36k.

If you relocate to Washington DC (from Washington DC) the population is 572,059, average income is 47k and the market bar turns light green giving you a slight discount on most contracts. The downside is that you can't get the special uniform pieces (70th an. helmets, detail decals, B&G sock stripes), you can't get a stadium that's as profitable (8mill per home game, insane club level and luxury seats... best custom stadium is 7mill a game), and relocating the skins makes you feel dirty :/

I don't know why EA doesn't fix it to a single DC location which is the same as the one you can relocate to, since its more accurate than whatever that 23k pop. crap they start you in is. Really odd and example 453 of bugs and errors still in a game thats had 5+ years of development (LB fujita still has over 1100 tackles too for some reason).

Yet another bug, sigh.

Hopefully they'll get these things ironed out with the next-gen installments. Seems like every year there were more and more bugs with Madden.

yeah, i know of about 40 bugs currently and thats outside the terrible AI flaws (scrambling QB + CPU AI means you can get about 20 sacks a game... FB PA pass = 400-500yard rushing games from my QB on all madden (only call that one play every down, no punting), formation tells (ie if the bronco's line up in I to the left and send the right WR in motion to the other side, their RB is coming straight off the right side of the line, even if you stick a guy right there, easy 4 yard loss).

maybe next year.
