That's right 13 pages.
2 pages of warranty info. 6 pages of button instructions. 1 page on the interface. 4 pages on everything else.
That's a break down of EA's instruction manual for Madden 2007. It could be worse I suppose. EA doesn't even bother with instruction manuals for the Sims.
I really think EA owns Prima or Brady Guides or something. Because instead of making their own manuals, they just push the guides on people. If you want to know how to change obscure settings or find out the how to do something, you're pretty much on your own unless you shell out the extra $20 they want for a guidebook.
Drives me up a wall. I'm not asking for a massive instruction manual, but you should have more than a paragraph for each game mode, particularly when so many things have changed from the previous editions.
So, here it is: Fuck you EA. I hope you die in a fire. If you need help figuring out how to do that, I'm willing to draw you a picture.
