Hell, search for a manual for Madden 25 and you will go to a page that talks about Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Hardly NO ONE has used an Xbox 360 to play Madden since 2012! The Xbox One came out in Nov 2013, and the Xbox X series in 2020! The manuals they have are outdated by over 10 years lol and the links go nowhere!

So MAYBE you should be happy that a company like OOTP is putting out content even if it is in the form of a Wiki because at least THAT can be updated and kept updated way more than any of the manuals that are out for even OOTP! There are parts of the manuals that OOTP put out that have not been updated in 5 or more iterations of the game!

Not many games do anything like this anymore! They just assume, since their games have been around for decades, everyone knows how to play them now!
The “Because no one else does, we shouldn’t do it either” argument is a bad one.
