True. When those things happen to people in-game, what their reaction is depends on if the glitch was helpful or harmful. A positive outcome elicits a meh response. Whereas a negative outcome may bring a different emotion. Either way, the reaction up to this point has mostly been apathetic because there has been no other football game to play. If you wanted to play football this gen, then this was just how it was going to be. EA now has people brainwashed as to what should or should not be in a video game of football and how it should play. Finally, now we have a choice. Competition is the mother of innovation.

EA and 2k don't have anything to worry about... The ****** fans out number the hardcore and complainers combined. ****** fans enjoy the product for what it is. Not searching on youtube for Nano blitz or bad animations. They will be fine.

Agreed. I wish the deep hardcore could get some love though for one year and see how sales compare

Who watches those videos? Ex jocks get paid to break down footage of real games. Guys who break down video game footage for e-credibility are pathetic.

I judge the game based on how much fun I have with it. I don't re-analyse every play in the replay system to catch 90% of the things I don't pay attention to in order to determine how good a game really is. If you can't notice a flaw while playing then don't worry about it.

yeah somebody who takes the time to make a video about a video game and post it on youtube either has way too much time or a real hate for the game

To rudyjuly2: i would say a ton watch those videos on youtube. of course those 'ton' I speak of are us and the hardcore prob.

Madden football gives John Madden a bad name.. hehe

Don't understand why you're talking about being a "hardcore gamer" like it's some sort of upper crust elite status.

weird blog, but whatever works!

I agree with str8artist. There are people who spend way too much time finding little flaws and posting on YouTube. Honestly, I could care less if a guy morphs through a player as long as the result isn't impacted. These are games, not life....

shortest....blog....ever

But does it really matter? Truth chasers or not how many people base a decision to buy a game off that? They may agree with them, but still buy the game. Those that don't, well it's certainly not enough to "hurt" the sales of the game.

There are two sides of the coin with the Youtube videos. In one way they are very interesting and bring out valid points for discussion. On the other hand, when you pop in Madden and you just got done watching the truth chaser dismantle a specific of the game, it really cripples the potential to enjoy it.

The funny thing for me this year is the videos from EA are doing the job. Madden looks dull and bland for this go around and it's all in the videos EA has put out.

I think that sometimes Apex or Verzuz can go overboard with their analysis of Madden in the replays. However at times they do have valid points, as do others who have made youtube vids. I think that it should not be a point of EA/2K worrying, but rather they should embrace the good sides of constructive criticism and make the games better. The vids prove that gamers do notice details.

Ok remember a few years back a guy completely ranting over madden. it wasn't Versez Or TruthChaser just some guy sick of it all lol. That made EA take notice BIG time i remember they even commented on it. Either way all i can say that in a small world a crack can develop and that can cause a lot of headaches for some....
