EA Sports Says: It's Madden Season!

[Glenn33]

EA Ultimate Teams revenue alone generated $380M last year. I think it's safe to say that had enough money to create a big budget commercial and build the game.

Just sayin...

I am not trying to pick a fight or be mean spirited - but I truly don't understand how advertising relates to a good product. I have seen plenty of great games with great advertising. And we don't even know if the gameplay is lacking. Heck - early reports all indicate a MUCH improved experience. And even if the gameplay sucks - who's to say throwing more money at the game would fix the problem. If the developers suck or the company has the wrong vision, an addition load of cash only gets them going in the wrong direction much faster. Lets just enjoy the commercial [or not if you hate Kevin Hart]. It's Madden time either way!

lol.....went way over your head apparently.

wish they put the money they spent on that add into the game. Had to cost some dough.

I seen the teaser commercial this morn where Kev rings bell then smacks dude then it cuts to the Madden 15 title screen and the unseen voice comes in or whatever then goes off. Thought it was funny but weird then I see the full commercial and it's kinda funny and weird and wtf just kept poppin in my head repeatedly yet I was laughing at some of this. Creative....weird and kinda funny all in one.

Lol I'm assuming every OS'er has a cynical side and I guarantee that side was shaking its head thinking. "They could have spent this money on the game!". Lmao mine was.

I liked it. It was just weird enough to be funny. Good choice using the lesser Franco too.

Honestly, this didn't even cross my mind until I read your post. I'm not cynical enough.

Huh. So Dave Franco can't even get the lead in a commercial.
