I think he means that its great because they are getting "valuable input" so to speak and not necessarily positive. In reading his whole post, thats how I took that phrase.

I don't see why one company would blame another company in public except only to deflect the blame.

To me, it's really a mute point either way.

At least you stopped near the end.

To provide some context on the 'great feedback' element of my note. I'm not saying that all feedback was positive. I'm simply saying that all of the feedback, positive and negative, has been great. Great in that it helps shape next year's version of the game.

I am sure he means that... Even the negative feedback is positive if leads to improvements on next years game...

Phil, I have to ask, WHY was the DLC scrapped, as we wre told by Ian over a month ago that the DLC was basically FINISHED. Why the sudden change of direction, except that you already made your money this year?

This astounds me, really, as there were MANY MANY people relying on the DLC to make their purchase of Madden this year even decently playable!! This really doesn't say much for the "new" dev teams dedication to its fans, IMO....seems like the same crap as the last 3 years....

Pretty much what I figured. This is the first year since madden came out on the Commodore 64 that I traded it in before the next release came out. Its sad the I have a 5 year old game on a tenth of the system that represents REAL FOOTBALL better than Madden 09. Honestly there is no other way of saying it but Madden has become a joke, and the reason being is no competition, next year big "feature" "CPU sliders you guys asked for them and here they are"! NBA live NHL all have turned 180degrees because of COMPETITION, but madden nope no rival so lets take the same piece of cr@p put a few useless features on it and a new cover athlete and sell millions. Sorry guys (Ian and Phil and anyone else involved with madden) But you guys meaning the game has become a laughing stock great job. You can count me as another one who wont by into the hype and do a midnight release! But I guess its all good cause your the only NFL game in town and sell millions so keep up the good work

Sounds like the bait and switch tactic used to dupe customers..

Good.

I'd rather them focus on on 2010. They never said we would get DLC anyway...remember that.
