While you are at it can you drag the NCAA team along with you so they can start working on what happens on Saturdays?

I second that.....

It's great when a company is transparent like this; it generates excitement for the product and builds a stronger bond with its customers.

if it delivers...things could go sour fast...and we better be allowed to vent around here if it doesn't

Ian and Phil have some stones for doing this..Again I wish em all the luck in the world.

Your game would need the following to make up for the last half decade......

- Pile-on's for fumbles.
- Refs and chain gang on the field and sidelines.
- No sliding animations.
- Online franchise with detailed stat tracking and the ability to up load draft classes from NCAA.

Good luck with that.

That's just the thing... we don't want pointless "venting" here, as that often means insults, attacks & bashing. This may very well not be what you mean by "venting" (you could be talking about Coors Light), but we want to be very clear that coming to OS to "vent" your frustration by trashing a game, its developers or other users isn't kosher.

But, if you want to state what you don't like about a game, why you don't like it and what suggestions you have to improve those aspects... that's what we see as "constructive criticism". Just thought this was an important point to reiterate with the new Madden forum ground rules...


PS - In no way am I pointing a guilty finger at you, you just happened to make the post.

Oooh! I second the "piles-ons" for fumbles! I like that one. Can we get some sideline interaction amongst players? Guys Hi-Fiving, laughing and tripping out, show the kicker practicing for a potential FG situation and you guys at EA were really close in Madden 06 with the game-winning fg scenario. You know, when the screen turned black-and-white with the heartbeat/controller vibration for drama? This time, make a split-screen with both coaches looking on as the field goal is tried. Show winning and losing team reaction.

Show the sideline reporters talking on the field as well. Make that morphing like sound when a team scores (i.e. like they do on NFL on CBS!) small touches like this matter!

Of course stupid personal insults shouldn't be tolerated, Some nice examples Im thinking about are Apexisfree's Youtube Vids, and Kmart and Bezo have had some amusing yet constructive posts IMO about their frustrations with the game.

I think they're looking for that type of feedback and will ultimately help the game. I look forward to another video showdown thread between Ian and LbRulez...which hopefully will finally show us Video Game football is moving beyond NFL 2k5
