Monday's blog needs to be on fixing the pocket/pass blocking/roll and chuck issues.

Well with the new passer ratings, if a qb chucks the ball that cant chuck the ball the ball will sail and thus be picked off. I dont think we have to be too worried about that.

This is going to be amazing game even with the flaws. The developers are on the right track.

Peace

Ok gents lets all take a deep breath and exhale, its all over! We all have to understand this is a process and like all things it will take time and patience, we are in a very unique situation being in the information age.

Like I have said many times before we have an opportunity to see a game developed from beginning to end, gentlemen I promise the information we are receiving is real time just like if you were assisting with development.

What this means for us is, we can't ride the emotional roller coaster HI, LOW, HI, LOW. When we all create rosters or sliders we begin with a foundation, then you create a formula, next you test it, if its not quite rite you tweak it. We have come to far with to much optimism to crash and burn at the tweak stage. Now is time to take constructive criticism and turn it into action, give some supportive direction of hope.

What the team is building is a game for us, not a game for COLUMNIST; he played it on pro that alone tells me he is not a true fan of competition. We play football games to compete, my little nephew plays & just wants to have fun; Ian and the boys have a very difficult job.
Take the most popular football game in the world & please every person who plays it? Good luck, we are the informed minority; gamers who understand the process to achieve greatness. We have been there before we will be there again!

Playing Madden since 1990, I'm in to deep to turn back now!

People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Thanks EA crew for all your hard work, KUDOS!

In addition to the pocket being fixed they really need to do something about running back with the QB and chucking it 40 yds down the field... let's hope this gets tuned down before the game ships

holy batman - that clip with the run back and chuck !

The part of the article that talked about presentation was the best news iv heard in a while. Seeing the QB walk to the sidelines and pick up a phone to talk to the coordinators is awesome, awesome, awesome news. I mean if thats in, what else are we gonna see? Its small things like that, that made NFL 2K5 so immersive. Believe it folks, i think im excited for Madden! Cant believe im saying that but its the truth.
