EA Boss Not Happy With Madden Sales....

[Ankido]

Knock it off guys seriously. I'm sick and tired hearing about this. This is not about madden football who cares how the game plays. Did you guys see all the EA logos and madden 10 banners all over ESPN and NFL Network? Dude it's freakin awesome.

~sarcasm~

I'm going to say it....yes I am....here I go......oh oh.....BRING ON 2K.

I dont think the economy is a big player in game sales.. IMO its more along the lines of less good quality titles released. I havent bought a console game in over a year because I was tired of 8 hour games or seeing so many crap titles released.

Madden sales are declining because of it being stagnate for so long.. There has been no improvement in gameplay.. EA can talk the talk ( hype ) but its clear they cant walk the walk ( actual reality of the game ).

^ damn, you've missed out on quite a few really good games man!

I dont think so.. I am always on the lookout for games that I would consider worth a purchase. If the game doesnt have alot of playtime or serious replay value then its a rent only. I dont spend 60$ for something I can complete on a single weekend and be bored with shortly after ( I dont play consoles online.. I have the superior PC for that ).

I am going to buy Dragon Age because I know its going to offer tons of playtime and plenty of value for the money spent.

Listen here is the truth:

I like this year's Madden better than the last few years.

Now with that said, there is so much missing to make the game exciting anymore. If EA would spend less time working on gimmicks and more on making EACH individual game feel different from week to week (Atmosphere) then maybe more would buy their game.

Over the years Madden and NCAA have become STALE. It always feels like the same game from the year before. I skipped NCAA Football 09 last year and to be completely honest, it still feels like the same game that I have been playing for the past 7 years. I know without a doubt that this will be the last time I purchase an NCAA Football game by EA as the game needs to be rebuilt from scratch, new commentary, new atmosphere, new animations, ect for me to even consider purchasing it again.

EA does not make much progress from year to year in their games like others do. Yes insert 2k to piss the fanboys off but it is true. Look at what innovations NBA 2k10 is looking to do this year and what they did with NFL 2k5 just for comparison's sake.

If EA spent less time milking their franchise series to death like Madden and even more so with NCAA Football, then sales would not plummet like they have over the years. GAMERS ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE SAME GAME WITH ANOTHER STUPID GIMMICK ADDED AND A GREAT FEATURE BEING REMOVED.

IF you want to see EA go down further, watch what happens when they continue to charge gamers for stuff that should already be included in the $60 price tag. That is turning me off even further. EA is starting to create a massive disconnect with the mass market and it could prove to be very costly to them in the long run!

This is what happens when you have ppl working on the game who know absolutley NOTHING about football. If you see it on sunday,you'll see it in Madden, right Ian??? Gimme a break. Your running animations look like garbage,blocking sucks,AI is ********,too many easy catches being dropped,too many glitches,too much lag online,fumble mini game is garbage and Pro Tak has way too much hugging going on. I hope the NFL is smart enough to realise that the license shouldnt be exclusive anymore so that 2k can make an NFL game, then EA will really get off their arse to put out a good game cuz they wont have a choice.
