Exactly oh well Pared, let haters hate.

IT'S AN OPTION IN THE GAME!!!!!

The article fails to identify that, so it's NOT a good article. And I'm as disgusted with EA as much as anyone. But crying and complaining about this OPTIONAL feature is pointless......unless, of course, the gameplay and franchise still have craploads of issues. Then I'll humbly stand corrected and will agree that EA's efforts should have been more dedicated to those areas instead of the Rewind feature.

later....

While I'm sure not pleased about dev time being spent on this feature, but I won't let this thing ruin me looking forward to Aug 12. I can sure understand for the "Madden purest", this feature could be kind of considered embarrassing that it's just there...if it's used or not. Bringing more people into the Madden fold is cool, but I'm just not too sure a feature like this is of really any value to nearly anyone.

As we all know this thing can be shut off, so it's not the end of the world. But ya...it does kinda grind my gears that the Madden team decided this feature was of greater priority, than a feature that could have been a benefit to all...like In-game saves, as many have said. But there is one good thing about this though...at least I know the first thing I'll do with Madden '09'...shut this dopey feature off.

For those of you who say just turn it off, you have to look at the point of the article...This is the direction Madden will be going towards in the future, the casual fans.

Do we want that?...I dont think so.

So true oh well i guess madden is more casual than hardcore i mean whats the point of tending to hardcore fans when ur the only football game out there and u know that causal gamers are going buy your product no matter how garbage it is. I mean its business people like it or not. There is no purpose for hardcore fans anymore EA really dont need them anymore since they dont have to put as much effort as they did back in the days. When your the only football game out whats the point of wasting so much resource to develop a good football game whenyou know people are going to buy it like hot cakes anyway.

I can't think of a single reason to hate the "Mulligan" feature and I'm almost sure that I'll be using it to correct blown calls. There are times when a player catches a ball near the sideline and he's actually out-of-bounds, but even when you challenge the call the refs still let the play stand.

If the "Challenge System" still has those kind of quirks where obvious incomplete passes aren't over-turned, I'll just "rewind" that play for either the CPU or myself and do it over.


...Seems fair to me...

That was the main point of the article that I came away with as well. It's great that this option can be shut off and is not available online, but if it's there as speculated to be a band-aid for a carry over problem from last year then shame on EA!!!

Spend your damn time and money to ACTUALLY FIX a problem EA!!!
