Madden NFL 09 Preview

[callmetaternuts]

Nice to hear some progress. Im digging this community involvement thing. This might have been asked (and if so, just ignore me) but this patched feature, will the patch include any other fixes? will they be added later?

This is nice that we're getting interaction with the developers but do we really have to wait till 2010 to get a respectable football game? a Football game that'll be better than NFL 2k5?

Man , I've about had it with waiting and waiting for EA to stop making a bad football game....

So '09 won't be a respectable football game? And why continue to wait?

I really hope madden 09 is a decent game because I love the nfl and need something to keep me busy till the real season starts . I just hope they made franchise a little more indepth and better than 08. Also does anyone know anything about this fantasy football thing you can do for 09 haven't heard much on it thanks.

wait...lemme get this straight. There is a patch for madden and it aint even out yet??? WUT?!?!? This is getting a little bit out of hand. Why don't they just finish the game first, then release it.

whats getting out of hand? All they are adding is an accelerated clock feature thus far because the community has begged for it. This patch has nothing to do, to my knowledge as of know, with gameplay.

I think its pretty cool that they are doing this, but hey, thats just me.

I love that people judge madden 09 even though it hasn't been released.


to arsenio, these games have deadlines. some things are prioritized, and the addition of patches has made it simple for devs to focus on other parts of the game with the hope that they can essentially finish the game later. it will provide us with higher quality games.

Are people actually complaining that EA is trying to patch something into the game that fans wanted? I understand frustration, impatience, and even the disgruntled attitude towards EA over the next gen disappointments thus far, I really do. I just don't understand the resistance to them trying to give us what we want. Then again I just remembered the standard reply: "Why do you need to patch something that should have been there already EA?" Oh well...
