And yes I know he was being nice to the EA guy but this whole "keeping us informed" is goofy to begin with. IMO, there shouldn't be a need to after 20 years of development. Again, 2K's developers did a hell of a job on their first football game. As I understand it there were some developers from the EA team that worked on it? Still, same logic applies right?

You're doing the same thing so many other people do and thats make excuses for EA. You may be what they call an enabler. You are lying to yourself if you believe that a lot of what EA does with Madden isn't done on purpose. I mean, it's their business plan. If one of the developers came in one day and said "EUREKA! I HAVE DISCOVERED THE PERFECT CODE FOR THE PERFECT GAME OF FOOTBALL!!" do you think the suits at EA would implement it? No friggin' way! LOL! They would slowly add parts of it over the coarse of a lifetime and at the same time purposefully break other parts of the game (that were fine to begin with) just so they can claim "We listen to our customers and are working hard to blah blah blah..." They do this EVERY YEAR! One year we have a realistic amount of penalties, the next year WE DON'T! One year we have pretty good presentation, the next year WE DON'T ( and don't give me the "NEXT GEN" excuse) this is so obviously done to make us sheep (and I am indeed a part of the herd) believe that they are trying their damnedest to bring us a realistic game of football when in fact, it's "all...part of the plaaaan".


No big deal. I am actually laughing so don't get all worked up. And we still have NFL HC which I like. And hopefully the Wii version is indeed a better game realitically speaking than its next gen version and i'll be content. And with EA, that is the whole goal with them. Make them content juuuuust enough to bring them back for more the next year.

Ain't that right EA?!

I am just as much a part of the problem as everyone else that buys into their hype machine so it's not like i'm bashing anyone other than EA. And it's America dammit! I am allowed to gripe about them!
Good post. I wouldn't rule out that type of "business" in this capitalistic world. Maybe other developers and especially publishers think this way.....or maybe it's just EA. Or, maybe, they're just not that good.




Backbreaker looks awesome!

My god, don't encourage this guy, it's far, far, far from a good post, and it's got about jack and zilch to do with the thread topic.

Comparing the Q&A process for a next-gen title like Madden to that used on a game that probably requires less computing power than some major household appliances is not the best way to make your point.

No thread is safe on OS right now. They all go down the same dumba** path.

I Agree, though all I really want is field degradation, cpu accuracy to drop and the safetys and corners to react better.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Phil and Ian,
Great to hear your working on a second patch.
If seemed in your post Phil that you were looking for community feedback. I know that myself and several of my friends have been buying the PS2 versions for the last few years mostly b/c we like more camera options. For us we all love to play in the overhead view (NCAA) on Madden Long (Madden). I've been waiting 4 years for this now and although I like the new action cam better than the Classic. I would probably fall in love with this game again if I could play in the view I wanted.
Regards

You sure?

You don't want a better crowd/atmosphere?

You don't want any more animations/realistic movement?

You really sure?

You don't want any differences between regular season and playoffs/Suberbowl?

You don't want halftime/postgame highlights?

You sure?!!

Just makin' sure you're sure.
