Madden 09 Patch #2 Released, Impressions Here

[SA1NT401]

If you want to just sit and play from time to time and really are OK with the shortcomings, the madden IS fun!!



But if you are a SIM player and look for a nice representation of the NFL and its game (which it holds in SUCH HIGH REGARD BTW) then MADDEN is 100% TRASH!!!

Ian, i hope you see this.If you and your team want input from fans, i could supply a list of 103 MUST have fixes for 2010. YES, 103! I sat down with 3 friends a few nights ago. While decideing where to go we started alking madden, why? IDK. We came up with a list of fixes for.....wait for it.....GAMEPLAY. NOT presentaion or halftime shows, NOT ESPN usage, not silly crap...GAMEPLAY. ALL 103 of them are REALISTIC achievements given your development cycle and all will improve the gameplay as a whole.

At least you can move on from 09, cuz at its heart it is a failure as a representation of the NFL!!

End Rant!

has anyone heard from Phil or Ian? They have been pretty quiet since the patch#2 release. I really don't know if they are working hard on trying to fix the continuing freezing issues, or if they are hiding until the smoke clears..

An update from one of them would be nice.

CB,

The HOT SEAT is calling you!

What are some shortcomings in your opinion?

Never thought you were and idiot, i just wanted to know the perspective from which you were playing.

My shortcomings?

*Presentation
*Franchise mode (still extemely bare-bones)
*lack of "working" fatigue. Fatigue is there but it is horribly implemented
*OL/DL interaction
*Warping
*CPU Roster logic(been messed up for years)
*Suction blocking
*Simmed stats are still messed up in some cases(QB completion percentages)
*Lack of refs and chain gang
*Was penalties until the patch
*CPU end of game logic.(doesn't always rear its ugly head but does more often than not)

As for which type of fan I am. I have bought Sunday Ticket for about 4 years now(thats as long as I've owned DirecTV). I watch football pratically all day on Sundays. I do take breaks to play Madden.

Now the inevitable question that someone is going to ask is how can I enjoy the game despite having this many "issues" with it? Well, as I stated before, I can look past these issues and still find enjoyment. Some people can't and I understand and respect that. So please understand and respect that I can.

I gotta ask, why are you so interested in what he enjoys or doesnt enjoy about the game? Are you so bored now that you want to play 20 questions with people to try and get vindication for your POV on Madden? He doesnt make the game and has zero influence over it so let the man enjoy the game and move on already, its starting to sound like you are on some never ending attempt to bait him into either an argument or a pointless debate.

EDIT- Kudos to you CB for even answering because Ive seen the constant questions thrown your way since the game was released, the accusations that your some EA homer etc and I really dont know how you put up with it sometimes. At some point, do you just throw your hands up and walk away? I would have done that a long time ago so my hats off to you.

There are times its frustrating, but at the end of the day, I'm the one happy and enjoying the game. Whether people can understand or respect that is on them. All I can do is post about my opinion the same way that those who don't like the game post about their opinions.

I've seen Phil log in from time to time. I'm sure they are reading things.

Let's not forget one of Ian's last post he has a torn calf muscle and his computer from home was being fixed.

I wouldn't read too much into the smoke clearing theory.
