Yeah it is. Go to the various 2k sports forums and you will see requests and comments that are completely ignored by developers.

Its not that guys like Ian Cummings are sitting here chatting on a forum with us, because you're right, that has been done (although not to this degree). It's that they are, in some cases, IMMEDIATELY tweaking something after we complain about it.

Take Big Ben is skinny thing. Within this very thread one of the graphic guys has already said that he will take another look at Ben and possibly bulk him up. This is within ONE DAY of the screen shot being released and people complaining about it.


WHERE has that been done before? Please post a link.



EDIT- I brought up 2k because I can't fatham why someone would so angry and bitter over a NICE screen shot unless s/he was somehow angry that EA still has the lisence, and perhaps that anger is only being increased because EA is attempting to make a quality game. It takes away the villain, and time has shown that that alone is enough to make people angry, because then they feel powerless...

Erm, just look at Sports Interactive. It's even deeper than Ian's (thanks MarcV for header files ). you probably wont check them out, but it's abusive the way they interact with their users. Especially in the General forums.

I think this "old school" debate is rather childish.

I have like most been playing madden since wayyy back in the day. Just because people are excited about the things in the screen shot does not mean they are saying the gameplay is perfect. They are excited with the "little things". I mean every single sports game that comes out has a forum topic labeled "The little things"

Look how far we have come.

Abusive? I don't think I want to interact with them!

I'm not comparing, just saying that it is nothing new.

We are all grateful for having a say on things.

Just do not confuse things. We are here to help him do a better job, create a better product. Not be a ***-kisser.

LOL. I'm sure they only beat'em because they love'em.

I "probably won't check them out?" Excatly what in all of my responses has convinced you that I am the type of person who is unwilling to change my opinion based upon new evidence?

I am currently looking at the forum, but just in case you are right that Sports Interactive has even more than the lead designers interacting and changing the game based upon requests of gamers, I'll just rephrase my statement:

It hasn't been done with "mainstream" football titles like Madden, 2K, NFL fever, etc. Large budjet games, etc.

There, satisfied? Now if you provide evidence that that is incorrect, I will adjust my opinion, like I do in all things.

Yeah, poor choice of words.

The level of user interaction in that place is huge.
