i see your point, but we are in april and the game doesn't drop until august. we should be happy that the madden team has decided to consult us to make sure that the complaints will be minimal this year since its impossible to make a perfect game. maybe ian will surprise us this year

Ea should of brought in 2k fans, backbreaker fans and guys who are not sure if they want to spend their money on the game not fan boys who think they put out a good game every year. the madden guys will always buy the game.

That should tell you something considering he used to love Madden but even a very good tournament player like himself has lost faith. Coach Ruckus wants the game to be fixed and he is tired of all the sugar coating that is going on with it. I am surprised he posted something because he usually doesn't. He usually just stays on the outside watching. Good stuff Coach!

First, I know who coach ruckus is. But honestly, even in his state of "fame" he shouldn't come on these boards talking reckless.

To the "coach", I never said that Madden 09 was better than any 2K game. Go back and read my post, I never mentioned 2K in fact.

Second, I understand the points that you were making. The reason why I posted was because of the tone used to approach your concerns. You were attacking these guys' football knowledge, their understanding of x's and o's. I don't think that's a diplomatic way of approaching things. That's my beef.

Don't misconstrue anything that I said as me saying that Madden 09 was better than this or better than that. My point was that, Kane699 said that it was a fun game to play, and honestly it was. That's my opinion. But as you probably already understand (or maybe I should still point it out to you), fun does not mean that the game did not have it's fair share of problems.

lol the only thing backbreaker has going for it are the tackling animations and even those look suspect to be even remotely sim. backbreakers looks like nfl blitz lite

You don't even know anything about the people that came, how can you make this assumption? None of the people that went are "Madden guys". Spend some time here and you'd see that.

See that's what I'm talking about right there.
Have you seen any of LBzRule's earlier posts (pre Madden 10)? What about BeZo or Joborule? These guys are far from your ordinary "Madden guys". These guys know their stuff, and they've been known to be very vocal about their dislikes about the Madden series. And you should probably go read Ian's blog today, where he talked about The Watcher bringing in a copy of 2K5 into the EA studios.

Hey just cuz they don't make "dear Madden" videos, doesn't mean they're Maddenites.
