How about this: "The Chosen Few"?

I do think by sending quality guys (The Watcher, BezO, LBz), this community day was less about hype and more about feedback. Nonetheless, you can't blame anybody for taking this blog with a grain of salt.

I remember that as well.

However, what I did, was tell myself this is a new team in charge with new CD people going in. Nothing against the past CD people that went in, but sometimes a different fresh approach is needed.

That is how I separated this years CD vs the years past.

Don't get me wrong though, I did catch and communicate some issues. But I can honestly say that I didn't get nearly as many as I do when I sit down and play 09.

In no way, shape, or form do I have any inside info or knowledge but here is my opinion. Honestly at this point with all the upgrades and work that is being put into Madden this year, do you think they would not add this? They thought enought to put in towels, handwarmers, and team colored gloves...I am betting we get the team colored shoes! Again just my opinion but if you take a step back and look at this little feature compared to everything else that has been done, I think we will see it.

Hope your right!

are you guys kidding

lets go back in time and see what you have to look foward to: lets start with madden 08

This is from kombo.coms interview with Ea on madden 08


How do you ensure that gamers still connect with the Madden franchise year after year?

EA said: The NFL is our source for inspiration, and as it changes our game changes with it. We are gamers making the game so we make sure we deliver something that we will want to play. We have more ideas every year than we have time to implement, so time is our biggest challenge.

Why do you think gamers should purchase this newest Xbox 360 version of Madden when the previous 360 version was disappointing to say the least?

Last year's game laid a solid foundation but this year’s product is incredible. Madden 07 X360 is a phenomenal football game, in our opinion the best football game ever made. The graphics are incredible, the new features that we have talked about above are great innovations in gameplay and the game play experience, and the gameplay is solid. A well tuned running game is the centerpiece of the on field action in a game that is downright addictive.

You know what you got with madden 07 but sitll didnt ask the question and still dont ask about the QB RUNNING BACK A MILLION MILES AND HITTING PERFECT PASSES. To make you happy they gave you guys some pictures and like now you are all happy over towels and hand warmers but hey its not about the game play you just wanted hand towels and hand warmers in the game so what did you get..........

a piss poor game that had NO SIM written all over it but hey you guys played football and know what a real football game is

so when madden 09 is about to hit you have to start to wonder IS THE BASEBALL TEAM MAKING A FOOTBALL GAME

then madden 09 hits

more pictures to make you say wow i cant wait for the game to come out maybe this year well get hand towels and warmers
forget about game play the pictures look good enough. because anyone who has played REAL football knows 08 was NOT a real football game even though they said in many interviews and live by the code ITS IN THE GAME

so what came out

Celebrating 20 years of innovation and counting, Madden NFL 09 delivers its most complete NFL football package ever. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or picking up the game for the first time, players of all skill levels will enjoy a unique, yet challenging experience with the innovative Adaptive Difficulty Engine, which tailors the game to match your playing style. Instantly improve your game with the all-new virtual Training Center or incorporate feedback with EA Sports
BackTrack, allowing you to learn from your mistakes on the fly. With a new broadcast presentation and online leagues, plus more than 85 new features and enhancements, Madden NFL 09 is the most authentic and adaptable game in sports video game history. I caught up with Madden NFL 09 lead producer Ryan Ferwerda to talk about the game.

but what did we get

-Run into the QB when you are on defense and use this glitch to cancel
the game. (No one receives win or loss)
-Injury Disconnection glitch
but its ok because 2010 is going to be fixed
now they send you guys pictures and you say wow WE HAVE HAND TOWELS and still dont ask about the QB RUNNING BACK A MILLION MILES AND HITTING PERFECT PASSES

I just hope EA takes over take two so we can get some real guys who know football 101. Im sure you madden heads hate this post but The truth hurts. tell me one thing in this post that isnt true with the cheats and bs but you get your hand warmers so you win this time while the game play still cant fix the QB RUNNING BACK A MILLION MILES AND HITTING PERFECT PASSES
