Hell, one of the guys at the event pulled out a copy of NFL2k5 and said "If your game doesn't measure up, I'm putting this in the 360." I'm so sick of this crap about how all eight guys there were a collection of EA Sports shills. You should know me better than that by now Houtz ... and I'm cocking my fist to punch you through the computer screen for that accusation.

I agree Dave, Ian did a good job in picking the guys he did. Some of the guys who make these claims are just trying to stir the pot. Getting people all huffy for no reason.

I mean I am not the model of EA love posts, I have had many run ins about how I think EA football is TERRIBLE. But I HATE how people act like EA is out to get people and there is this big grand scheme. The simple fact is they try their hardest to make the best game possible. But who is working on the game is huge and a simple change like the "Direction" madden will take will make a world of a difference.

People are really showing their true colors now

You know, I never realized that there were THAT many haters lurking around this site. It's freaking pathetic. You would think by now that people would of gotten over it.

IT'S OK PEOPLE!!! There's always next year. For Pete's sake, leave these guys alone!

The latest one was quoted from a different site he frequents, not from OS.

Sometimes I think you're one of the few guys that actually reads posts here on OS.

I'm 110 percent sure that with the guys they chose, they got quality feedback and input, and it's up to the guys to take that and run with it. Look at an LBz post, or one of adembroski's posts. Actually read it, and understand that the goal is the same. Get a game that is fun, authentic, and as close to the game that we all love.

It's not a hard thing to grasp. I would have absolutely died to go, but honestly, if I would have been choosing, the same 8 guys would have been there. Knowing that I can come on here, see a post by Phil or Ian and expect 100 pages of replies is cool, but knowing that there's a community of like-minded people here is way way better.

I sent Ian a PM way back at the beginning of Madden 09's life...it had sucked me in far more than any of the last 3 years. Of course, as the tread wore off the tire, I did start to become a bit more critical, and eventually, the game just lost luster for me. But it was a start, and you've got to acknowledge that. These guys are like head coaches that are expected to win in their first year, and to be honest, I think with 1 full offseason they've done more than we could have asked for.

So be critical, but be realistic as well.

Great choice of words...

Dave, remember OS has a lot of older gamers who are 30 plus, where a lot of those other sites are loaded with more little kids. Don't let them get to you.
