Madden NFL 10 Trailer

[slimm44]

Ian and Co. inherited an EXTREMELY dysfunctional product and were asked to work miracles and crap cucumbers. Not only have the imporved a multitude of things, THEY HAVE COMMUNICATED OPENLY ABOUT THOSE PROBLEMS AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO FIX THEM.

The problem is that some of you discount the work they have already done because the game doesn't appear to be "perfect" by your standards. They did not create the problem but have implemented several things, as evidenced by the weekly blogs they put out, to fix the problems they inherited.

You have to be able to see the small things that are being done to improve the big picture instead of just looking for a perfect product. I am confident that they have done several things to improve this game and I also believe they are going to be busting their tails over the next two months to make this game the best they can. I know it will not be perfect, but I know they are doing everything they can to correct the mistakes, which has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN ONE CYCLE OF SPORTS VIDEO GAMES.

Give it a rest. If you want to voice your displeasure with EA, do so in a constructive manner...little snide remarks are not the way to go.

More to the point of your post, name a game that is part of a series that doesn't use something from the previous iteration? Almost every game does. Very rarely is the next game in a series built from the ground up all over again...and never is it done in 10 months.

Back to topic

Ian and Co. didn't "inherit" anything. They were there along for the ride these past few years. Nothing against Ian, but it seems the culture at Tiburon is fine with creating mediocre products.
Ian is a great guy, honest and forthcoming, but we should still expect a great product nonetheless. We're about at mid-way through this gen of video games and EA is still trying to create a functional last-gen game...

Not looking too good at the moment...

You've pretty much spent your time up in here. Goodbye

This is simply a nice size step in the right direction just based solely off the trailer. You wont really gauge the game until the show better game play videos or the demo.
