No I disagree completely. with that idea, it will never be the right time for presentation as gameplay will never be perfect. Again on that same note, if the people who are doing all the gameplay coding are the same people designing the prsentation, then there are going to be problems anyway. I would assume there are people working on presentation, and different people working on fixing glitches and gameplay so it shouldnt really matter.

And herein lies the rub. A development team is broken into "splinter" teams, and each department has its own responsibilities...so you won't have an art guy doing gameplay glitch fixes (at least not normally)...so I believe that, while franchise (offline) is my biggest priority (outside of gameplay, of course), online franchise/online game modes should be important to the devs as well, as it represents a sizeable chunk of those buying the game.

Also, for those who are "glad" that progression from getting 300 TDs with a QB will bring his overall up...I am saddened...because that is definitely not sim. Decidedly not. Players don't progress because they do well...they do well because they progress.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

YES!

They used one of my (metaljeff) questions

[BayAreaRYder226]

You could edit prices of food, jerseys, ect. in Owner Mode in 09 on NG?

Could be a new feature? well....a bring-back feature. unless they talking about PS2.


Can I get right into adjusting expences of food, jerseys, ect., in Franchise Mode?
In Madden 09, u had to wait til the end of the season to adjust the stuff. (Submitted by Crazy_Kid314)

"That question is referring to our owner mode options. Right now those are reserved for the post-season. It sounds like he's wanting to do a lot of his options pre-season. We're not going that way this year, but you still can adjust all those different things in your franchise mode, as part of owner mode. We have some big things in store from a presentation perspective, that will be announced [soon]."

I don't know about the whole obsession with food prices thing.........

Surely there are better ways to spen ones life than putting imaginary prices on imaginary food that no one actually consumes

It sems that some kind of 'restaurant manager' pc game would be more fun for imaginary food sellers

I woul drather see something like 'cheerleader shower cam' or something like that

[7stringking]

Cool

Didn't even notice my question was the one used at the top of this OS thread

[MattIntellect]

That interview game me some hope for presentation.
