do you know better? i think not
we had guys from this website test the game and they say it is alot better so maybe you should pay more attention

We have heard more impressions from people outside of just the developers...

Maybe you were not around the forums in early April, but Ian chose 8 folks to come down and pick apart Madden. They were all from OS and gave out constructive criticism of the Madden series.

I've know of these posters for a least 2 years, some more than that,and a few less than that.

I'll take those that I know here at OS over any gaming site on the net.

Jeez, I was hoping people would comment more on the fact that Joystiq talked about these new updates to franchise and this supposed "presentation mode". I should have known better though...

I was. I just don't like seeing this criticism. It feels unfounded to me. Yes, we had people come play the game and say they liked it. The people that are talking down any criticism aren't these people.

Were these opinions discussed constructively? nope... just junk like "This is why I hate such and such site".

How about constructing a thought? Let's see... maybe from what we've heard they don't appreciate the intricacies we look for a in a football game. Gleaning from what they said, maybe the casual player will not fully acknowledge changes that we find game changing. That could be an interesting perspective to keep in mind as the game's information is released. The reviewer probably doesn't know football, and to the common player it might feel the same.

That's a valid observation. No need to hate. Maybe casual fans won't think it's different. Again - we are better here at OS. I go here for stimulating discussions on football and Madden, not silly comments like these. I'm just a bit disappointed.

That's basically what I said in my post.

I don't know if you are referring to me though...

The new updates to franchise mode have been known for a while now. The new presentation mode seems interesting, but since they didn't say anything about it I can't really comment on it...
