So with that said, im looking forward to madden this year. Ian is catering to a more sim style game, and that's what's needed. That's why I said study 2K5.. it was a sim and not a arcade style game like madden. So since Ian is doing that, im not complaining. Just that when things like jets flying over, refs on the field and chaingangs, its nothing to be impressed over as a 2K fan. We have that already, so it has to be something new to impress us. PRO-TAK is one that got my attention, 2K never had that. So ups to Ian and his crew.

i think i understand ya


when 2k4 came out with their *new* play-call screen...you know the one that looked like madden for several years

Give a break for dramatic affect as the crowd goes wild. The sound is really important on this. The juets need tobe loud an the crowd right after needs ot be going crazy.

I AGREE! i hope they have the players running out of the tunnels this year with the smoke and fire/flames and not the same old intrance that they used in Madden 08. =p

Haven't heard anything about the City of Chicago preventing EA from doing this. Doesn't make sense, every stadium is properly named in the game except "Soldier Field." B.S.

Sorry man...It is indeed for real.

Hey Titan,

The reason why i said that, everytime we as 2k5 fans say something thats already in 2k5, we get trashed for it. I'm happy thats its in madden, but dont think that we as 2k fans should be impressed or shocked. We had that stuff 5 years ago. I'm a football fan first, and just want the most realistic "sim of football" a video game can give. Madden hasnt done that, 2k5 did that, and thats why i said Ian should study it, because its a "sim" Once madden stop catering to the arcade style gameplay and fluff, and get back to sim style and the right representation of football, we as 2k fans will have nothing to say.

adfletch71 - Like I said on page 10 before u and others got into it - LET 2K5 GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! It's pathetic to keep bringing it up especially when EA is making huge leaps and bounds for this Madden. If u wanna keep beating that beyond dead carcass of a horse, goto the 2K boards where people just cannot stop bashing anything EA, ok buddy? Keep that **** over there with the other whiny, negative folks.

Don't worry if 2K5 had it before, be happy that a Madden team has finally realized what made that game so good and are taking the steps to include what 2K5 had. I personally think 2K5 was the highest point that a sports game had ever gotten to and i want Madden to get there. I think with Ian leading the helm, Madden can get there. I dont care if Madden does nothing but copy NFL 2K5, i dont care if 2K5 had it before, im glad to have it now.

Just compare what Ian has done on Madden to what is going on with the NCAA team. Season Showdown? Are you serious? We aren't seeing anything like that in Madden. Ian is aiming Madden towards a more sim oriented crowd, its why we are seeing small details like hand towels and hand warmers included. Those things the casual fan wouldn't notice but the hardcore ppl have been calling for. Details and presentation are some of the things that helped make 2K5 amazing, Ian and Co. are capturing that.

From what iv seen so far, there is a high chance that ill be retiring my copy of NFL 2K5 this season.

Like i said in my post PROJECT, thats all i want. A sim game and not for the cheesers. Which i sense will be hating life if Ian comes through. If madden doesnt surpass 2k5, then what do u compare it too...NCAA..give me a break. Since madden is the only NFL game in town, we have nothing to compare it too but 2k5. So thats the standard..like it or not. I think Ian and his team will come through, i'm praying anyway..lol
