I agree with what you are saying, but that's the same with every sports game I own on NG. EA isn't the lone ranger.

IMO....

Yes, but this is EA, they are the supposed powerhouse....they have all this money, supposed to have the technology, resources, knowledge, employees, etc. to bring us the best game that we have ever seen. We don't have any other options to play an NFL game. They are it and we need them to step up and show us that they actually can make an elite NFL sim.

Again, I agree, but the EA is a Fortune 500 company with money coming out of their pockets is ideal imagery.

In this economy, EA has suffered just like any other company. Earlier in the year, Tibouran laid off several hundred ( I think) employees in Orlando, just like other companies have had cutbacks this year.

Just because they are the only game in town doesn't mean they are immune to the economy.

Yeah, I know, I remember hearing of the layoffs. They have lost a lot of money, but still, IMO, doesn't make a dent with EA with the money that they already have.

They need to stop making excuses and have everyone step up that is there. It doesn't get bigger than EA in the video game world. They should and need to be on top of their game for the consumer especially, but I am sure they would do what they can for themselves first...IMO

The bolded part, I find very hard to believe, especially when it comes to this community. As for the casual gamer, no they may not notice whats been fixed via a patch, but they certainly know that a patch was implemented because well, they are prompted to download it. Which may cause some of them to turn to the internet in search for what exactly this new patch did for their game.

And what is the magical number for "too many noticable things"? Look around the Show forums, the MLB 2k forums, the NBA 2k forums, and you'll notice people looking for fixes for "many things" to enhance their gaming experience. And as is the case with the Madden forum, some will seek these fixes because they feel the game is broken and others will seek the fixes to make the game more complete for them.

Yeah, I hear you, but I need to ask a question.

Where did this perception come from that EA is multi-billionaire company?

I see this from some people that have an axe to grind, but EA paid handsomely for the NFL license and have been losing $ on Madden on NG.

Where is Tibouran/Madden making all this money? Maybe it's from the other games, but certainly not Madden.

Pretty exciting news. I'm loving our OF, and think the experience will be positively blissful by the time the full set of fixes is out.

Major kudos for the work on this game!

I didn't say they are a multi-billion dollar company. However, they do have millions in profits and hundreds of millions in revenue.

Ea may have been better off not paying for the NFL license and not having to lose more money...IMO.

Tiburon/Madden will probably see and make more money than most of us will ever know or see.
