I don't care if you're 17 and in high school. If you've got a girlfriend, you need in game saves. That better be in Madden 11.

As a game programmer and developer myself, I know precisely where this misinformation originates, It's part assumption,part bad research, and a lot of personal experience from certain game developers, who play "online" and have an assumption that everyone else does as standard.

Most surveys are even quite meaningless in this respect, as folks like to "stretch the truth" at best...e.g. - Surveyer "Are you an online game player"...Surveyee.."Sure, all the time"...reality..I tried it a few times...

I'd say 95% offline of all games of Madden 10 ever played, is probably on the safe side or reality. It's probably quite a lot higher

yeah as a whole, electronic arts does make a lot of money. they have a $6 billion market cap and last quarter revenue was $644 to get a general idea.

Maybe so, but if I'm an investor at this time, I'd be really nervous or I would have sold off my shares for a loss.

A 52 week high of 48.00 per share vs 18.95 per share currently.

It’s more for aesthetics. I love broadcast mode, especially in APF. Why? Well, not to start bringing up APF2K8 but when you line up two teams together and let the CPU duke it out, it looks like a real broadcast (example below). For those of you with APF, try it. I always end up seeing something new when I do that. It’s really cool that EA is applying this to Madden 10.

I wish the developers would use this for a “Spectator Mode” to make it more useful and interactive among the community. People can then watch other league games in broadcast mode while waiting. I thought Madden 09/APF would apply this but I guess it’s a real difficult thing to do. By the way, if anyone has ever been to an NFL game...the Jumbotron always broadcasts in a side-way view, not behind the quarterback....ahem....

Ahem. Mr. Cummings. Spectator Mode…is it possible for future games?

Yeah, I respect you as an investor, especially at this time, but EA has the gamers and the one of the most popular things out there for video games: Sports. Even tho this is a struggling time right now in the economy, EA is built for it, and video games sales are the one thing that has become even stronger during this recession.

Good, I definately hope your point is taken. I am extremely hopefull that future Maddens will be geared towards offline gamers.

I am glad my assumptions are wrong.

I hope you didn't take my post as being authoritative as I was accused of. It certainly wasn't my objective. sI went off my assumption which as you said are incorrect.

Thanks for the insight!

Are you sure about that?

Video game sales have declined for the 5th straight month. They are not growing stronger during the recession.
