EA CEO Speaks of an Innovative and New Take on Madden?

[e0820]

Wouldnt this seem to go along with EA's trainer game. So Madden with the ability to be the trainer? March/April seems kinda quick.

I agree as well Rgiles.

Some of us were wondering when the marketing [info] would start for M11...well, now we know.

Like you said Russ...EA bigwigs using words like "innovative" are as basic of catch words as they come. I'm just a nobody behind a cpu screen. But I'd bet a nickel, Madden 11/12 will be no more innovative than EA's marketing tactics.

I agree with some previous posters that said this is a EA marketing ploy. I have to hand it to EA, they are great at marketing.

EA says: BAAA, BAAA, come on sheeple follow us to the hype train......

Its not hard to do when they are the ONLY nfl licensed game coming out. On a positive note, they seem to be on the right track w/ what they did in M10.

True.

People need to realize though, that this "innovative, new take" isn't going to be a new game by any stretch of the imagination. EA doesn't even have an entire year to make Madden 11.

Look at pro-tak, it took them a while to make this and it still isn't that great. To me, the words "new and innovative" coming from EA means, more bugs and glitches to patch post release. Don't drink the kool-aid is all I'm saying......

Easier said, then done. Every year we end up drinking the kool-aid b/c thats the only thing to drink.
I can say that I'm actually enjoying the franchise mode more than I can ever remember. So they are doing something worth drinking.

If it's not gameplay related then I could bet it would be more of an online be pro mode maybe with more advanced features than NHL or FIFA. Innovative can really mean anything in EA's world. Just like pro-tak..nice addition but nothing ground breaking.

Since this is the speculation thread. I'm putting my two cents in for:

3-D

It's the hot new (old) thing.
