Maybe Ian just caught these guys on an off day, but most of them seemed like they were sleeping, and totally not interested.
I saw that to. Are they passionate about the game? Or is it "just a paycheck" to these guys?

Guess we'll see.....

Sega,
I think you hit on a very key word.. "passionate"
In that video outside of Ian and Donny, the rest of those dudes just seemed to give me bad vibes.

That Madden History wall and Conf room ball pit looks very nice and expensive though

These guys just do come off to me as "gamers", not in a gaming sense or individually. I guess I did not feel a connection with them. Hopefully they are just not camera friendly and their nerves where bad.

Ehh. Mark Turmell's (the former NFL Blitz guy) responses weren't really what I wanted to hear from a guy with the arcade background he has. EA doesn't need to worry about "bringing in more players (gamers)" or focusing on trying to sell to casual gamers, it's not where we need to see EA going with Madden. Just make the game as realistic as possible with a sim aspects & the players/money will come. That statement makes it sound like he'll just do whatever it takes to make the game look more flashy & possibly more over the top for eye popping moments than anything.

I think the cpu reacts on fast speed while the game is on slow speed imo.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video Blog is Live, Post Your Impressions Here

The thing that struck me most from this video was the constant harping on the atmosphere and extras to make Madden feel like real football. It's the sound, the announcers, the celebrations, the shoes, the uniforms, the logos, the stadium atmosphere, the fans, and all the other things.

That isn't the case. What makes NFL football NFL football is the players and the game. Announcers do their thing in reaction to the players on the field.

Years ago I attended a Vikings practice. It was 2005 and Kleinsasser was coming off knee surgery. I was there with the Madden football bus, showing off the latest Madden football. Most of the players swarmed the bus to see the latest game, but Kleinsasser remained on the field running routes and making catches. After practice I asked him if he didn't like Madden football. He said he loved it, but he had to get back to 100% so had to work extra hard.

That's what makes football. The best athletes working hard, then performing on game day.

In Madden 2010 the scores become insane, even if teams aren't gaining a lot of yards. The game on the field is unrealistic. What's worse is that if you tweak sliders so that a star running back performs like a star, then even scrub RB's perform like stars.

Unless the game on the field is better, all the extras mean nothing.

It's not the announcers, the atmosphere, the fans, the celebrations, the towels, the shoes, or any of those things that make the NFL. It's the players and their play.

I agree with a lot of what you've said here Fcabanski.

Of course the announcers, atmosphere, etc...has it's place in a great sports game. But I do agree with you...make a simply great, realistic playing NFL football game, and they will come.

In fact, thats what I'm waiting for. To hear/see that many of the things gameplay wise that have held Madden back from being great...have been truly addressed. Until then...I'm sitting it out.
