Not biting your head off sir LOL. It's just funny that anything EA does for marketing is looked at as a "hype train" and not marketing. I hate analogies b/c they're overused on this forum, but Toyota is showing commercials for their new Avalon despite the bad pub this year. Hype train too? No, it's an effective way of marketing to get individuals like myself into what they're selling.
My response was just basically how I felt someone who didn't enjoy the previous Madden games would feel. Your right, EA has every right to market and sell their game. It's just when consumers begin to feel the features are overblown they start to get defensive.

To your analogy, if Toyota hypes/markets the car and promises everything is great and then consumers find a problem with the accelerators in this years model, people would start to say Toyota is all hype and just that they sell people garbage. That's a natural reaction.

I'm not saying there are no improvements or the blogs are all hype, I actually originally posted that this one looked good. My response was just meant to say people who have come to feel EA imbelishes on how good the improvements are would have no reason to trust this blog any more than the Toyota commercials you are talking about.

The hype doesn't seem near as high as last year, which is good, and they are releasing blogs of finished, or nigh finished things, instead of in progress, which is good as well. Wish there was someone on the site to answer questions, but glad expectations aren't all out of whack this go around like last year.

I said that in another thread.

Good observations.

I don't think you would want someone on the site to answer questions. Look what happened last year.

If anything, I would support a $10.00 payment for the supporter forum to enhance our experience with the progress of Madden 11.(said tongue-in-cheek)

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog: Run Blocking Improvements

This is definitely the best video I have seen come out before the release of a Madden game to date.

It's crazy to see something everyone has wanted actually in the game for so long, rather than told it will be in there and having to wait for demo/release. And I am not blind, there was some suction going on, but it's still A LOT better than least year.

Def got me back to "high interest".

I would agree with you that the hype around here doesn't seem that high imho which is always a good thing. To much hype equals to much drama.
