The emperor is naked man...he is not wearing some fancy new clothes. There is not a single reason to not show pro tak. None if you can think of one please please inform us. Ian said Pro Tak is the most revolutionary thing that they have done with madden and is the future of video game football. Meaning that Pro Tak should be working hand in hand with everything they do. To show a video without it is a complete cop out and a embarrassment. Pro Tak is the flag ship feature meaning if it doesnt work with pro tak then it needs to be removed. I hate how you guys give Ian and Madden such a pass on everything. How long are we going to use this, "Wait to E3" "Wait for the beta build" "Wait for the demo" "Wait for the full release" "Wait for a patch." We didnt make them release that video....I didnt go out and steal a video from EA and post it. Thats the official video that they released. Why would you release a video that is missing a feature that you hyped up all last year? Makes no sense what so ever.

Until you can prove that's pro-tak is out, we all have to play the waiting game, don't we?

E3 is where Ian and Crew will have to put up or (fill in the blank). So far every Madden 10 video...oops I mean Madden 11 video looks just like last year...in every sense of the word. I hope they bring out the heavy artillery.

Thats not the point dude. Your inability to grasp what I am saying (actually I think you do but you are refusing to accept it) is insane.

Remember the days when the only thing a company had to impress a fan base was a demo? They had to put their past foot forward to impress as many people as possible.

You guys seem to be so maddens starved that even bad video becomes amazing in your eyes.When you go on a job interview do you show up in jeans and a torn T-Shirt then say to the employer, "Oh when we do the 3rd interview I will dress up." No you put your best foot forward. You guys care more about there actually being a video than the content of that video.

I simply dont understand this mentality of constantly waiting for videos. I am not 17.(dont get it twisted I am a hardcore gamer) .I dont need 50 two min videos about madden. I need 1 video that actually impress me. Why release a video that has something broken in it?

Madden is one of the few games where they can show anything and their fanbase will just shrug it off. Can you imagine if COD released a trailer that showed players running through walls? Or if Forza released a interview that showed the cars driving around with no wheels? These games would get ripped to shreds.

In real life I am my own boss. I cant even fathom putting together a package for a potential client full of glitches and inaccuracies but telling them just to wait for 3 months because this is the alpha build. There is a clip on the gameflow video where a Denver tight end is spinning around in a circle!

EDIT: Someone asked me the other day would I rather see nothing for 4 months or get nothing until the game is near complete. To answer that. I would rather get nothing. I guess I am just a quality over quantity guy.

Either the marketing staff doesn't care how the game looks to the public (unlikely), or this is what we're getting come August. I did like the run blocking blog that came up a week ago, but now that I realize that it's the same old bait-and-switch technique, I'm not so pumped. Why does EA constantly implement new features one year, and then ditch them the next for something else?

Exactly, and it comes full circle. You know why I cant show up to a place with a crappy package and ask the client to wait 3 months?

Because they will go get someone else to do the work.

Just like NFL football...madden shows up a crappy trailer we will just got buy the other NFL licensed game.......oh wait.
