Yeah I believe that everyone complaining should take a deep breathe and realize nothing you say can force the developer's hands in any way possible. Once you buy they are happy and could care less if you complain or not.

Simply dont but the game if you want a perfect game, which you wont ever have a one so you will be without a football game. If you buy it make the best of it and dont pay attention to the little things.

Yes we all want realism, but to sit there and constantly mash your keyboards because people who aren't within your reach are ignoring you or turning a blind eye to what your posting and wishing for is pointless there is no need for the added stress.

Either play or dont. Because im sure over half the ones who have the copy of the game and are complaining will go back and continue to play the game despite its flaws, until 2012 and then the whole cycle will repeat itself.

I agree with an earlier post from MkHarsh33, Lets NOT say 2k titles were perfect, and 2k5 at its time was realistic but when i look back at all the titles then a now I just laugh at how much I was excited to play those things compared to what i have now. People arent ever going to be happy with everything but all the ones posting these problems have a point and all who are "defending" or coming up with suggestions have a point.

The only way to get the "sunday gameplay' we want so much, is to actually go sign a contract suit up, put on a helmet and hit someone, other than that your asking too much from a video game plain and simple.

Yes EA has an exclusive license and arent, to what we say,doing the best they can, paying the 60 bucks and wishing for a miracle and then getting disappointed and bashing EA for a game we bought isnt going to help any matter.

Wow, Madden news certainly brings out all the melodramatic babies in full force. No wonder Ian never comes around anymore. I imagine it got old really quick wading through all the childish, agenda-based whining in order to get to the occasional diamond in the rough post that's actually worth a damn from a constructive criticism standpoint. For years you people have whined about "not enough post-patch support". They give it to you and you whine. "why can't they offer regular tuner adjustments like the NHL series?". They give it to you and you whine. You complain about correct 3rd jersey uniforms and stupid jersey patches. They give them to you and you whine. And you wonder why they want nothing to do with you? LOL.

Yeah, why should he come here anymore? He's too busy spending his time at whatever lame *** message boards there are out there that demand freaking tournaments in Ultimate Team.

Well after reading the OP and all nine pages (probably 12-13 by the time I am done with this post) of responses, I'm going to throw in my 2 cents.

Re: Sliders: Use them folks. I have a great set that I have gotten 3-9 wins and loses from as well as 45-3 blowout wins and loses with. It makes a HUGE difference in how the game plays.

Really, people complain that they want realism in Madden, yet don't seem to fathom that the most realistic aspect of the NFL is that winning is HARD. The game should be hard too, and if you aren't afraid to set the sliders to an appropriate setting, you will never achieve that no matter how the game plays.

I truly believe that if I ran a poll asking how many offline franchise users played every game in a season and then asked those same people how many had losing, or even horrible records at the end of their seasons, it would be one damned lopsided poll. And we all know which way it would be leaning.

Re: Uniform degradation: Really? I mean, really? Is that what you think about when the game is over? "Oh man, my uniform is too damn clean! EA sucks!!" And news flash, most teams have some form of field turf now, so dirt on uniforms is pretty irrelevant these days.

Re: Alt Uniforms: This is something I could get behind, but as a major issue and a 'Fail'? Come the F on people, most Alt Unis get worn once or twice a season. Yes it goes to overall presentation but it is hardly the end of the world lapse that users make it out to be. Especially the 50 year patches and such. It sounds much more like people are upset that EA didn't give their teams the special attention that they think they deserve, and not really much more of an issue outside of that.

Re: EA not listening/caring what consumers (we) say: That is a load. And not the way any company that makes a product that has to be purchased by the consumer in order to sustain itself, operates.

We know that they listen. We know that they read the things we write. Does that mean that they can implement every thing that we want or fix /change all the issues we complain about? No, of course not. The game would never come out if they did that. But no one can say with a straight face that they haven't tried to make Madden the best product they can make, especially in light of the fact they need to put out a product every year at a certain time, where most game companies get to take 2-3 years on a game and 95% of them STILL suck.

Re: The patch: Personally, I haven't touched game-planing or whatever it is called so I can't comment on it. That goes for the online play and Ultimate team card game thing. Clearly though, there are people that wanted these issues addressed, and *GASP* they are willing to pay for them. As for not addressing game play... what exactly is wrong with it?

I am an avid football fan as well as a avid Madden player and I am not seeing these game play problems that people are talking about. What I see are an occasional animation glitch, sometimes I see them regularly. Raise your hand if you have ever played a game for hours on end that didn't have a glitch in it's animations.

The other issue I see is a ratings problems which leads to the 160lb WRs trucking 250lb LBs, but every time I get really pissed about that, I watch a real football game and I see something similar to that in almost every game. The ratings, however, can be fixed.

I see people talking about DBs playing bad in zone or man. That also can be fixed. See my first paragraph about sliders.

Really what I see in this thread, and threads all over this forum, are people mad because they don't get to pop in Madden and get the actual NFL. I mean, yes, that would be great, it is what we all want, but it is just a video game. That isn't going to happen. (Not yet anyway) And as many people have already pointed out, it doesn't happen, and certainly hasn't happened, in any game out there, for any sport.

OK, so I will ask straight out... what is wrong with game play that sliders cannot compensate for?

[grunt]

I didn't buy Madden this year. There were writing on the wall that this game was going more offensive and I stayed away or dumbing down defense. I believed this was a game design decision. So, I am not surprise at all that EA didn't patch or improve defense because offense sell tickets or games.

I believe Playmaker can make any game better with his sliders adjustment. I am loving your NCAA 11 sliders. Just what if you are an online gamer? Which I am shouldn't the online folks be a tad bit disappointed? I like playing defense,

As someone once said this isn't a diss song, just a real song. I am more than happy playing Madden 10, NCAA 11, and APF in hopes that Madden remember their online franchise and online gamers,
