Maybe those people "returned the volley" by spitting in the devs faces (so to speak) because that's what they felt was done to them, and they were just returning the volley. I really don't see how the developers could have expected anything else. Madden 10, after years of frustrating titles, didn't live up to expectations, and then Madden 11 also was a lackluster effort. That's going to upset people and the devs had to have known that. They also needed to be prepared for insults because everyone on video game forum isn't going to be an adult, so you can't expect everyone to act like an adult. The mods will take care of those posters.

So you're justifying and advocating the venom and vitriol aimed at the devs by people? People are justified in personal attacks on devs because they don't like the game?

I agree but I also think that the developers should have thick skin when it comes to criticism especially the mindless kind. I would assume that it's the MODs job to keep these threads civil but the developers shouldn't flee when things get out of hand.

I would grant that game had/has great community interaction and it worked/s. BTW, I only had 09. Did you get anything on that? I only had my PS3 for like 2 weeks. Can't remember! LOL!

This is little more than conjecture in an attempt to justify one's bitterness to the debate over Madden. There is no excuse or reason to react in a verbally violent and venomous manner.

I can't go with you on this one. There is no excuse for imbecilic behavior. No matter what you think of the game, people need to be respectful.

I'm not saying that everyone will be. There are obviously idiots in the world, and to pretend they don't exist is just foolish, but it is one thing to accept that some people will be rude, and another thing entirely to say that it's justified. If that's what you are actually saying.

Like I said before, the devs need to treat those comments with the attention that they deserve, which is absolutely none. They are just dudes on the internet and they should not be bothered by the idiotic comments, but that doesn't mean that theose idiotic comments are justifiable in any way.
