Re: End of Console Generations is Not an Excuse for No Innovation

I think in the last 3 years or more the Xbox 360 controller has become the 'default gamepad', thanks in part to the consolitis of PC titles and number of ports most likely.

This must be a joke.

I have my PC Rig hooked up to my 50" LED in the living room, with xbox360 controllers. Please don't compare a console, now or any future console, to a PC. A PC will smoke, and will always smoke, any console.

If you want to bring in the cost argument, then that's different. Because that's really the only argument that could be made in favour of a console (ie, the lower cost). Other than that, the PC crushes the console in every way imaginable.

I don't even own a pc and I agree with this. The only thing for me is some of the games and series I really like are on console only. Other than that I totally agree.

Im still paying with the dying madden 08 PC population on my HDTV with an Xbox 360 controller and its still better than madden 12 on the 360.

NCAA and Madden usually mirror each other with game play, but we'll see.

All I'm saying is that I'm cautiously optimistic for 13. If folks want to keep going back over history, that's fine, but I'm trying to look forward. And I understand folks that keep looking back.
LOL!!!!! There is always .... someone .... who comes out of the woodwork with the "but, the next one's going to be better". I'm not sure if these folks are just fanboys, or just gullible. As for me, and the droves upone droves of folks here on OS that I (know) I speak for, EA's football game is terrible in terms of gameplay. That fact won't change until EA changes.

Well I consider myself neither a EA fanboy or gullible, well maybe a little of latter and I also think M13 will be not only better than M12 but different from "run of the mill" Madden. Now I could turn out to be completely wrong but I believe based on the changes that have taken place, the game will follow suit.

I don't begrudge anyone that doesn't agree but I wonder how much attention they are paying to what seems to be happening in relation to creating the game. You stated, "EA's football game is terrible in terms of gameplay. That fact won't change until EA changes." and according to the available information I have found, EA has changed in relation to Madden and EA football as a whole. Of course that does not equate to Madden 13 being better or different but by your own admission it's a necessary step for improving the game and reason for optimism, imo.

I have my reasons like Big said above and I did say, cautiously optimistic, but that must mean something different than what you think it means.

If you continue to think 13 will be the same or worse than 12, please, by all means, continue.

And like Big said, there have been position changes and number of game play people changes, but I know how that can be forgotten and ignored.

What a boring place this would be if people's opinions and expectations would be the same.
