After 8 years of medicority I don't have the patience for 3 year plans or year 1 of this sound upgrade plan to be honest. The new xbox720s release next fall apparently.

Forget I even mentioned NBA2k or the Show, I expect EA's football game to at least match EA's hockey and soccer game. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Yeah, I knew what he was talking about, but a few weeks ago it was confirmed that was an old build.

I just saw those other games mentioned, and I wouldn't personally think that in the first year Madden would be the same or above the games mentioned, but it's a good target to shoot for.

I hear you KJ on the patience, but based on the past, I want a foundation laid before rushing new tech out and having it buggy.

The only problem I have about the foundation being laid properly first is that, it seems every 3 years, someone new comes along and digs up the foundation and starts over.

What if Chase leaves Madden in 2 years? People thought Ian was on the right path a couple years back--he's gone. I can't recall--is Phil Frazier still there? I think he's gone, too. Now it's Cam Weber's show and foundation...until he goes, as well.

My point isn't that people come and go--it's a business. That happens in life. But you can have people come and go and still maintain a clear direction and goal. If you want a football analogy, look at the Steelers--coaches and players come and go, but the foundation doesn't shift and the goal is never altered.

I feel like the Madden team always has a clear direction...a clear plan for 2-3 years, and then it shifts and we start over.

Understood and agree, but out of our control.

I was merely thinking of the rushed pro-tak, Extra Point, etc...... fight for fumble

Correct me if im wrong but i dont think chase is the main audio guy..from my understanding there is a team working on the audio..its not a one man game here..EA has added double the amount of dev's to madden this year..again correct me if i am wrong.

By the way..this community here gets a lot of my respect..we are part of the reason for the changes taking place..so look at it as a positive thing rather than a negative thing. If it werent for us..i guarantee you madden would NOT be improving like it is right now..

I think you're right for sure on the audio, but I believe Chase is the point man for commentary. Not sure 100% though...

Radio Guy was a disaster, but I gotta admit, he had emotion. Esp. when playing a home game. Gave it that "home team radio" feel.
