Spend your money, be disappointed, and I'll see you back here Bout a year from now. It's going be crap. The rtp isn't ready, and they screwed real fans.

It was done that way because you can create a player at any time. you can start as a coach play 2 weeks and then create a player. it would be weird and totally unrealistic if you were drafted at that point. they could have you randomly placed on a team with no reasoning to it, but then people would complain about that too. the way they did it was the only logical way to do it.

I never said i was against editing in or outside of CC. I actually posted it as an idea on the gamechangers site as soon as the word came out that it was not in.

how were they answering so bad that would warrant firing?

Man,
No disrespect, but really don't understand what you are saying? I did not say anyone should be fired, we haven't even played the game yet, I said if I used the same logic to explain a situation where a major lapse in what our clients are used to, at my job, was taken away. I'd be fired. When you are the head of a dev team, and you promote your new "features" as groundbreaking, you damn well better to be able to explain why your features are worth changing the way the game had been played for years. I do not think they have done an adequate job of that. Please tell me how they have?

Aside from that, ea stock has dropped drastically for the past 12 months, the video game industry is struggling, and the whole economy is about to burst, so from an economic standpoint, please explain how isolating a large part of your target fan base makes sense? There will be a decline in overall sales, again, for madden. why stand up for them? This Is their attempt to use a big franchise and make it more profitable, by making more online friendly, , instead of making the game more enjoyable. The sooner you realize that bro, they do not care about anything, but their bottom line, the better off you will be.

no you dont say that they should be fired but you insinuated it. why else say you would be fired from your job for saying what they have been saying?

online doesn't make them more money. they actually spend more money to support their online game modes. add that to the fact that more people play offline than online doesn't show it to be more profitable in any way. how is it helping their bottom line to make a game that only caters to a smaller customer base, and require money and people to keep their servers running?

First, Because "we didnt have enough time" does not cut it in real business. Good luck, if you think it does. Second, if what you say is that the "offline" consumer is the majority of their consumer base, then they are really screwed, bc that is where the majority of features have been removed.

Should I post you a link of what ea stock, and madden sales trends have been? Bc it's not good. But maybe you and your optimism can turn It all around.. Your about to waste your money on a 1/2 a.. Release.

sure they left some features out but in no way is this a half a attempt my man no way at all. they put a lot of work into this years game and look what they have to show for it. a RTP engine, CCM and the whole new commentary team and all that stuff. doesnt sound like a half a attempt to me. if you feel that way then hey more power to ya.

[peylog27]

Reed.. You've played it? Or watched vids on-line? My "man". I'm talking about what I know is left out, your talking about hype. Or have you played the game in depth? Bc if so, I gotta bunch of questions...

It really doesn't. If this were really true on the main mode on the game which is in many way the heart of EA people would have been fired, paticularly if there is any truth to the 2 year theory.

It doesn't make any sence, I think it's is suicide, these thread are noting come August this board will be flooded with angry users many of whom will not take lightly this 65 dollar building block for the Glorious future until they can actually complete it in M14.

i've just watched the videos online my man. but no i have not played it. i realize your talking about what's left out believe me i'm just as upset as you and i would love to have that stuff back in this year but in my mind i dont think this year has been a lackluster development year.
