Not tried All pro, Will switch it today and see if theres a difference.

I am not attacking you or him, I am just trying to understand why you guys interact the way you do. I see many football fundamental discussions spontaneously spark on this board, where really solid questions and suggestions are raised concerning Madden but haven't noticed you guys chime in. I remember when ChaseB started a thread to ask people about commentary, checked in to reply to posts and I even saw some things discussed, in M13. I am not saying we necessarily caused those hings because they likely were already slated but it was nice to be acknowledged. You guys are on these boards, yet don't really seem like a part of the OS discussions, which I think is unfortunate. I think just getting involved more in these discussions and getting a true understanding of where people are coming from with wanting NFL passion to be in Madden, would go a long way. I keep reading where the devs say they read these boards and think that nice to know. Reading is one thing but truly grasping where we are coming from is another thing entirely and that's what seems to be missing. There seems to be some disconnect or something lost in translation with what we describe on these boards, that devs say the read, with what ends up in the game. I do a lot of reading past threads and I am encouraged by the level of interaction Ian had back then. However, I also noticed what seemed to be that same disconnect because, imo, the interaction I have read was more him getting feedback on what he wanted to do versus a true back and forth. I would like to see you guys get down in the muck with us because I don't think anybody at Tiburon can "get it" without fully mixing it up. Being an observer from a far is better than nothing but truly being apart of the living dialog that takes place on here makes for better understanding. Some threads start out slow but like some great movies, get really deep as they progress and it would be nice to see you guys being a part of those.

I'm guessing that is the way EA has told them to handle the forums. I think their role is more towards damage control then it is at getting idea's from the sim community on of how to better their game. Maybe I am wrong, if so I do apologize.

I'm sure it is hard for EA to listen to a community with all the different types of players and comments, but the majority here seam to want the same things. The link in my signature shows most of them, and isn't a bad place for EA to glance at to see what OS would like fixed first. By next year, the votes should be a good indication of things.

I guess that's a good thing...R they going to tune the arm reflexes? Lots of snuggling, ball carriers not protecting the ball when they're tackled, loaf of bread ball carrying, etc...

I feel like the "arcade" players and casual gamers will buy Madden no matter what. I mean put up a good commercial and state its the best madden yet and they are sold. The only people that are not going to buy it are us "sim" gamers. We are the ones who care about the content of the game and realism. Cater to us in terms of gameplay and cater to the casual gamers in terms of marketing and you got us both.

Oh they will, just you wait! This year was definitely a step in the right direction, the game plays fantastic!. It has it's issues but what sports game doesn't? Even the "Almighty NBA2K" has problems that ALWAYS has to be patched every year. Madden 14 will be even better with editing and half of the problems with this game won't be there. Madden 15 is gonna be what we've all been waiting for. Gameplay, Features, Presentation, you name it and its gonna have it. In 2 YEARS, Madden domination. Mark my words. 2 MORE YEARS BABY.

Until the new consoles come out and they have to start from scratch again.

Are you aware of how long people have been saying, "next year the game will be perfect"...it never is, and it never will be.

You don't know that for sure. Game developers are really smart guys making video games.
