Seriously tired of this excuse. Madden for years has arguably had the worst AI, worst presentation, and worst play by play of any of the major sports titles out there who, btw are working with the same specs. Limited space has nothing to do with a CPU time out at 1:01 every game or the rest of the AI that has gone downhill the last three years.

Madden's problem isn't the convenient lack of space excuse. It's the constant turnover of the dev team and lack of direction or ability to stay the course.

What settings are you guys playing on to get this 1:01 bug to happen? I played 4 games last week vs the cpu and it never happened. I even called timeouts before the 1:01 mark so I couldn't prevent it from happening somehow by calling a timeout myself, and it still didn't happen for me.

The constant turnover with dev teams is a real problem, definitely, but the lack of space is just as real. Now maybe if they would use the space they are given more on things like gameplay and AI instead of 3d grass or insane levels of detail in all 32 stadiums, uniforms, cleats, gloves, etc... then the space would be used more efficiently. Only problem with that is then people would complain about stadiums, uniforms, cleats, gloves, grass, etc... So in order to make everyone happy, yes they need more space to work with.

Space really isn't the problem man. Look at games like Fifa, Nba 2k, NHL, those games are all miles ahead of Madden. Yes more space means potential to add more, but that doesn't matter if the people making the game are lackluster.

I'm not going to sit here and argue about this, I've talked to the people that know how this all works and you have your opinion and I have mine.

I think he meant the score overlay. I wished they added a ticker. They do it for 123 teams in NCAA, but can't for 32 in NFL? C'mon, man.

Trust me I hope that this years madden saves from jumping on the new consoles day one. As of now it's not looking very likely I'll be sticking with this gen. Granted we have only seen one 5 second clip of gameplay footage and it looks the same as the last two years. Season ticket for this gen will help me decide. If I'm blown away next week, so long madden on this gen and hello ps4.

I think he knows the difference between a score overlay and a ticker though. The score overlay is generally referred to as a scorebug, we'll find out soon enough, but I'm just curious what he means by new tickers.

Or Game Breaks like Studio Updates in NCAA.
