Possibly Madden 10, foggy. Was definitely present in 13 and 25. Again, I could be completely wrong, but that's my interpretation.

IF that is in fact what they mean, then I hope Rex or whoever will get people together and create an extensive slider manual covering the full details of Hum, CPU, and Penalty sliders and how they act and interact. Seems that even CPU sliders act differently than Hum sliders....SMH

lol, don't get me wrong, certain issues are still obviously present but like so many have stated before, you definitely get some tangible evidence that these guys are trying to make Madden, less Madden. When you watch the video, I think you'll get what I mean.

I'm so mad that I missed the live stream. I was totally planning on watching but, got tied up at that time. Going to watch the archived video for sure.

Even though I've been critical of some of the last ten years I really like what I've seen from Rex and Clint. I really hope they get this were it seems like they want it. Guess I better watch the video so I can give real impressions.

Rex,

If you keep up this vision and direction, I promise you that you won't have to worry about a lack of sales from this site.

Out of principal I can't say job well done so instead I will say looking very good!

wordtobigbird just posted the link to the archive up above. It's slow as a mofo though. Hoping someone posts it to youtube...

I know you caught alot of flack for the "Come at me, bro" comment at 2K. I only caught the tail end of the livestream, but I noticed how much humility Rex showed with the game. He openly acknowledged that this may not be the "90+" rated game that some people are wanting, and talked about areas that need to be more robust (e.g., WR/DB interaction) and will have to wait until next year. And I appreciate that honesty...

I'm part of the group Rex mentioned that have skipped Madden for a few years and that he thinks this would be the year to give it a try again -- it's pretty much a 'Buy' for me...

You make a good point.

The skeptic in me still wants to see what's going on with franchise aspects in connected careers before I feel so bold...lol...but I do agree that good behavior should be rewarded and encouraged for the future.

Maybe I'll buy a gift copy for my nephew toward that end, because I certainly support the vision and apparent direction.

If you guys executed anything close to what you've described as your vision/direction, then I echo what kehlis said: you'll have no trouble here!

Y'all got my respect, seriously, for this video. I came to the Madden forums after being very happy for a few months in The Show section just to see what was going on. After not liking last year's game and being all but certain I wouldn't purchase another Madden, this effort convinced me that you guys are doing things right and deserve to be rewarded.

Big ups, and keep up the good work!
