Madden should follow NBA Live's example

[rawcorp]

Whoever is in charge of Madden should follow NBA Live 2010's lead. NBA Live hired a NBA 2k guy (Mike Wang) to pretty much fix NBA Live. The Madden series should do the same and just hire somebody or multiple ppl from the NFL 2k series to pretty much improve Madden. I've tried the NBA Live 2010 demo and I will say that it is a vast improvement. Imagine what can be done for Madden!!

Funny story, we were told about this at community day by Eric and he said to watch for good things comming from them.

I think the problem really lies with the engine madden uses , more than EA needing to hire 2k people, but I can see why you feel that way.

Right now its looking like a really good move for the Live series.

I believe Ian has stated that he went back and looked at NFL 2K5 to try to get ideas for improving Madden.

Madden 10 does have a lot of good things going for it. I think things have been nicely improved upon since Madden 09. But I feel that Madden keeps improving each year just to beat the previous Madden. It doesnt seem to improve to be the best football game ever. How is it that nfl 2k5, a game made 5 yrs ago on an older system, has better core football mechanics than Madden 2010? We should be able to hands down say that Madden 10 is a better football game than NFL 2k5 instead of saying its better than Madden 09.

Yeah I just said hire 2k people because the Live 2010 feels like a game from previous Live titles, after they hired a 2k guy lol. I dont know if they made a whole new engine, or just "fixed" it. There just seems to be a correlation when the 2k guy was put in charge, the game started to be a lot more realistic.
