Part seven of the 8 part installment will follow customization..

What We can Learn?

Customization or lack there of?

]The main theme of this game was CUSTOMIZATION but yet when consumers purchased this game what we all expected was not given..Not everything was fully customized leaving some to scratch their heads. while NFL customization was off limits what was there was good if you were creative enough to make what you had.

But with the rest of people out here who can't leap tall buildings in single bound we tried to associate best with what we knew. While the experience was countless it still felt limited and that should not have been. It was rather restricted I felt while trying to be free. But still had good options of customization.

Walking away with this the feeling of just what could have been last longer than what was put on the plate. imagine what it really could have been to build a stadium or a team by itself instead of just playing in over emphasized stadiums..While this game still went against the powerful juggernaut known as madden it could have ran away with new features and new ventures instead of caution.

What We Can learn From this?
-Customization needs to be revisted as to what it Actually means
-Fully customization should mean what it means not limited.
What we missed?
-Sometimes expectations exceed actual results leading to disappointment
-The fact that there was no license? in my mind means you have nothing to lose so in the words of the joker "if your going out go out with a smile"

Up next...in the 8th and final installment of this series will not cover the games but yet the gamers behind the games which will focus on coming to actualization.
