The significance of building new stadiums..
Posted on February 9, 2009 at 06:36 PM.
I grew fustraited over the two years with Next gen madden giving me the only options of making new stadiums for teams baring I moved them...But what if madden goes back to it's roots from last gen and pretty much makes the option of bulding new stadiums for my team?

what should be fixed in madden: uniform accessablity
Posted on January 19, 2009 at 12:57 PM.
Over the years playing NFL 2k5 and madden titles I figured that one of the things that was confusing was always selecting a uniform in next gen..It took me a while to find a good solution to this and I had it when Ian made the thread concerning a throwback. While I understand this is not NFL 2k5 I always believe that just because the wheel has been invented does not mean that you can't still put rims on it. I loved the way 2k put the years under the uniforms..not only did this help with access but ... Read More

From playing madden, NFL 2k series even the MLB series and other sports games I noticed the importancy of classic players, teams etc..However the problem was even though you could customize the classic teams with the players you knew they were never THE PLAYERS. This all changed however with All PRO Football 2k8.

Improvements and what was missing in Madden Part III
Posted on January 3, 2009 at 01:51 PM.
EXTRAS part III: lack of realistic camera angles and presentation

As madden progresses the necessity for reality needs to take the step to the front and I felt that baby steps were taken in 09(which is progression) was great. but take in account I felt the lack of this was important but it was never there.


LACK OF STADIUM CUSTOMIZATION FOR THE ORIGINAL TEAM
The next one that got to me in this game is the lack of changing the create a stadium feature which ... Read More
