This has nothing to do with the console version, and is a totally separate entity. Seems like you just want to hate.

Yeah this is no different than the FIFA online and Tiger Woods online apps they've put out lately.

# 4 Felipe526 @ 02/06/10 06:27 PM

# 5 henson @ 02/06/10 06:57 PM

You gave your opinion as trolling seeing as it was based on wrong information.

So, being the free-thinker you are, I would suggest you start choosing your words more wisely before closing your eyes and bashing.

LOL why do people think adding something
like this takes time away from the console version?

Because companies have limited resources.

I've read a lot of folks like the Tiger Woods online. Not sure how Madden will translate though. Were those on Facebook?

But the point is that the resources that are being used for this have nothing to do with the resources used for the console version.

# 14 Valdarez @ 02/06/10 10:18 PM

Resources are resources. Money, people, time. They can be sunk anywhere, on anything, but they are not limitless.

Right, because of how they were allocated. If they were allocated differently, then... well, they could be working on Madden.

I don't honestly care one way or another with regards to the resources/allocation. They're going to develop Madden at their own pace.

I'm in no way interested in a Facebook game though, Madden or otherwise. I know that others play them. I have family members that play that farming game all day long. Crazy stuff.

I'll check it out for sure. I'm always up for a different take on football. More options= good.

I'm standing firm on my thoughts I don't care for this expansion...and choose my words more wisely...SMH...this ain't 300...IMO they should be throwing all efforts towards the console versions...even if it's not taking any resources...I'm not a fan of football apps or any now that I think of it...so if i'm a ***** or a blind basher then so be it...I'm human...who on this planet isn't...you don't eat dessert before dinner...or at least you shouldn't...same concept

You stated that the focus of EA isn't to get Madden right based on them putting out a Facebook app. That is misinformation, as they have nothing to do with each other.

So you stating you're not a fan of apps in general has NOTHING to do with your initial statement. But I am glad I could be of service to you in your backtracking.

I love the bashers in the Madden forum. It's been a real treat to so easily dissect the posts and show the real agendas that are abound these days.

It's not a trolling hating site, either.

People have a right to express their thoughts and feelings on both sides, it just depends on far you go in expressing that opinion.

This is your only warning, and it's public.

The next sign of trolling you post on these forums, and you are banned.
