Re: Madden NFL 11: Madden is Watching (ESPN)

Oh god. How many years until Madden is strictly an online game only?? Us in depth offline players are slowly being phased out by the looks of that post.

Might as well just take offline franchise right out of the game.

Online gaming has killed what made the games popular in the first place. Online cheesers who know little about how the game is actually played will rejoice.

Quicker, Simplier, Deeper. I cant make anything good out of that.

Re: Madden NFL 11: Madden is Watching (ESPN)

The numbers have to be taken in context as well. Are folks avoid interceptions by calling the same plays over and over again? By using a small number of routes? Definitely have meaning if looked at through the right lense. I built a data warehouse for a system that combined online marketing providers (SEM/SEO info across Ad Networks)) about 1.5 years ago to build out an online drill down reporting system. You can have all the information in the world, but if you don't ask the right questions, and more importantly, answer them with the right data, all that store stats don't amount to a hill of beans. FTR, if Ian reads this... MindManager was AWESOME for defining our feeds and huge datasets (some repeated, some didn't), especially when we started slicing it (created icon set for slicing & filtering the MindManager views). It saved us tons of time working with a filtered view.

Re: Madden NFL 11: Madden is Watching (ESPN)

The executives at EA just dont get it. After 5 years, lose of revenue every year and arcade style game play, they still going this way. WOW..when will these cats wake up. If they not trying to go the sim route, then create 2 games. One for arcade style like blitz and one for sim, since we have no other choice in the deal. I think i'm giving up on the nfl video game stuff and get more into the NBA and MLB, at lest we have choices on those fronts. We need options and this one sided take it or leave it approach at EA is just wrong. I want madden to succeed, but they need to get more sim and less arcade.

EA Sports is looking to not only speed up the time it takes to complete a game, but make the experience geared more toward how people are actually playing "Madden" online according to this user data they've compiled.
Again, please tell me im not seeing what im seeing. I cannot be seeing that. Is the play call screen now going to be like the old Tecmo Bowl???
