Re: What are true 2K fans doing right now?
Holy VC Batman are you seeing this! Thats it Doc I'm nominating you as chief developer in charge of all aspects you've nailed but for me I have played the Madden game and even though it is not as polished a product as the great and addictive 2k series it does has some features that I find of interest and for me could improve even more on. What you've stated does hold merit but I've been playing Madden for years and this years release has shown inprovements not as we'd like to have seen but all the same some improvements. I'm a 2K guy through and through but in this case I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to EA and forgive some of its short comings after all its a little difficuilt trying to chase or catch a Comet by the tail...its not too bad but if they've decided to eliminate the competition they should have taken the "Spoils" of war and just copied 2Ks better attributes since they won't be using them anymore (for the time being) which is where they've come up on the short end. Its always been that way under these kind conditions...as in in war and fierst negotiations, to the victor go the spoils they should have use what they er, uh removed from the market (it was all business)...VCs ideas and innovative features...my guess is they didn't want people to think they just copied 2K so they really blew a great opportunity to grab those "Spoils Of War". As far as what I'm doing...playing Football of course its all good for me but I am going to miss 2K6 this year but then still I have a whole world opening up with the 2K series and plenty of files and features to keep me going and still room for some Madden.

Re: What are true 2K fans doing right now?
While I am enjoying Madden this year, its still missing many of the things 2K had that made it so great. If they do what you suggested here with the 360 version or with next year's Madden then I might just go to the door step of each person who helped create the game and kiss 'em ... Rickster, they definitely need to "steal" those attributes as too many players in Madden are rated so close together and play way too similar. In the 2K games every player felt like an individual and had a personality. You just don't get that when you play the current Madden games. I'm hoping they implemented more attributes in the 360 version as it would really be a breath of fresh air. |

Re: What are true 2K fans doing right now?
Actually I was refering to the style and package that the 2k series inspired as in the "Total Package" and innovative ideas they've bought to how we precieve Football video games...for example the "TV Style Presentation" its use of "Witty and Smart" commentary those "Priceless cut scenes" and timely replays and the list goes on and maybe even those attributes relating to players but thats one we've given them a little slack on due to what happen in 2K4 with those "Break Away" backs but thats an easy fix simply lower them and you''ll see the difference in the game still though they were better then what the competition had out at that time IMO. I guess you'd say with all that has transpired and happened over this trek to Madden 2006 I would have thought they'd come out with something that would really change my mind as to what direction the series (Madden) was heading towards and now the handwriting is on the wall...the intention was never to re-introduce the series to the now current platforms but onwards to greater horizons and that would be the "Future" of video gaming as we know it...ladies and gentlemen (ladies if reading this post) I present to you the future of video gaming coming soon to a platform near you XBOX 360 and the ps3 ETA last confirmed this Nov. or next Spring which ever comes first. For now enjoy what you have and hold onto your favorites soon these will be classics and we'll all be awed by next gen games and platforms...now this will change things and very soon for 2K and Madden fans alike. Personally I think 2K has the edge as their game illustrates by fans who still continue to dable with is friendly editing base which leaves it open for future possibilities as in guys here on the net and eleswhere still tweaking on the 2K series going as far back as 2K3 according to what I've seen at just this one site alone and others spring up to keep the series afloat until its return which itself is still a question but 2K is so far ahead and advanced that maybe EA does need a head start to catch up...funny how I said that,when you look back and think about it perhaps 2K was the future in a sense. Imagine the possibilites if none of this exclusive deal every happened whose future would you say had the upper hand and potential as far as producing the "Ultimate" video Football game The future is now has been said before but in looking at 2k as a series it was the one actually moving foward and towards the "Future" and as far as I'm concerned it really hasn't left only delayed, I'm still enjoying Madden but for now things are so-so.

Re: What are true 2K fans doing right now?
On top of everything that you guys have written, the one thing that really, and I mean really draws me in, is the replays and halftime/postgame show. I mean, to sit back at half time and watch your performance and the computers performance, and to hear boomer actually commentating the action is simply a thing of beauty. I never miss the half time show (I sometimes miss the post game because I get so pissed at losing that I automatically hit the button before the post game hi lites.) You get to see the qb drop back, bounce, and deliver. Or you get to see the cut backs, spin and juke moves, simply unbelievable to me.
Oh, yesterday Kurt Warner gets sacked and then he tries to get up and goes back on the ground and the trainers come out and ask what day is it. He stumbles to the sideline and he was diagnosed with a concussion, out for the year (5th game of the season). I laughed because it looked so real, and I had never seen that before. This game is timeless, man. |
