Re: Angry Joe put Madden (next gen) on list of 10 worst games of 2013

It's why I think it's relevant that Angry Joe posted this on his site. He likely has a lot of the more casual sports game fans (or at least more casual than those that frequent sites like this one). So for someone like him to really be breaking down and pointing out the ways in which Madden fails to deliver could be a good thing. Even if it simply makes some more people think about the fact that even though the game is OK, it could be a lot better if EA was doing a better job with it.

So, it may be a beaten horse around these parts, but not in the casual market. If they can start to be swayed a bit and maybe think twice about buying another installment of the same ol' thing from EA next year, it could start to make a difference to Madden's financial bottom line. It's likely the only hope we have to see some real improvements.

I understand your point, but, what casual market are we talking about? I'll give you example of my nephew and our college age son. A few years ago I was telling our nephew that Madden was wasn't realistic and what things were needed. This nephew is 26 yrs. old, doesn't go on the net to google Madden, etc.....as casual as they come. He told me I was trying to complicate matters. All he wanted to do was hook up with his buddies online and have bragging rights.

Same with our college age son. He was the only one on his wing to have Madden when school started. The lines were outside his door for a month or so before everyone else started purchasing Madden. Our son doesn't go online searching for Madden errors. One night last year, I was replaying a play over and over. Next time I replayed a play, he said, what's the matter dad, is something look a bit off to you, not realistic to you?

Just based on those experiences, I don't think casuals go on the net and start looking for issues with Madden, I think they would rather plug in and play, and have bragging rights with friends.

Just my view and opinion.

I have it on ps4 and think it plays a good game of football and I didn't like it this year on 360 ps3.

Regardless of how people feel about him the guy is making valid points that are being backed up and shown with visual proof. It'd be great if people used less of their energy either criticizing the reviewers that make vids like this or coming at the posters that agree and spend more time actually thinking about what they're saying and going "hey yeah he is making sense" without making a side comment on how useless it is to complain in a defeatist attitude. This game has been coasting for years and I have no reason to believe that 2k wouldn't have had a much better game by now.

Not about his opinion being right, valid, wrong or indifferent or even his presentation being NSFW and passionate/ over the top.

It's all been done before, even a decade earlier. You know the developers are going to make the game they want to, right?

My opinion won't make an impact on the game and others opinion won't make an impact on the game, either.

Reading this saddens me

I agree with your overall point (who cares) but I disagree to an extend with the love it or hate it part.

I certainly don't love it but at the same time I certainly don't hate it either.

That's why these forums are nice, I like to come here and view the different threads.

What I do HATE though is going into everything thread and seeing the same people either bashing the game or bashing those who like the game. It's completely unnecessary.


I'm not saying this to you, just kind of adding on to your post and showing why you see people point out when someone is continually beating a dead horse.

C'mon Kehlis....we know this one goes both ways though...lol

We have a few folks here (which shall remain nameless) that will do whatever is necessary to "question" the other's views on why they don't like the game.

For the record,I do enjoy the game...in small doses,I certainly can't play like I use to (multiple games) as the game gets boring to me after 1 game.

This^

How about you go look at the first response to this thread. I'll give you a hint it wasn't a Madden basher screaming monopoly.

This might come off harshly, but oh well.

You're a new member - run a search. All of this is has been discussed any number of times. A random YouTube personality (?) putting out a video that catches up to what a lot of people here were saying 8 years ago isn't noteworthy; thus why some people are commenting on the guy.

Very interesting thoughts in the thread lately.

I just hope Madden calls more big grabbing the facemask penalties on long sustained drives. (DPI too)

(lighten up the thread a bit)

The video is about Next-Gen Madden, which has only been out for 2 months.

That's true, but he brings up LG, so, if he talks about LG, it's fair to bring it up in here.

Dynamic sidelines have been complaints for several years on here.

While I don't exactly love this years Product it fulfills my football needs. Next Gen Madden is decent enough to provide me with a fun semi-realistic depiction of Football. I have many complaints about the game but what can I honestly do? Do I have a choice in the matter? No it's either purchase Madden or not play a new Football game.

I hate what Franchise mode has become. This Connected Careers has been spawned from the seventh circle of hell. As someone who buys sports games primarily for the franchise mode It really angers me. Honestly thank God for ultimate team because at least I can collect some Cards and play some football.

Madden gets the job done for me in certain respects. It's good at what it does. It gives a semi-realistic depiction of Football. I can't ask anymore and even If I did it's not like EA will listen. Here at O.S we are the minority. There are very few people that care about the things we care about. We are the hardcore sim gaming community and that is the minority group of people who buy Madden. That's not a complaint that's just a fact.

I apologize if this comes off Rantish.

You're right, only one side has a right to voice their displeasure about something.

One "side" can complain about the deficiency's we have in the game but if the other "side" trys to defend it they are the one's in the wrong.

You realize the hypocrisy there right?

I don't care what anyone's opinion is on the game, there is a lot to improve upon. This guy using his page to get hits is no different than the criticism that's been posted here and everywhere else for years, even by the people you point out who you seem to know a lot about for just joining the site.

This game has been coasting for years and I have no reason to believe that 2k wouldn't have had a much better game by now.

Oh.....Now I get it.




Oh and, welcome back

I saw his video just because I am subscribed to Joe but i mean i could not agree more. I love madden and have bought it every year since about 2005 and i gotta say I'm not the only one disappointed at the core game and its on field replication of the gridiron
