    Re: Why can’t the Madden developers fix this list of issues that are in every game?

    But to answer your question about why Madden can't fix their issues there are a few reason.


    1. Time - a new game every year, they are supporting the current game on top of creating the new game all within a years time which is a crazy turn around time.


    2 Engine - all EA games use the frostbite engine, which is notorious for being difficult to deal with and was designed for shooters not sport games.


    3. EA - EA cares about profits and they know people will buy the game regardless of what they put out because its Madden.

      Although I rarely see the Computer system execute it, a display throw on 3rd and long wouldn't be the worst play-call in the game. Usually groups apply added stress on 3rd and long, and this is an excellent response.

            Have you ever wanted to coach or play basketball at the next level, but something prevented you from achieving that dream? Fret no more. Ask me about SimWorld Hoops to see how you can create your virtual self, and follow your path from the prep-level to the pros.

              Have a nice day.
              3rd and 17 is just one example. I've seen numerous handoffs to the RB on 3rd and 5 only to pick up 1 or 2 yards. That isn't good football anyway you slice it. Don't you find it interesting that we have people who develop mods for PC that clean this up, but you have professional developers at EA who ignore it or don't seem to get it year after year?

              Bring in NFL coordinators from both sides of the ball as well as special teams to sit in during development and have them watch the decisions made by the CPU. Give the programmers at EA tips on what needs to change. This would cost money that EA has plenty of, but it no doubt would help erase the negative reviews we see every year and help sell more copies to those who have stopped buying. With 2k Sports looming on the horizon, this would be a wise approach.

                As far as the playcall; depends on field position.

                I can't tell you how many times Holmgren ran the draw, backed up 3rd-and-long. Its a punchline in Green Bay and Seattle, despite the fact he will wind up in the HOF.

                As far as the people that make the game; they don't control the budget.

                Scream about the millionaire board members that won't allow this to become the game we all want. Thats the real problem.

                You want free speech?
                Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.

                  Millionaire board members don't dictate a shoddy UI, or fixes from one year not carrying over to the next. That's a disengaged team.

                    They do dictate budgets and how or where time is spent and that is factual. A fix isn't a $ generator in their business minds.
