Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

All im saying is how can you judge a game off of 4 plays.......Man If I was Ian I wouldnt come back either....

Im not an EA *** kisser but this is ******* crazy.....It has been 1 year and you want madden to do a 180 spin.....GET REAL........

I sort of agre with you...But the purpose of the video and hype is to get people excited...Its a necessary marketing angle...Problem is other than a few new presentation additions the game looks just like 09 and we all know 09 was a game that people hated...Personally I didn/don't hate 09...I just feel like Madden has gotten stale, boring, predictable and far from organic...

Now I'm a firm believer that you can't judge anything off of video's. for the most part...But as a Madden junkie for over 20 years this IMO is just the same game, prettied up and Pro Takked. Maybe thats good enough for most people but I really haven't enjoyed buying Madden in August and being disgisusted with it by November. I'm kinda feeling like "Here we go again" after seeing the recent media

There's a difference between constructive criticism and mindless bashing.

If you haven't seen at least one post here that was nothing but typical troll bash, then I want to know what type of OS filter you have because I would really like to have it too lol.

I haven't read every comment in this thread and if mindless bashing occurs it should be dealt with but when someone expresses a viewpoint of being underwhelmed or disappointed or criticizes any aspect of what they've seen I don't think its appropriate to label these people as bashers etc. If everyone praises the game or gives EA a pass on some glaring concerns I don't think that does anyone any good. The reality I'm seeing is if you don't like the game and haven't liked the game in the last2-3 years get ready for more of the same. Nothing about this game, its animations, its physics, weird player snychronicity and locomotion will change until the Madden Legacy Code is gone. So from this perspective those of us who realize its not developers its the code are beating the hell outtta a dead horse.

Its just really hard to see people all hyped about the lettering on a jersey or presentation when the gameplay is the same ole same ole. I'd like nothing more though than to be wrong

Just because a person thinks they are right, doesn't mean they are. This is evident in this thread.

I heard someone say that Ian was "gone" because of the relentless (personal?) bashing or something like that. What is the deal? What happened?

Ian said he was taking a break from the forums because of some of the rediculous comments made about the video.

People lie. Ian isn't one of those people.

Thanks both of you guys for the info. I do hope he does decide to stay for good. Even though I wasn't that impressed with the video. I have never/will never bash or question Ian and his teams drive or dedication to making a GREAT game of football.

I don't know why he would post that comment on his Twitter to begin with; but to come back and visit the forum--after claiming he was going to take a break, knowing the type of drama that comment would cause--just seems cowardly to me.

How is that cowardly? If anything that would be considered brave.....this makes no sense, besides we should be trying to embrace him being active on this board, not deter him....

I agree....but am baffled as to WHY he got so upset to begin with. I mean, maybe I missed some posts, but the mutitude I DID read were regarding the disappointment in the recent video, not personal attacks on Ian at all. And it isn't the first time he's threatened to stop coming here...I know of two other times he's made similar remarks.

I just don't understand what he expected people to say when they saw this video..were we supposed to LIE and say everything looked great when there were some glaring issues in the short video we were shown? Issues that we were TOLD had been fixed, btw.

MAYBE his frustration isn't REALLY with what people said, MAYBE it was about his own disappointment in how the game has turned out this year, especially after all the bold proclamations he's made since taking over last year. Maybe reality has sunk in for him that band-aids cannot cover the gaping wound that is Madden's gameplay.....just a thought.

Just like your concluding that the game is not going to be good, I'm concluding that it is going to be greatness. Same difference. We can agree to disagree at this point.

All of this from a two minute clip?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

Would the newly re-added sliders fix many of the problems in the video. Like lower run block would fix the gaping holes, and lower pass block would help the pass rush, maybe forming more of a pocket? The speed slider could slow things down a bit. And if we globally lowered acceleration it might stop them from going lightning fast from a standstill. I think the tools to fix this stuff are provided.
