Re: NEW FRANCHISE BLOG

I am disgusted with how sad the madden boards are. People over here do nothing but just complain complain complain. Waste of time even coming here reading the post after post after post of just flat out crying over the smallish crap.

In my opinion Franchise looks great by what they are showing and talking about.

He even made a point to say they are working on the FOUNDATION first. So not to expect major changes, just simple fine tunings.

But hey keep on crying guys...............

Re: NEW FRANCHISE BLOG

I would think you might give it a rent, at least. That way, you can form your opinion better than on the net. Small investment for a week and you can return it vs huge investment and let down.(not saying you can't form an opinion by just watching on the net, but for me, I need it in my hands before I let something or someone else decide)

That's just my opinion, though.

I will rent it. I just said 60 bones and the investment of time doesnt seem likely based on what Ive seen.

The cynicism comes from the fact that they said they fixed the franchise logic last year too. Remember last year's blog with all the simulated stats?

Now I personally have faith that they actually did kill all the "cockroaches" in the logic this year, which should make franchise playable, but it's getting a little absurd that with so many years development being put into to franchise mode that we still can't do something simple like trade a future draft pick.

Me??????????

Dude I have not bought madden since 05 on PC......But I also say constructive criticism. But going on and on about something that was mentioned IN the blog about it being a TUNING year is just pointless.

So while you waste your time and energy posting I will laugh at you.

Re: NEW FRANCHISE BLOG

These boards weren't always like this, were they? At least, it didn't feel like it a few months ago. It felt like there were real conversations about how gaming could and should be. Now there's just whining. And

"ZOMG why cant we has XX feataure. 2k woulda had it by now. ZOMG, IAN = SO SLOW LIKE A TURELT.

GAME KILLERZ, you wont be get my $60"

Re: NEW FRANCHISE BLOG

Bart Starr became a Head Coach (Packers)... he was a great player (HOF'er)...

Norm Van Brocklin, Head Coach (Eagles)... great player (HOF'er).

There are probably a lot more stories at the Collegiate level of great College players becoming College Head Coaches though.

Chuck Noll played for 6 years with the Browns.
Tony Dungy played 3 years with the Steelers and 49ers.
Herm Edwards played 10 years in the NFL.
Mike Ditka was a standout TE for the Bears and Cowboys.
Tom Flores played 10 years in the AFL and NFL.

The list goes on and on. The obvious point is that players often go on to become head coaches.

Re: NEW FRANCHISE BLOG

that interface alone is an awesome improvement. i never really found out much about last year's franchise mode because the interface was so uninviting. looks like madden might finally be a year round title this year.

Who is crying?

What is sad is that people can't post anything negative on this board anymore without being labeled as crying.

We are all buying the game dude and we are all impressed. But the game is far from perfect and there will always be things to critique.

I loved the blog.

But are we really at the point on O.S. that in order to post something negative you have to preface it with everything you liked about something?

It's because of the communication that EA opened with the community. Suddenly, people gained a false sense of empowerment. What was originally a great bonus to talk to the devs turned into a method of demands. Once you open the channel of communication, and people get over the "new toy" effect that it caused, empowerment kicked in.

Now that you mention it the interface really does make it seem like a completely different experience. It was so bland last year, now it has some life and all the info really is easily accessible. I can't wait, hopefully ncaa is gonna be good so that can hold me for a month.

I'm glad somebody else pointed this out. Getting news and top stories brought to the forefront will make franchise mode come to life, and make franchise feel more like a living, breathing league.
