I like it. I'm also a business management graduate so maybe the marketing side got me.

The way this has caused so much fury is amazing. Madden hasn't been the greatest game to purchase for a very long time. But if you all think redoing the NFL 2k5 on ps2 roster or the APF 2k7 roster will suffice for authentic gaming get a life. Really get a life. To sit back and look at those horrible graphics from almost a decade ago and play itself like its hot is laughable. This is why Madden does what they do. If you want to be upset call out 2k sports. Instead of supplying a college BBall game they invested in wrestling. REALLY!! Look at baseball. Please ppl. Grow up.

If we want authentic gaming from established companies boycott the monopoly running the industry. And the phonies allowing it to happen. 2k knows they can produce a generic football sim and open the 2k share so the users can upload what they want to make it their own. But they won't. Not even basketball.

This did us soon wouldn't be if companies like 2k were about the consumer as the consumer is about 2k. It's amazing how much ppl are fanboys of businesses. NBA 2k isn't the greatest. It's really good. But not the greatest. EA makes the best games from top to bottom ( when they want to) period. Prove me wrong. Any league, not every year but pixel for pixel their better.

So stop hating and go with the flow or do something. As the saying goes- stop bitching and start a revolution.

You got to be kidding right?

IMO EA make good sports games., not great, not exceptional but just good..

Now you look at how many games they sell just with Madden and Fifa alone, and you tell me why with all their money and resources they can't make a brilliant game for every sports title every year?

You think 2k basketball is really good but not the greatest. Huh you got to joking right? EA hasnt even released a Bball game for 3 years.. NBA 2k series is better than anything EA sports has released in the last 4-5 years

You look at a company like SCEA that makes The Show that's something that EA can do but for whatever reason just doesn't...

Now I buy EA sports titles Madden, Fifa and this year I will be buying NHL because I love sports and sports games but lets not kid ourselves into thinking that EA Sports games for the last 5 years have been anything more than just 'good' sports games...

Up until this year, EA couldn't make a baseball came, it was eliminated by the license deal 2k made.

So, the development could be far behind in updating MVP.

Re: Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

I'm sort of surprised to see people here and Twitter upset about the name change. If this change is somehow an indication that Madden is committing to a new identity (perhaps less hybrid and more sim), then I'm all for this.

Probably going out on a limb w/ my thought process, but hopefully this is a suggestion that they are launching on new consoles this year and they're turning the page on the inconsistencies of the 360/PS3 generation.

I like your enthusiasm, I am betting on there being a next gen release for Madden as well this year. That being said I will be waiting until the new systems are out until I check out Madden. My intial impression is that Kolbe Launchbaugh will have had a huge impression on the next Gen title so it should offer something fresh in comparison to this Gen.

It's not enthusiasm per se, but rather I just don't perceive any and all news regarding Madden as a negative.

I more talking about the effort, dedication and product but The Show team...EA Sports could do this with all of their resources but for some reason doesn't...? Greedy

[Maelstrom]

Yep, I don't care about the name, just fix all of the bugs, get rid of the gimmicks, & give us a game that is, at a minimum, 90 percent complete & playable without constant freezinhg issues.

Oh, yeah, and FIX THE BLOCKING ISSUES will ya? Jeez it's only been how many years since the "new gen" consoles came out & the Madden developers can't even figure out how to make blocking work correctly?

Or, maybe they simply don't care what customers want.

You know what's funny we all love Football, and if they make a some what decent game we'd all buy it and they can't.

I hear you, but I think the employees at Madden feel they give 100% effort, dedication and deliver a good product.

It's some of the consumers feel a different way.

[oneamongthefence]

I agree. I don't like the title. XXV or silver sounds much better. Put it in a commemorative silver case. Done day.

From my fingers to your eyes...

I really hope this year is different. But I've been saying that for a long time now....

So stop hating and go with the flow or do something. As the saying goes- stop bitching and start a revolution.

1) Marketing is about making a product appeal to the masses. If there is outrage over marketing, marketing failed. Although, one could argue that Madden's past disappointments, from a consumers point of view, is why there is fury over this, either way though, marketing failed in the long run.

2) As an accounting graduate, I feel the need to say that numbers matter. Sure a business should make meaning for consumers but at what point do you decide on not pursuing a course of action due to risks in projections and forecasts? The market for some of these titles are not as large as everyone seems to think they are.

3) Pixel for pixel? Are you on the right discussion board? Gameplay >>>>> Graphics. I am speculating here but I imagine most individuals that browse these forums tend to value the same thing. Perhaps I am wrong but I always knew I could come to OS and expect to find sim gamers who tend to have the same view. If you meant pixel for pixel in some other way, I apologize for jumping to the most logical conclusion about what you meant.

The rest of your post doesn't warrant a response. You lost me when you said EA makes the best games from top to bottom.

No, EA has sucked for the last 5 years. They produce playable games due to graphics, but the gameplay hasn't met the hype.

NOW. In my opinion. With this year being an exception, I have bought madden, and college every year due to my love of recruiting and drafting. I didn't need to play the ga e as much as I liked to draft, sim, created stadiums and such. But once it came to playin the game I put it down.

NBA 2k 13 is great. Hands down, but I'm the type of player that's into management more than playing. Until this year I couldn't play the game. My favorite was 2k5 with CP3. But the way 2k innovates with team creation, draft classes, etc this is why I buy their games.

Now, where they drop the ball is leaving us without a college counterpart. It's test to have the college classes for the draft, but if you love college basketball, then you want to play the game. When will we see another coach K basketball. Tell me. With DLC the great 2k would make maaaaad money releasing a DLC of college bball. Who would t buy it. It would also save them money from the need to made CDs.


Anyway this is my point. EA has been robbing us because the other manufactures aren't going the extra mile. They have their followers and that's it. EA has the monopoly. Marketing, ads, corporate America. Shoot 2k sponsors the friggin tournament and doesn't produce a game. That's stupid. Or a slap in the face.

My defense of EA is in lieu of this years madden which I boycotted till they patched the editing. You can look at my twitter threads with madden and see how many back and for the we had. They don't know football. But they sell the hell out of a game. Next year you cannot say your passing up madden and NCAA. They will integrate the draft, and infinity engine on both games. With Sammy Watkins, and Robert dknemdiche who's not going to have that on deck.

But these are my opinions. Not bible.

My dude. Did you want me to say pound for pound? These are video games right. It's fantasy and entertainment. Not real correct?

As for marketing, are U serious. Their marketing isn't outstanding? Look at at their avenues for gaining attention. They have Ray, Mainstream commercials( multiple ) ESPN, magazines, the. The haters, the detractors, and the NFL 2k 5 minions. Look. If you tell me - Awe that game sucks don't buy it, I'm going to say, oh, word, huh let me see why it's wack. Then if your point is t true. I'm buying the game. All people aren't the same and these game manufactures could care less about me and you. They do extensive research, SWOTS, etc they practically have the witch doctor pray over mess and send it out.

Numbers huh, look at how many ppl complain on EA forums, then look at the fixes that aren't made, THEN, look at the success they still have. Don't turn my reality check into a support for EA. but do they make the best games too to bottom. Yes in my opinion.

I will not play a game that's unappealing. Nah. I won't play a game that doesn't have franchise mode. I won't play first person sports games.

I played football and baseball homie. Coached too. I look at all aspects of the game. Not just playing or graphics. Let me have my opinion. You have yours. Peace.
