Yeah I doubt that this is meant for people that know what football is and have a passion for the game.

This is just the sims barbie doll egocentric populistic shadow of what football is.... A real shame that EA is trying to pull their game in this direction.

The difference in cost, time, effort, and ingenuity is hugely different...and EA knows it. Why spend months and lots of money and man hours with a team of talented people who would be tasked to design a new car from the ground up when you can go pay two monkeys to just put a new paint job and rims on the one youve been selling to people for the past 5 years?

All of what you mentioned though doesnt bother me. I mean the superstar stuff. But it angers me that they look for new and cheap angles to sell thier product. EA knows people are getting frustrated wtih them..so they are gonna do this kind of dog and pony show to calm the mob down every year. Its like President Bush and his "misdirection" of the war. We went from "we are going over there because hes got WMD" to today "we had to go over there because we cant let him hurt his own people" lol.

Why should they make drastic changes to a product that has dominated it's particular niche of the gaming market for years? The majority of gamers like Madden, they don't want or need the wholesale changes you speak of. Given that reality, no businessman in his right mind would even consider such a move.

Re: Superstar mode movie/info on IGN Sports

I'm not the type to create and put myself on the virtual football field, but I'm sure there are a ton of people who are. I know some guys (more casual gamers) that like to create themselves and put them into Madden. I think most people on these boards are hardcore fooball gamers whose only wish is to have the most realistic football gaming experience. Unfortunately, we are the minority. That said, Superstar mode doesn't bother me either. They've added a role-play element to Madden, which I equate to how GTA:San Andreas added a touch of role-play to that game... give your player tatoos, change his hair style, make sure he eats (but not too much or he'll get fat), go to the gym and get buff.... people eat that stuff up.

Re: Superstar mode movie/info on IGN Sports

Personally, I think that this mode has a lot of potential. I know I'll try it, at the very least, just to see how it is. Maybe we should all just wait unitl we've tried it ourselves to say this was a worthless addition
