If EA is to keep the NFL license, can they atleast get some competent dev. talent?

i mean for christs sakes these jokers cant even figure out the fatigue issues that has been with this game since what.. '05 when vick was on the cover ? theres always some nonsense with fatigue every year.

they admittedly had no idea how to even calculate half tackles and sacks a few years back when 2kgames was doing it already, which meant you could have these lame gang tackles with no assists given out. im still not sure if theyve solved that whopper, i gotta check later. proper lineman interaction and runners sliding passed blockers are nonexistant still, not to mention defensive back and wideout jockeying at the line and while running routes.

now they cant for the life of them figure out how to play uncompressed replays on the PS3 its over their heads...

you know there are other capable developers out there who somehow manage to stream hundreds of miles or cityscape with no loads and more physics calculations then all the madden games combined while still having a solid 60 frames, something madden STILL lacks. im sure they would love to have the madden franchise.

my advice to tiburon studios...take the whole staff back to Full Sail, take a few refesher courses and intern at Criterion, or Papyrus. give madden to criterion and the nascar series back to papyrus..thanks.

My thoughts exactly. OP: could you say it all again? I don't think the guys in the mezzanine heard you. Then again, I'm sure they heard the first 27,984,382.2 people who said the same goddamn thing.

it's annoying though. some ppl still haven't accepted what a disaster current gen madden is. this is coming from someone who hated 2k games and was a huge madden/ea person just 3-4 years ago.

why is this gen still missing so many things that were on the xbox ps2 versions? i can understand on the first couple of iterations but to not have things, or not have them working, 4 years into this cycle is inexcusable imo.

so many other threads where these topics can be discussed. No need to create a stand alone thread just so that you can take a shot at the devs and have the whole board see it.
