How are fundamental elements in football a "feature"? ol/dl interaction? is a feature?...this is football 101,same as wr/cb interaction.

Want a back of the box "feature" for 2010?....."Authentic NFL gamplay"

The back of this years box says "Most Authentic Gameplay Ever" right next to the picture of Eli with his hand on the wrong side of the football.

Talk about irony.

Thanks for not lying to us.

I guess if I've gotten under your skin to the point where you feel it is a "vendetta" of yours to make the game better, then you need thicker skin, my man. Tell me where I have stated anything that is untrue (other than the backwards compatability) and I will gladly retract my statements.... I think if I sold you something for 50-60 bucks every year for several years and it didn't work properly or had issues that you never expected, you would be more than a little pissed off at me, too....and if I kept hyping about "next year" and didn't deliver, what would your opinion of me be? I realize YOU personally didn't make and sell me the games...but you are now THE face of EA here on these forums, so if I were you, I would've expected a little backlash. Anyway, if my remarks bother you that much, hey, I'll quit posting. I'm sorry if I misunderstood....I thought you wanted our true opinions and feelings about the game.

Dude, I am not mad at you, or accusing you of being untruthful either. I want you to keep posting as you have. However, I'm stating a fact - you are very critical, more-so than most. Bezo is too. This isn't a character flaw...it's 100% understandable. Neither of you bought Madden 09, so I have a personal goal of making a game that makes both of you PERSONALLY happy...I'm not sure why, but that statement seems to be offending you.

I don't want you to feel like this is an honor or anything, but based on your critiques and feedback, you do have a unique position of being someone that the lead designer constantly monitors and follows with a personal goal of pleasing you...I don't think you should feel slighted or offended because of that.

Hope that clears things up. Keep doing what you're doing.

It's kind of semantics...you won't hear me sell them as "new features" - I'm not into that marketing/PR spin stuff. But the fact is that both of those areas need pretty large overhauls...not just small fixes and tweaks...so that's why I refereed to them as such.

I've learned it over the years at MaddenMania.

Also - FYI - this isn't part of my job. But Phil and I both felt someone had to do it...the silence was deafening for those many years.

In my own thoughts, I highly doubt it. Not tryna say that we'll never get it, but with all the other things people want fixed for next year, It just seems out of reach.
I have no clue on how difficult it was to integrate the feature into Live, but with the additional players on a single football team compared to an NBA team, it seems like a demanding thing to see for next year.
I could be wrong but seeing how much needs to changed/fixed that went wrong, or never got addressed feels like the main focus so far for 2010.
