Put pardon me if I misunderstood your implication.

They haven't. If & when they do, I'll have that confidence in them.

We all pay the same amount of money for the game, so why should any of us be willing to sacrifice our preference in favor of something else? This year they might focus on improving gameplay vs game modes, next year it might be game modes over gameplay. We shouldn't have to settle for a gap in between improvements to anything. We've been doing that, and thats why we are where we are.

I agree. We shouldn't have to. But I have been settling.

Again, I could care less about those other demographics. I'm indifferent to them. Their concerns are theirs. They can join OS and speak for themselves. I'm concerned with core elements only. When they get that up to par, I'll worry about the perifpheral stuff.

Kill superstar mode three times, and when your done killing it...kill it again.

See it as you may, my intentions were not to insist that you wanted to see it scrapped. I've made my point on the matter and you've made yours, lets call it a difference of opinion and move on. This going round and round is going nowhere.

Take care!

Hate it. Remove it. One of the worst ideas in videogame history, and time and time again has proven to be a disaster. Last year one player noted that in his SS as a Wide Reciever, in week 12 his QB had 9 touchdowns, and 60 INTS!!!!!!!! 60!!! Its one of the worst ideas in the history of videogames and its an insult to gamers to keep polishing that turd.

Go grab a copy, study and emulate as much as possible) 2.)Solidify and tighten gameplay, fix most of the bad exploits 3.)Completely redesign and flesh out franchise mode If you manage to do these three things, you'll have a critical AND financial success on your hands.

Period. End of Story. Madden 2010 should ONLY focus on these 3 issues. Nothing more. Nothing less.

kill this mode or just leave it alone. fix the gameplay issues especially wr/db interaction and ol/dl interaction before worrying about something extra.

now if the reason that we see so few new animations every year is because of space on the disk. kill this mode and use the extra space for new animations and whatever else you can do to make the game more realistic.

get rid of that RPG element of it! it slows down the gameplay and it gets annoying!

make the contract worth something, i mean whats the point of having a bigger contract if it has no affect?

got to keep it fresh, different types of training drills, not just practice plays.

got to make it replayable, i don't want to start right off the bat, or have a 99 rated player in my rookie year, i want to work my way up.

i know its not very elaborate, but its just a general idea of what i want.

more interactivity too, maybe player relationships.

I haven't tried Superstar mode this year so I don't know if it's been changed but I want to have to work my way up the depth chart. And be able to return kicks.
