Just Wanted To Say Thank You To The Madden Guys

[dubz]

I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600, and I've been playing sports games since Double Dribble, and I just wanted to say that I have never seen the level of community involvement from developers like this in my life.

Madden has been around for 20 years now, and it has been through its ups and downs, and in this gen there have been more downs than ups, but the good news is that the developers know this, and they are doing something about it. Not only are they doing something about it, but they are aksing us to help them with suggestions so that they can make the game that we all are all desperate to play.

I don't want to ball wash you guys too much, becuase with praise comes complacency, but I do want to say thank you for caring about the sim community, and thank you for being so up-front with us in regards to the game that we all want to love again.

That was truly special moment. A real Christmas miracle.

God bless us everyone!

Though I'd say I am excited about Ian and phil being here, the consumer in me who's been burnt since the price was raised I'd say save the thank yous until you see if we get another 60 dollar paperweight touted to have "85 new features and

enhancements

" only to actually get a better looking turd in reality.

Nice post Dubz....and I'm thankful as well, that very important EA reps are here at OS.

At least we know we're being heard.

They've taken the first step; their ears are open. Now we need them to take our suggestions and implement them into the game.

Exactly Matt.

It'll be interesting to see just what and how many of our suggestions find there way into '10'.
