As great as it's been to interact with the Madden team on this edition, its sad to see them flat out ignore specific questions about the game. If it isn't going to have online franchise step up and say it. If it isn't going to be for the PC, step up and say it. The list goes on and on. The secrecy doesn't enhance the product all that much,but it sure does piss off the people that pay the bills.
EA has no specific competition right now, so the time to be upfront about the product has never been better. Wht has EA not answered some of the questions that have been asked about repeatedly regarding this years game? It's becasue the game will not feature many of the things that have been asked about. The 2011 version is more likely to be a complete game. Afterall, if the game had online franchise this year, EA would simply announce it. Those that dont care would continue not to care, but those that do care would be elated! All the signs are there coaches. We've done this dance before. Name a single time that information regarding a Madden game was secretive and then the item in question came out in game. NEVER!
Most if not all these items we've been asking for won't be in game. Expect nice changes in what has been discussed and not much more.
The one concern I have about EA still is that you don't get the fact that some people want some specific features and wont buy the game if it doesnt have them.
Frankly, the unanswered questions are a turn off to consumers. Hopefully someone will bring some competition and create everything that is being asked for. I know of at least 3 groups trying to do just that right now and most of them have quality people working on the projects. Part of the problem here is that EA has no competition.
You can bet your azz that when some quality football game comes out that has some of the things we've been asking about like online franchise or a pc version EA will see many former customers buy that new product. There's some pretty good people working on online football games right now and all this disregard for the questions posed here just leads me to think EA wants buyers to once again back into a purchase site unseen.
I mean really, just exactly what has been upgraded so far? Yes, the graphics look better, but thats an evolving aspect of tech that always imporves. No big whippie there. Adjusting values and ratings are nice, but frankly many of us have been fixing that mess on our own for a long time. Again, no big deal there.
If all that is being offered is a prettier game with a bunch of promises I'll pass on the 2010 version just like I did with 2009.

Chill, man. Ever heard of a marketing plan?
More information will be unveiled closer to release. We should be getting some good news around the draft (12 days) so just be happy about that. They are answering the questions that they can.
