Dedication has never been an issue with the Madden team..They work insanely hard and always have..Anyone who ever questioned their dedication is simply a ***** or a moron...or both. That would make them a HORON...LOL

They have been didicated its just when they moved to next gen they tryed to change madden to much and made some bone head moves in the process.

at 18K posts I'd expect you to be emotionally secure with Madden and whatever the game plays like...But its the people who seem to think this game will be a 180 degree turn from the past 5 iterations that I worry about...When I say worry I mean those cats who will be on this forum crying bloody murder when this game does not live up to their expectations...They will swear Ian lied to them or the evil EA empire fooled them again

Thats a good point..Shouldn't next gen have been all about change???..Otherwise what was the point???...What bone head moves are you referring to because I'm not sure I could call anything bonehead other than removing the vision cone and/or not refining it in a manner to continue to have a realistic impact on the game.

I actually liked the post. I think he's right. We need to stay even keel on this. How different are we from fanboys if we just get starry eyed and love everything?

I'm rooting for the new team myself. I hope they pull off something pretty cool. At the same time you can't discount past madden failures, and you need to be realistic. So therefore I agree in most parts with the OP.

^^^^

Although, Presentation is key for me this year.

No Presentation. No broadcast view. No buy.

I'm a big 2k guy and I hope I'm not one of those kids screaming bloody murder Last year I couldn't even scream... I just had to turn on APF. I've heard a lot of promising things. We'll see if it turns in to REAL football strategy on the field.

LOL you are a 20 year vet. Well bro Iam 20 year vet of madden to. I have enjoyed madden for 20 years. Through their bad years and good years. A true madden vet does not complain some much. I mean I have complain some. But for the most part I have stuck it out through thick and thin. I believe this will be the best madden I have ever seen in my 20 years of madden. I have seen madden grow over 20 years. And ever thing that grows have pain inlife. And madden have had some of those over the past few years. But the title is getting stronger year by year. I trust Ian and crew to give us their best. I don't care what haters say about Ian and work. anyonre that would spend 18 hours a day working with his crew and taking to interact with the fans to give them their wishes deserves all the praised in the world for a job well done. So those haters can say all they want. But like Ian put it sometime back. If these haters keep on all he will is put them on the iggy list and repost them. But for me I am glad Ian is here and all the work he is doing. Thank you so much Ian.
