Lol. This is just a hard concept to understand for working stiffs. I work at a hospital doing ultrasounds. If the hospital gets new equipment for respiratory therapy, this "technically" doesn't effect the ultrasound department. Except that in reality, now my department can't hire two new experienced technologists or buy the new 3-D ultrasound equipment that would make our ultrasound images better because the hospital used its funds for the year.

Great Job Dev's....You know you did a great job too, so dont let this forum stuff phase you.

You are being kind. The DEvs put up with waaaay to much crap for no reason if you ask me.

It's a caveat of working for a company that has exclusive rights to a license. There's simply nothing you can do.

Actually if the developer's started posting on a message board asking for your opinion and how they can improve the game, you should go post your feelings. Most people here like the game and use this opportunity to try and get the missing elements that they want in the game.

See I dont get that feeling from all the negative posts and comments.
There is always some comment about how someone is not gonna buy this game because of "this" or "that", or how it's not worth their hard earned money...and I just think then, WHY are you even following the game info on a Madden forum then............just to grief it ?

If you can make a change and see it in the game right away, your game will be infinitely better. Commentary is quite a bit behind the times here. Audio in general is near the top of our priority list for next year...but I do still think you will see major improvements once you get your hands on the game compared to 09. The majority of 09 was spent just getting the radio guy out and Tom and Cris in...so for 10 we focused on filling out the areas that were lacking.

I definatly can understand, thanks for the reply.
