Who is gonna give Madden one last chance?

[Pared]

First year in quite a long time I'm actually interested in video game football again.

I guess that comment can speak for itself.

This quote and Pared's mean a lot to me.

Heck, even Tombsong has me strongly considering purchasing NCAA.

Yeah, anyone who has been here long enough knows I have not been around the Madden boards in years after creating sliders and doing lots of work for the game in the PS2 era... I dealt with the garbage that was NCAA and finally had enough last year. Madden, while I don't expect it to be the best football game ever, has enough work put into it that I'm strongly considering a purchase on release day.

Might wait a day or so... we shall see! I'm still on the "buyer beware" mode.

already pre-ordered...so far it looks like it could be one of the best football games to date.

Im skeptical for sure. Will probably wait to see what some OS vets say about it before I purchase, but im sure I will get it eventually. Probably even release day unless something terrible shows up.

But if APF was still making games I'm pretty sure i wouldn't even think about Madden.

I'm gonna share this before this thread gets closed. I think the real reason people are so mad about Madden or EA lack of progression is this. When we first started out with Madden. We had systems that could never fully replicate the NFL experience so we didn't care about running animations, or back pedals, or tron jugging, but with systems that can fully handle whatever you throw at it and then some. We feel like EA is playing us for some chumps. I for one couldn't wait for Madden 08 to drop on the ps3. I thought it would techno bowl, Goldeneye, and 2k5 all wrapped into one. The greatest game ever, but i was so blowed away with how terrible the game was i felt raped.

Then comes Madden 09 i figured EA would have all the bugs worked out, and would fully take advantage of next gen hardware. This would finally be the game of all games, but it was 08 dipped in gold. So me and probably a million others was like. I'm gonna wait and see before i commit to Madden 10. Can't have my girlfriend=Ea break my heart three years running.

My 3 cents

Thoughts of the locomotion we tried out in ANT almost brings tears to my eye. I understand why it didn't make it (defensive AI not equipped to handle it, so they'd overrun the ball all the time), but it felt so good.

Just do with Madden what I do with girls -- rent them.

Actually, my sweetie would kill me if she saw that, so forget I said it. But I do rent Madden every year, so that part you might want to listen to.
