An Honest Opinion on why we desire perfection in Madden!

[swaldo]

I don't expect perfection....I just want the game to be where it would be if 2K didn't get hosed.

There is a big difference between desiring perfection (strongly) and expecting it.

I watch NFL football and realize how far off from the real game madden really is. There is so much to improve upon and sometimes I can get a little bit impatient.

With that in mind, I look at what the madden team has done in just a year and I have no choice but to be satisfied. I truly believe they put alot into this game and that it is a huge jump up from 09 IMO. And as consumers, I believe this is as much as we can expect within a years time.

as technology and game systems get better, the potential for a more realistic game goes way up. so not only do people expect all of the past issues to be fixed or upgraded, but they want more and more to be realistic. expectations are always never fulfilled due to a variety of factors - limited resources by the game / dev. company, $$$$ - the need for a sustainable product that will be bought by consumers in the future, the need to develop code and programming etc. etc. etc. games will never be perfect because people don't all have the same opinion of what perfect is. and not to be preachy or anything but there is also always going to be room for improvement or change as games, systems, and the sports change.

Hmmm, maybe we desire perfection because it is the only FB game in town???

Your not kidding it is not very good.

You have to ask yourself, with the love gamers have for FB do you really have to provide so called perfection or strive for greatness when when you are the only show in town?? You can fake it by showing major interest/advertisement. Gloss things over and re-sell.

Let's see what happens with Best Buy now that Circuit City is gone. (just a side thought)

This is definitely the reason for the elevated expectations of Madden.
