Madden 10 Shows Strength in September

[RogueHominid]

I, for one, want profit to follow this Madden so that there will be no economic disincentive to continue the work that Ian and company are doing. M10 was a HUGE leap in terms of game philosophy and on-field product, and I don't want anything in the way of another such leap for '11. So the more sales the better!

I'm not one of these "EA is the Devil" people.

I can understand that; however, the whip has to crack from somewhere.

It would be better if the team could put a patch to replace collinsworth as a commentator. If that happens, my 59.99 is all worth it. ^_^

I love Collinsworth though. Get rid of Hammond!

Madden should rebound, with the economy rebounding.

It seems as if Madden 10 is the beginning of some real next-gen football gaming. The Afl legacy I downloaded for free was really sweet.
I had no idea what Afl game presentation was until I finally played a game w/ it.
I want the online franchise to really take a leap in M11. How about online franchise co-op. That just seems like a sure hit imo.

Anyway for those that think EA is slipping , sorry but thats just not happening, especially w/ the console price drops.
Just take a look at EA's lineup of games now. From Fifa, to boxing, to Football, etc. etc. They are really doing some positive things for the sports world.
I'm not a stockholder in EA but w/ me owning quite of few of these sports games its good to see some positive news around these boards here.

Should we have to wait 3 months after release for patches to resolve significant issues?

Uh, no.

Not really surprised. I for one dont care about football until the season starts. So I always wait. The other issue is patches. Allot of people are waiting until the patches to come out before they buy it.

I know they can get better and they have all the tools to do so.

This years Madden seems to be living up to the hype, which is a pleasant surprise.
The EA/Madden flamers will always be lurking, like a common cold.
But belive me, they have never kept me from enjoying a good football game when I see one.
