Prioritize Madden's needs

His whole argument with TheWatcher was that OS was the majority. And OS is not the majority.

His poll can prove that a majority of OS 'cares' about offline franchise. But it still proves no point.

As large as OS is, it is not the definitive opinion of all those who play Madden.

Then I stand corrected...

It's not of any entertainment to me. I just dont understand why it's important to create this poll, again.

We all want an improved something. Arguing which is more important will never have a civil end.

It does matter what your presentation is, it doesn't matter what you franchise mode is if you gameplay is not there. So, um having core blocking and locomotion like major rewrites in those areas; I can't think of any better way spend out resources and time." Now we know what EA wants but what about their customers... Third year and gameplay may be where EA wants it? What about everything else? This is a THREE HEADED MONSTER GAMEPLAY PRESENTATION Your favorite mode (Offline Franchise, Online, or Superstar) Yes, gameplay needs to be good but it needs a good MODE of play to add to it otherwise there is little point unless you are playing in a tournament. We want a good franchise mode. Playing one game at a time just isn't fun without some depth. Even if gameplay was perfect and presentation much improved there still needs to be a point to playing more then a single game. There is a reason why preseason games have very little importance in the NFL. It is the seasons, playoffs, super bowl, and NFL history that matter. Taking away the depth of Offline Franchise is like taking away the depth the history of the NFL along with the meaning of a full season on the way to the Super Bowl. Without that it is just another game. I really thought EA got this point last year. For all the involvement I guess they weren't really listening.

I disagree. I would MUCH rather play one game at a time, and have absolutely amazing gameplay and presentation, then horrendous gameplay and presentation but amazing franchise mode. The majority of the time in franchise is still playing the game, so it needs to be the first priority. Why would someone want to spend so much time controlling their team, when they have no fun playing the game?

Why is it either or?

Game play with no purpose gets boring for a lot of people. Neither should suffer. EA/Tib has had plenty of time to get both down.

How about physics? That needs added in as Backbreaker has shown. I know it could be under gameplay but I think it's big enough to warrant its own category.

Why are you here then? Games that have those features exist.

Because he has just as much right to voice his opinion, as everyone else.
