Re: Madden's developers vs other developers (comparison)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...the Tiburon team just doesn't have the focus and direction to nail this game as we all want them to. They're too full of themselves to even SEE all of the problems, let alone fix them. They're just not even aware of all of the issues.

If you watch the videos they'll release, I can almost guarantee they'll be head to head games every time. Why? Either THAT is their only focus, or they do it because it hides some of the glaring flaws in the game.

I believe they are football fans (not fanatical, but casual) but they don't have a deep enough appreciation of the game, IMO, or they'd NEVER allow some of the ridiculous mistakes they make to go on the final product.

If it is none of the above, then it simply is a lack of talent. They've had SO many years to fix this, and I have lost any faith in what they say, so I really am skeptical that they'll have gameplay improved enough this year to justify not fixing franchise.

But then on the presentation side, I still wonder how we have so many bad camera shots when they have guys with NFL shooting credentials? I don't get it... I'd think that one part would be almost spot-on. Last I checked, some of the other football games that did these right didn't have anybody on staff with those credentials, and if they did you never heard about it...

... I just don't know anymore.
That's true. I don't play Madden as frequently as I used to, but every tiem I fire it up the phenomenal graphics do stand out. They really stepped up their game in that department.

Having watched the NHL series slowly be developed from 07-10, Madden is definitely on a different, lower, level.

IMHO Madden 06 and 07 never should of even got released. Especially 2006, that game was just horrid

The guy has first hand what we see on sunday, and i think he has done a great job with the graphics and overall visuals of the game.


I think madden makes the most strides in any sports game from year to year. I think they put in as much , if not more than any other sports game on the 360 or ps3.
I'm not gonna crack. But please do expound. The makers of games like The Show, Fifa, NHL and NBA2k might not agree with your assessment. Have you played those games? Please do share what I'm missing...

Re: Madden's developers vs other developers (comparison)

Madden 06-08 Were complete trash, irredeemable.

Madden 09 was the Year that Ortiz got canned, Ian took over and the game was better. It was still crap but it was def. a polished turd.

Madden 10 Was a very good game. It had its faults, but it was a major improvment over what we were used to.

It appears that Tiburon has this game on the righ track. For those that did not like Madden 10, Sucks to be you.

In light of your other post about your sig, I still have a question for you. Do you play a large amount of other sports games? Or are you pretty much basing your opinions off of Madden, alone? I can't see how you can't compare what they've told us about Madden and what to expect against even NCAA, it's closest thing to a direct competitor. There are all kinds of other sports games that are so far ahead, as well. Why are you taking pot shots at those of us who are saying that Madden team is not keeping pace, that we expect at least as much as NCAA is promising?

First... baseball is a very easy game to get right... the players have the least amount of interaction at any time. The NHL series could only get better from where it started . Nba2k10 was pretty much nba 2k9. I thought nba Live 10 made better strides this year personally. Fifa has done a great job, BUT, once again i will add. i think there is much more complex movements and interaction going on with football.

I think the Ortiz era set madden back a few years and if you compare what madden has added since then , it truly does compare to any other sports game
