Yes, because 2k struggled mightily with this when they were still in the NFL game, on lesser powered consoles.


Can we finally admit EA's out of excuses?

I am constantly changing sliders in madden to make it play true to life. It is still herky jerky at times and the the game still has too many madden moments. I feel Nba plays true to the real game, where madden falls a little flat in some areas. I still enjoy madden , but now that i see the upside from nba 2k series in one year, there is no excuses anymore. not trying to bash EA, but your kind of being outshined.

my advice for the EA team would be to take a look at nba and try to put that much effort into the installment of madden 12.

Don't hold your breathe. Ian Cummings himself wrote a post in the "MLB THe Show" forums praising that game and its developers, saying how they "raised the bar" of sports gaming, yet that did nothing to help him (Ian) or the Madden team.

Re: madden should take notes from nba 2k11

Why compare an NBA game to an NFL game when there are other older NFL games that are still better then Madden 11?

NBA 2k11 is awesome and I think it is good for 2k to get such good reviews for the game because maybe the NFL will see what this company can do.

Thats true but its no excuse for presentation which can bring the game alive more. Just look at NFL 2K5.

The gameplay wasn't over the top on that game either. Same sport.

i agree 2k made a great game and had by far the best animations and presentation but i think where they countered was to let the field not look as good aslo the players wasnt a big fan of the flat chest/stomach players running straight up all the time but would love to see them back in the NFL game

I think that not only is EA out of excuses, but people should stop making them. lol

They need to open up the license for 2K and others to show just how difficult it is to have 22 players simulating their sport...Not difficult at all.

Ive had bad opinions of the developers for awhile, however Im begininning to change my outlook, I think the developers are severely handcuffed by the bottom line, I think thier creativity cannot shine through because of various reasons that have to do with the NFL and the bottom line, corporate snobs who dont give a **** about games, just how much money it makes them, its kind of obvious.

I don't think the development team is handcuffed when it comes to lack of consecutive hit tackles or getting franchise mode to make some sort of overhaul.
