So why every time I fire up Madden am I seeing Ultimate Team in a game that I paid for? Why am I getting crushed with Verizon advertisements? I pay $100+ a month to that company, why do I have to hear about them in a game I paid honestly for? I really enjoy the primetime football overlay in the beginning of an afternoon game as well that seems to be overlooked.
EA stands for the almighty dollar and what we as customers can do for you, not what you can do for us. I want EA/Tiburon to work with us... the fans, the consumers. For every Ultimate team graphic/card you create, you could be updating a cyberface, the Panthers or Bears uniforms (Yes they are wrong ), or heck even a new solid idea into the game. NBA2K has a solid my player and tons of bells and whistles, they have all star weekend, we don't even get QB Challenges or anything extra. Take a look at NFL 2K with the game play you have now and build on it, that right there is the blueprint to the future, not some lame card game force fed to us inside the game we already paid for!
Yes I love this engine, I love the career gameface,THANK GOD EA trax are GONE! there are many improvements, but the game is just now hitting the level it should have been years ago, let's see NFL, let's see old school graphics on throwback weekends painted on the field, accurate uniforms for the ONLY NFL GAME. I was once told when you are too comfortable in your position with no worries then you need a challenge and aren't working hard enough, for us EA is working... Let's see more authenticity and an NFL experience in a video game!
I'm sorry, but what good are Barry Sanders and John Elway in a game where they aren't on their old school respective playing surfaces and field graphics from the early 90's? Think about it please. Authenticity would be a huge plus!
All this being said, I respect what's being done for us and yes there is an improvement in this game.
