Re: Does age play a roll in how well you enjoy Madden 13?
I definitely think it is.
Younger generations now are ... well to put it nicely... spoiled. We've become a very demanding society. Which makes sense really. If we fork out the kind of cash we do for these games, you want it to be worth it. However, everyone seems to have the opinion that it needs to be 100% perfect to THEIR needs. It has to be what they want, do what they want, look like they want it to, and if it doesn't, it sucks, they want their money back, and they want to file a class action lawsuit now it seems.
Hell, I remember playing Madden in the early 90's. I remember Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for sega. You want to talk jaggies? hahaha Your players were literally walking jaggies. Nobody complained then.
We're just all spoiled now. That's really the bottom line to me. Nobody can just enjoy it for what it is... a video game. An entertainment experience. If you aren't entertained, trade it in, sell it, or just... don't buy it. Rent it first. Don't complain about little tiny issues, because really, at the end of the day... nobody cares.
I find with myself, personally, I enjoy the game. I don't notice alot of the little flaws that people complain about until i come here and read about all the complaints. Some may say its because I'm a casual gamer, or I'm not "sim". However... I don't agree with that. It's neither of those. The fact of the matter is, im old enough, and mature enough (in my opinion lol) to realize that at the end of the day, its just a video game. If I wanted real football, I'd go out and play it. Or watch it on TV. Clearly when I'm playing Madden, or NHL, or Tiger Woods I want to be lazy, and sit on my couch with a beer and just... kill time by entertaining myself with a video game. There's two distinct worlds we're talking about here, one is the video game, the other is real life. Theyre only connected by doing one, in the other. That's it. The video game isnt real life. Madden isnt real life football. It's video game football. The sooner people realize that difference, and that it's never going to be 100% accurate in a video game, the better off everyone will be.
Sports are unpredictable, always. you can't script that into a game. However it seems that's what people want. It's definitely age based IMO. Nowadays, people expect it. Before we just enjoyed it for what its worth. Nobody in the younger generation IMO enjoys anything for what its worth. There's always something to complain about, something thats not good enough...
It's definitely
