    Taking Things To Far

    I have been reading posts on this forum for some time now and It really is starting to look as if some of you are taking thing's a little bit to far. How can some people already be going as far as to say they won't be buying the game after seeing last night's clip, it is the first video Madden NFL 10 has shown yet, there is still so much more to come! It's very frustrating to read the forum when 90% of the posts you guys make are just complaints, no video game, not Madden, not 2K can implement all the things you guys want in the time they have, so instead of crying about what you want take a look at what they have put in there. It definitely looks like the blocking has improved, and the new gang tackle animations are amazing, and remember, that is just the first video, there is still so much more to come!

      Re: Taking Things To Far

      What disappoints me about the reactions to the trailer, is that the trailer really did seem to show off some huge improvements to key facets that affect the realism factor of the game. Each shot was strategically selected (clearly) to demonstrate something new this year that hasn't been there before, at least not in this gen.

      It may have lacked the "one amazing improvement", but doesn't it seem like a lot of these little things when taken together will greatly improve the quality of the football itself?

      Wouldn't structural issues being fixed be the top priority for most people here? I will admit, I'm not a hugely hardcore Madden player anymore (although I still buy almost every year), so maybe I'm missing the boat here.

        That's what people are failing to realize, the Madden Team does not want to show off that one amazing improvement yet. If you go to the Madden NFL 10 Website they haven't even released the games new features, so other then some cool gang tackles and referee's how much more can you really expect?

          WOW HUH?????

          -Did they not show 4-5 man gang tackles that EVERYONE SCREAMED FOR for the past 7 years?

          -Did they not show improved OL/DL interaction that EVERYONE SCREAMED FOR for the past 7 years?

          - Did they not add fight for the fumble which is NEW TO FOOTBALL VIDEOGAMING

          I hate when people say they didn't see anything new in the video because clearly they are blind or just in denial that EA/tiburon are actually trying this year.

            Re: Taking Things To Far

            i agree with djordan. i just watched the clip again. the first time i saw it, it was a bit overwhelming taking in all that information at first, but looking at it a second time i can see alot of the positive changes that have been asked for.

            the animations do look a bit mechanical though. and is it just me or does darnell docket look a little too stocky?
            this band is pretty cool. u should check them out: http://www.myspace.com/revolutionofthedead

              Seems to me like some people were just hoping the game didn't look great, when it didn't look how they wanted it their wishes came true and it really gave them the fuel they needed.

              I knew this would happen though. Some people just want this game to be NFL 2K10. Anything less is a disappointment.

                  No offense, dude...but you've only got 3 posts, and you're already complaining about other people's posts? Personally, I think complaining leads to a better game. Maybe if there had been more complaints the last couple of years, we wouldn't be in the position that we're in. Just my opinion.

                    Who cares if some people don't like it? The worst thing that could happen would be for a feedback thread to be full of "great jobs" and "omgs". The negative nancys are the only competition the Madden dev team has left. Let them do their thing.

                      seriously, Ian wants us to pick this stuff apart. Sure the way we do it has to be respectful but hammering them on everything will only make the final game better

                        You and I both know that those complaints fell on deaf ears until Ian and company arrived.

                          The key is respectful constructive criticism. Unfortunately, that didn't go down last evening or early this morning. There was a lot of , Oh, that is a 09 trailer, hahahahaha.

                          That schtick get's old and tiring.

                          There were also a few good constructive post.

                            From someone who complained for years about Mario Running, the lack of a QB pocket, suction blocking, etc., I'll definitely agree with you there, roadman.

                              I notice most of the people like this have 2009 after their OS join date. It seems a lot of the "new guys" don't understand how this process works or are just totally impatient. In June/ July, we'll see a more finished product and then they can make a knowledgeable decision on whether they want to spend their money on the game or not.
