    2k player that is converting!

    I have been a lifetime 2k football player but due to the contract I may have to convert to Madden. But I wouldn't do this unless I really saw the people at EA tryin to make a great football game. This year I see Ian and the staff doin that. I do have a short list of things that are inexcusable and should have been in the Madden series. And when I see this I will buy EA products.

    1. Presentation- Borrow from ESPN 2k5. Pre-game, Halftime, and Post game show. And a weekly wrap up with highlights from around the league. There is no excuse for a game made in 2005 to have this and a game in 2010 not. And loads of cutscenes to set up situations.

    2. Active sideline like APF 2k8. Players, coaches, cheerleaders, cameramen, photographers, sound men, security, chain gang, should scatter when the action comes to the sidelines. Not just the players box but all the way down the sideline. Pylons and yardage markers should also have a.i. and be able to be knocked over.

    3. Signature player styles- APF 2k8 nailed this. Players played like themselves. Quarterbacks had specific throwing styles, Barry ran like Barry and so on. Give the players specific strenghts like they do in real life. In 2k this system made you use players like they played. Christian Okoye had to be used between the tackles! Move to an abilities system.

    4. A. Weekly prep - You set the teams schedule and get results.
    B. Audibles for offense and defense. WR's, LB's, DB's, RB's with depth levels. EX: Wide receiver out route can be set to 5,10, or 15 yards. Rb's chip block ends.

    I SEE THE IMPROVEMENT! KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!

      For the 100th time, there will not be active sidelines.

      Everything else should be covered. Since it is inexcusable for no active sidelines, I guess you won't be buying eh..

        My favorite too. At this point you have to read the writing on the wall and buy Madden if they finally get serious about making a great game. I will be waiting. I like what I see with the gang tackling and wr & db interaction. But some of those things should of been correct by now. No excuse not to have fully integrated ESPN presentation in the game. Thats just flat out resting on your laurels.

          There will never ever be ESPN in an NFL endorsed product ever again.

            I will definately buy Madden if they improve the game like I think they are. The gang tackling looks outstanding. The active sidelines bring you knee deep into the atmosphere along with proper crowd reaction. But if I see a solid game I will buy it active sidelines or not.

              The ESPN presentation in 2k5 is still the best by far and probably wont be topped. But thats what happens when there is no competition in the market place. Evolution stauls!

                  Madden 10 looks pretty darned good, so I will probably buy it and play the heck out of it. I enjoyed 09, also.

                  However, I doubt I will ever stop playing NFL 2K5.

                        Well it is because the NFL has NFL Network now, so they will make any game company use NFL Network or they will lift the rights and find a company that will use NFL Network or like EA has..."original" "presentation"...

                            I understand that part but has anyone from EA actually said that is the reason, and that ESPN cant be used at all even if it was just logos and overlays used for Monday night games?

                              well no but I am pretty sure he means the bulk of it won't be ESPN like 2k5 it probably could be done for MNF but IDK...
