I agree....but am baffled as to WHY he got so upset to begin with. I mean, maybe I missed some posts, but the mutitude I DID read were regarding the disappointment in the recent video, not personal attacks on Ian at all. And it isn't the first time he's threatened to stop coming here...I know of two other times he's made similar remarks.

I just don't understand what he expected people to say when they saw this video..were we supposed to LIE and say everything looked great when there were some glaring issues in the short video we were shown? Issues that we were TOLD had been fixed, btw.

MAYBE his frustration isn't REALLY with what people said, MAYBE it was about his own disappointment in how the game has turned out this year, especially after all the bold proclamations he's made since taking over last year. Maybe reality has sunk in for him that band-aids cannot cover the gaping wound that is Madden's gameplay.....just a thought.

Just like your concluding that the game is not going to be good, I'm concluding that it is going to be greatness. Same difference. We can agree to disagree at this point.

All of this from a two minute clip?

Would the newly re-added sliders fix many of the problems in the video. Like lower run block would fix the gaping holes, and lower pass block would help the pass rush, maybe forming more of a pocket? The speed slider could slow things down a bit. And if we globally lowered acceleration it might stop them from going lightning fast from a standstill. I think the tools to fix this stuff are provided.

Don't misunderstand me, I can't conclude yet whether the game is going to be good or not.....I DO have doubts, but will take a wait and see attitude.

I DID see some serious issues in the video (which concerns me because you would THINK they'd only want to show the good points)...however, my post was more in response to Ian getting pissed off and claiming he's taking a break from here until after release.

I have my doubts too, but watching and reading all the blogs, I don't see how anyone can say the game hasn't taken a big step in the right direction. Ian never said this would be a 1 year process. I think people who can't recognize that and give props are just haters. You don't have to buy the game or like it, but why waste your time with the negative comments that don't bring anything to the conversation but more fuel for the haters.

Also imo Madden has never been a game where you could see the difference in videos. I always had to play it to appreciate it. People invest way too much time and energy into analyzing these videos.
