SERIOUSLY?

[Rocky]

Am I being too ridiculous? I've wanted two things that nearly EVERY OTHER SPORTS GAME HAS this year and Madden and once again they just don't get it.

You didn't have to touch franchise. Fine. I understand that you want to blow it out next year. But many of us have at least asked for the ability to change teams during franchise. C'mon man Tiburon. This is basic stuff that adds tons of replayability to the game. Seriously, WTF? Now if I build a powerhouse, I'm stuck unless I start a new franchise. The charm of NCAA Football is switching teams and taking doormats to powerhouses or getting that big time program you've always wanted to run.


And then in-game saves. MADDEN 2002 freakin' had this fellas. And it's Madden 11 and this is still not in the game. Is it incompetence? That's the only explanation I can give why this is not in the game. Now if something happens in the middle of my game, I can't just save it and resume it later. Again, other games have this but Madden doesn't.

So true, man. EA seems to have given up on the little things. They could take a list of things like this from OS and knock it all out in 1 months time and have the game be infinitely better.

Re: SERIOUSLY?

Well the way I see it if a ton of people thought the strategy pad was not a good idea and EA is patching the old contrls back in. Maybe if enough people complain about not been able to changes teams in franchise mode. Maybe EA will patch that aswell if they have enough people complaining about that.

You can change teams in franchise during the offseason in Madden 10

Re: SERIOUSLY?

There is simply no excuse for not having in game saves at this point.

Where, how, on what system, in what menu????????????

No offense intended, but prove it - give me the "walkthrough" for lack of a better term.

Re: SERIOUSLY?

I guess they did take it out then. It used to be there. Maybe Madden 09?

Re: SERIOUSLY?

I am to the age now where I may not have the time to play a full game. I am certain many other madden players [who, like myself, have been playing since Madden 92] don't have 40 minutes to play a game. We are no longer college students who have a bunch of free time, we are 30 something adults who have real jobs and families. This is ridiculous, there marketing or research dept should realize this.

Re: SERIOUSLY?

Those 2 things (in game saves and changing teams in mid-franchise) are two things I wanted this year as well. It is funny though when I was younger and had more free time, I could care less about these two things. I always could finish games and I played different franchises at one time. Now that I'm married and have a kid, these two additions would be huge for me.

I'm opposite of you, so we cancel each other out. I want in game saves and don't care about switching teams.

Re: SERIOUSLY?

Dude, I am right there with you. It wouldn't even be hard to program; the option is already there at the beginning of franchise, why can't they just add that option in the offseason?

So has it been confirmed that they didn't put it in Madden '11? This is very frustrating, and the sole reason I will not be buying Madden '11.

Re: SERIOUSLY?

At least in my opinion, in-game saves should be a given by this point in time.

EA, as well as every other game developer knows the gaming public is now made up of a wide range of ages. Including busy college students, and busy family men and women. The games feature wise, should be maturing right along with many of their customers.
