I'd also hope that with regards to accessories it's not limited to shooting sleeves and mouth guards alone, because multi colour cleats, new cleats such as Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Andre Johnson etc. need to be in there as well as new sleeve types. There is a fantastic thread called 'next gen accessories wants' which actually provides visual support to requests so the effect of the accessories for immersion are easier understood, and that clarity of request is easier understood.

Thanks for clarifying infamous. I've seen the thread and it is great, as a fan of football I want all of those things.

No problem, hope we can see them in next gen madden!
How likely is it to see it this year and how many of those things have already been included?

We have some more information coming out over the course of the next 4 weeks. We will have some more Q&A with dev to answer as many questions everyone may have.

Thanks for the response though.

Yeah except for the fact we have been asking for this since Madden 06...

Thank you for the response, it is greatly appreciated. I think the majority of people here value feedback directly from EA, I hope you guys continue to visit and answer more questions in the future.

Thank you for the feedbook Emmdot, it's appreciated.

It just feels that OS has been somehow slighted this year with hardly any GCers checking in or reps from EA.

Not sure if that's because of past reputation of high signal noises from here, etc.....

Some people don't have a chance to check on Twitter on a daily basis or wherever the new next info is coming from.

Not a reflection on you personally Emmdot, but your company.

Let me ask you this.

What does your company put at a high priority?

I know this site and other sites have put penalties and animations high on the priority list working correctly for several years and they still aren't working.

So, that leads me to believe that the communities priorities are not the priorities of the company.

Frankly, that is probably why the signal noise appears to be higher over here. There's is a definite disconnect.

I've been one of the staunchest defenders of Madden because I've been playing this game since some of the posters were in diapers and before; however, Madden is starting to lose me because I see areas of the game that continually to be ignored over a console generation, and if they aren't continually ignored, they are putting new ideas in and new ideas out in less than two years.

There needs to be better continuity in leadership and employees and strive to make this the best NFL football game ever or how are they going to keep long time consumers such as myself.

If I had to make a decision today to purchase NG Madden, I would skip out on it based on what I've seen so far.

Thanks for listening, back to my meds. LT, help.

Roadman - Community is definitely a priority at EA. Just remember that OS isn't the only community. The majority of Game Changers have websites of their own.

I try to visit as often as possible, but I think the past couple of days show why some members decide to stay away from the forum.
