But again, my point is that people like you (and pretty much everyone on this forum including myself) are in the minority. MOST people that buy Madden are not aware or do not notice the problems that are pointed out on this forum and think the game looks fantastic. Most people never put together that all the new videos and information being released does not show actual gameplay footage.

I mean...

Really?

I understand where JP is coming from because not too long ago (about 3 weeks ago) I was upset with what I was seeing to. However, you guys can't lie, that true step for the ball carrier is pretty sick. That is only one example of the realism they are striving for (I'll elaborate more on why I believe they are striving for it in a bit). Plus I have more of an understanding on why they couldn't just fix this past train wreck of a game in an instant.

Now about EA's intentions for the future. I listened to two interviews that really had me thinking. The interview on Gamme Changers Radio with Rex and the show after that from Last Tuesday. Sim even said that EA has some things in store for next year and the year after that will basically knock everyone's socks off. I don't ever recall that guy as one who blows smoke so I'm gonna listen to someone with those credentials (a guy who actually talks to the devs and has heard personally what is in store for the future).

Just watch what happens, it will speak for me. Bookmark this post

Your the one eating humble pie right now as you told us Madden 25 next gen was gonna be awesome, and that it would be way better than current gen. If Madden 15 bombs don't even bother talking Madden anymore.

We've never had former football guys be the leadership team for a football video game like this. These guys know football they don't have to know about Superstar or my player, they know the X's and O's of the game of football.

So correct me if I'm wrong so having played the sports means they can code, program, and create and authentic game ? Great games have not all been created by former people who have participated in that genre if so how do we explain the greatness of some of there's fiction games? It all comes down to game development talent. I don't think other developers are out there hiring former nba or MLB talent to create their game, they are simply acquiring a collective unit of good game development talent. These guys at EA may know the game and have a great vision for the game I believe that without doubt but they can't encode/ program the game to make it run. I think this Is where the disconnect comes In and why we see over promising and under delivering

If the OL/DL was the only thing built from the ground up... wouldn't interactions have no similarities to past games? I'm still seeing alot of the same issues. I don't buy that they are truly re-writing certain areas.

And unfortunately, they have laid many of "Foundations" in the past and in a year or two another foundation was laid. I still remember hearing about the "Extra Point" and how it would lay the "other" weekly show to rest. Then we got the game and no highlights. Thats ok, they told us, because we coded it where we can add highlights later (even as a patch). Next Year, no change at all. The year after gone....

Pro-Tak, Same story
Procedural Awareness, Same Story
QB Throwing Animations, Same Story

And it wouldnt be so bad if they didnt hype it up to be so great at E3
