A true pinnacle in sports gaming...

[Ian_Cummings]

I just wanted to post over here in case the devs read this forum...

To the SCEA dev team: you guys have really set the bar as to what sports games should be. After a few of us got our hands on it, we have forced our entire Madden design team to go through the game, take notes, and come up with ideas that could apply to us - and the one universal happening has been that everyone has been 100% blown away by the detail and quality of the product. From the commentary to the animation to the graphics to the presentation to the depth...you guys knocked it out of the park (bad pun intended).

I don't want to make it look like our opinion matters more than anyone else or anything, but I did want to say - from the Madden design team - GREAT job to all those involved in making this year's game. You've set the bar extremely high for us and everyone else in this industry (which is a very good thing IMO).

Re: A true pinnacle in sports gaming...

Great to see something like this.

I really think MVP influenced THIS game and I don't see why that couldn't happen to Madden via The Show.

Wow, High praise from EA. Can't argue with that. All Dev teams could learn alot from the Show Dev team in every aspect especially community involvement.

Re: A true pinnacle in sports gaming...

Excellent post, Ian. I couldn't agree with you're more. Everyone at SCEA is to be commended for creating such an ********* game. This was my first time playing The Show and I've come away thoroughly impressed. This game along with MVP 05 has truly set the standard for what a quality baseball game should be. Great job SCEA.

Ian I really believe you guys can get there with Madden. If you follow the way SCEA did it and how they have all the little details. Madden will be very good and even better than it is now!!!! Good luck to all of you.
