The Joe Montana Football Issue

I understand but as a mature adult, if I don't like a post in the thread I just move along. I don't comment on it or waste any energy on nonsense. I'm very curious about this game but it's not life or death. It's just something to pass the time reading all of the speculation in the evenings for me.

I think it's safe to say JM16 is a real game that is coming out, it'd be really fun to discuss and debate it with everyone here especially bc we havnt seen another football game in like 8 years. I don't see the difference between a JM16 wish list thread and the madden 16 wish list thread. We know madden is coming out but its absolutely sure JM16 will be coming out also, just bc we don't know what consoles doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to speculate in my opinion.

Madden is a football game. We have no idea whether Joe Montana Football is really coming out, and if you can show me absolute confirmation (not a tweet, an actual development announcement) then I will be the first one to create the forum for it.

I don't mean any disrespect by this but come on. How many things from madden wish list have been implemented into the game? I feel wish lists are a way for us to express our inner dev and tell about ideas/mechanics we think would make a game better/more realistic.

Unfortunately, not everyone that frequents this site shares your patience and/or casual view.

Not that I got involved in the discussions, it was fun to come in and see people excited about the possibility of another game. The main issue I saw where the people coming in trying to argue to death that the Easter bunny doesn't exist. Let us be hyped for now because even though nothing has been 100% confirmed, there are real football game teasers being shown. We just don't know if it is a mobile game, console game, PC game or any concrete details. But there is a football game of SOME KIND being worked on.

I won't go over the list, but we've had users from this site hired by EA Sports and Tiburon based on their "wish lists" and work. We've also had users hired by 2K.

Can we have a thread dedicated to what we would like to see in a new football game? Not necessarily JM16 just a general discussion about what we would like to see in a new football game if one happened to come out.

That's the issue. There aren't teasers. There is concept art, and nothing is ever confirmed. This isn't the first or last time that art like this has been shown, faked, and/or developed but never released.

Remember the Joe Montana image with the 2K logo on it that @ThatSportsGamer posted, and the internet blew up thinking it was real? Same thing here. Until something has been confirmed, it isn't real to us anymore.
