    Re: Madden 09: Madden Mondays, Brought to You by GameStop

    A neat little addition for this year's game, but this feature alone won't turn my opinion around on next-gen Madden.

    Hopefully you can punt the ball into the stands like in one of the old NCAA Football games, lol.

      Ehhh.

      More substance, EA. Please. Until the QB pocket, player interaction, animations & AI are up to par, I can't get excited about these perpheral features.
      Shout out to The Watcher! Where you at bruh?

        Time for EA to prove to the community that will be the best one ever and meet expectations, because you can only say it so many times and not prove it to the community majority wise.
        I don't how many times you've guys have said it, but I've said it a few times and have yet to be let down.

              I take it you are talking about franchise games?

                Celebrations is a fluff feature, which is fine IF they deliver on QA and depth.

                  I certainly hope that they are Nike. It was ******** for every player to wear Reebok... pure laziness! It only makes for Nike to be included considering the commerial that came out toward the end of the '07 season which used the Madden '08 engine. Also, toward the middle to end of the season, Nike was making NFL gloves. I actually bought a pair to workout in two weeks ago!!!

                    Did EA hire new programmers? That's the only way that it would possible to get what you are thinking.... IMO of course.
                    Sorry to sound bitter but Madden hasn't been nothing but a black spot on next gen gaming and I see nothing yet that says this year will be any different. Will they deliver? I freaking hope so. Counting on it? Not even remotely.

                        So EA should just not bring any features ESPN had 4 years ago then? Jeesh, you guys find a way to criticize either way. If they don't bring in features a previous game had then you're furious. If they do bring it in then you're mocking them.

                          thats the way it is these days man. EA could do everything exactly like 2k5 and it still wouldn't be right because the cover still says EA.

                            If they did everything exactly like 2K5 they'd deserve to be criticized - 2K5 was four years ago. From my understanding, both FIFA and NHL '08 have taken their respective genres beyond what came before it, even though those titles had their own rough years in next gen. Yet now they're celebrated. That's the reason EA doesn't deserve a lot of credit for adding last gen features. People want them to go beyond what's already been done, not take years to implement what 2K5 and Madden did last generation. The problem is the game has been so bad that for some of you the only bar Tiburon has to meet is to simply make a competent game.

                              Yup that's the rub. If they don't have the last gen features, people complain, and if they implement them people complain. It's a no win situation. But it makes it easier for certain individuals to push their little agenda's and blind company loyalties.

                              It's certainly become the popular trend to pile on to EA at any given chance. Which is unfortunate. While I have not been a big fan of Madden the last couple of years, I'll actually wait until I get some quality time with the game, before passing judgement.

                                then why did I hear last year that Madden was terrible because they didn't have LG features? And people said they wanted LG features in the game. And now they add them, and its still not good enough? And why do I hear that Madden should implement this and that, that was done by 2k? As I said before, EA is in a no win situation.

                                And I agree that its disappointing that Madden has lacked these features and the atmosphere on CG that it had LG. With that said, you have to crawl before you walk. Maybe they are taking to scenic route to get to where many of us want the game to be, but at least they are making the trip.

                                Now, I'll sit back and await your next, but certainly not last, anti-EA/Tiburon/Madden post and for you to tell me how silly I am to be happy with the product that EA is delivering. Go ahead, post away, I'll wait.
