Reasons to Hate the Madden Mulligan Feature

[tackle74]

Actually I have not yet bought Madden for my 360, I rent it each year and almost get sick. I have already switched to NCAA this year and think the game much superior and just more fun. When or if EA returns Madden to at least the level of last Gen they are not getting my $120, just $60 for NCAA.

Normally, I would agree with you. I've always believed history is a good predictor of the future.

For some reason, a gut feeling, I feel that Ian is answering more questions this year and not just on EA's board.

I think he's trying to reach out more to the sim crowd.

Just my opinion, though.

Im sure he is. Sales were down last year, and him, and a lot of EA people, are out there trying to sell this product. And like any sales-men theyre going to tell you, true or not, what you want to hear.

I agree.

And it's up to the consumer to sift through the information and decide if it goes on the good pile or the other piles dodo "list"

Again, just a gut, I don't think Ian is coming off too salesy, if that's a word. He is explaining why features were on put on the cutting room floor. It up to us whether to believe him or not.

Re: Reasons to Hate the Madden Mulligan Feature

I'm right there w/ this article...I hate that development time was ...

(1) used on this stupid "feature"

(2) used on this stupid "feature" which I will never use.

Just like the ring builder it's another dumb addition to this cheesy, arcade-fest, casual-gamer-catered-to, Madden game.

Take that EA...turd nuggets.

Will my team have the least amount of penalties in the league yet again this year? If yes then I hate that they put this in.

Will wind affect my FG kicks or will the only chance I have of missing a FG be short yet again this year? If yes I hate that they put this in.

Are there in-game save? We already know the answer is no thus I hate that they put this in the game.

Will weather affect gameplay this year or will it be the same with just a white field or an accumulating lake?

There is a reason to hate this feature regardless if you can turn it off or not. EA fails to address things that have been requested for years but adds goofy stuff like this. They are very fortunate they locked up that exclusive license.

Re: Reasons to Hate the Madden Mulligan Feature

i could see the whole "theyre not concentrating on more important things" argument if the game was actually out and we physically saw the things that were omitted ...

Ive always wondered this....but i never asked b\c the Madden forum is 10 times worse than the Pro Basketball forum supposedley is...lol

does Madden say the games a simulation like the "other game" does w\ thier products?...if not, why would you expect the game NOT to be geared toward the casual gamer?

Re: Reasons to Hate the Madden Mulligan Feature

Look like the rest of you here I think this feature is unnecessary but I can see why some people might like it. I think all the bashing on EA for this is kind of comical and over the top honestly.

[King Gro23]

the feature is disabled online and I personally think you have to be about drunk to put this in here but thank god you can turn it off

Heh, as I said in another thread, this will be a great feature to use when I'm all tanked up on gin.
