    i dont understand why they dont talk about the glitches from last year like:
    1. edit a player and they wont progress - this isssue is huge and took away the fun of editing players and drafting rookies.
    2. freezing 1-5 games even with the updates
    3. disappearing free agents

      to arsenio, these games have deadlines. some things are prioritized, and the addition of patches has made it simple for devs to focus on other parts of the game with the hope that they can essentially finish the game later. it will provide us with higher quality games.
      Was that the case with NCAA? or MLB2K?? I dont think it was. These games come out too early. Months before either season starts. ANd in other genres companies have no problems delaying games. Your explanation is moot IMO.

        Would you prefer that NCAA and Madden came out at the same time?

        From a business point of view, that's just not going to happen.

          No. I dont think i hinted at that at all in my post....

          I would like them to come out when they are thoroughly tested, finished games. I think if they just waited til the weekends of the opening day of the season this would happen to a certain degree.

            I think the game looks sick! I can't wait for this game and NHL 09. It should be a good year.

              No matter what they do to this game, if they don't fix the horrible fumble rate and interceptions from last year then it's all a moot point. I've bought Madden day 1 every year since it came out and I will not be buying it this year until I hear if those issues have been fixed.

                They just need to higher more people. If they double their staff, Madden would be superb quality every year. Hell, even if they merely added a few special testers/supervisors (i.e. people paid to evaluate alt. uniforms, playbooks, etc) they'd improve the game greatly.

                but... that won't happen till Jesus comes back...

                  But wait, it would always be a year regardless. If Madden comes out week 1 of the regular season this year, are you proposing it come out in week 6 for 2010? If not, the development cycle is still going to be 1 year, so why does it matter if it comes out in August or September?

                  Unless you're proposing the series move to a sequel format like Winning Eleven, your proposal offers zero resolution. If we want a yearly game, this is how it is.

                    However, a larger staff may help with these issues...

                      How bout this... RELEASE THE GAME WHEN IT IS THOROUGHLY TESTED AND FINISHED.

                      Ncaa was not ...CLEARLY. Who in the hell says the game has to come out on the same day every year. JUST release the game when it is DONE. Whether it be the first week of august or the last week in January.

                      So if they took the time one year to fix things like you see in NCAA, this SHOULD shorten the develop time next cycle. But even if it didn't DONT RELEASE THE GAME UNTIL IT IS FINISHED.

                        I believe they have a "deadline" from the NFL as to when the game is supposed to be released. Not 100% sure, but seems as though I have read/seen that a few times before.
                        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                          No matter how good madden is people will complain. some people will love it. some people will be lookin for stuff wrong with it. and they def. gonna look for something to exploit. What people got to understand is its a game. it will not be perfect. if you dont like what you see or hear about it dont buy it. its that simple. People like myself are still gonna buy it. AND PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT AP2k8 because is not that good. that game is wack. (IMO)
                          Yes I do own a PS3 and a 360. and yes my 360 get the most burn from me.

                                Sorry I don't see why the nfl or any other sports league would set a deadline on a video game's release. Especially when its released even before final cuts are made on the teams. Makes no sense in my opinion. I don't see any mention of that ANYWHERE on the internet either. EA paid for the licensing then the NFL in turn tells EA when it has to release the game?
