EA CEO John Riccitiello:



Just to throw that out there. Now how do you feel about Madden being better?

Interesting, just read a similar article off of Google news. Posted a new thread
in the NCAA forum. While the Dev's are working labouring to resolve NCAA 09,
this take from EA's CEO gives some perspective.

Guys come on. Of course investors don't care about the quality of the games. They invest to make money. Its really simple economics.

Qaulity and profit are not mutually exclusive.

Qaulity and profit are not mutually exclusive.

But when you throw in an Exclusive license they can be.

Eh, whatever.

There is no reason for me to have any belief that all of these features are going to work properly until I see for myself that they do.

With the atrocity that online dynasty is so far, why on earth would I possibly believe that online 32 man leagues is going to go off without a hitch?

Re: Why Madden Will Be Better Than NCAA

Every year I get hyped and am almost always let down. With both NCAA and Madden. Yet when July and August roll around I get hyped again (even when they both epically fail the previous year). Don't know why...

I think if Madden doesn't pull through this year I will give up on both.

You can't assume that any of the problems that have been found after the release of NCAA will be fixed in Madden. Madden supposedly went gold before the NCAA release, so if these issues are fixed in Madden it means that EA knew about the issues but just decided not to fix them in NCAA before release.

After NCAA, you also can't assume that any of the new Madden features will actually work.

I don't agree about the online leagues.

No way you could ever get an online league to finish with 32 user controlled teams.

Our Online dynasty is halfway done in week 3 and will be done by week 4 before the weekend is up, and we just started last Sunday.

It's easier to get games in when you don't have to meet up with someone for every game.

And you can't compare two seperate skus with two seperate dev teams. Most of the shared resources are things like front end menus and the such.

Another thing that dawned on me today and this goes back to the NCAA Devs Stepping Up write up with all the negative comments, does anyone truely think that if Take2/2ksports actually made half the effort with marketing and getting their dev members on here and other forums on a regular basis you'd see the same kind of attention paid to 2k that has recently been paid to EA? Think about it before going off on childish "OS is EA Bias" rants next time, because that certainly isn't the case.

You have to be a idiot to buy this game. Everyone thought that EA was changing by answering questions on message boards and such but just look at the crap game that is NCAA. I will wait to get madden if i even do. I cant wait to read the message boards when madden does hit.

Madden better be superior to NCAA, because in its current state NCAA is a disaster. On top of that, Madden should benefit from alot of free Beta testing and customer feedback on NCAA. So if things like kick coverage are ruined like in NCAA, its just inexcusable.

I don't know how much I will like the adaptive AI. It sounds a little suspicious. Oh, your not passing well against the Bears. Don't worry, they'll start playing like the NCAA defenses so you can complete 95% of your passes. Wait the AI is getting stuffed in the running game because you have a good gameplan. We'll fix that, there, now your linebackers run backwards at the snap and get suction blocked. That along with Mulligans sound like you could be in for a tour of the EA Cheese factory.

that's a good point. I don't remember if it was last year or 07 when all-madden was ridiculously hard but if it's like 09's heisman I'll probably just roll with that. If the cpu can't beat me thats its problem!

NEWSFLASH.......Madden is going to suck.......Why? Because people are going to b lined up to buy it, even with the glitches and garbage that was Madden 08 and NCAA 09. So there you go same ole EA.

If that's the case then shame on me. I hope you are wrong, but certainly don't blame you for feeling that way.

You either have to be a masocist or just have money to burn if you buy this on day 1. It might turn out to be a very good game, but only if the developers patch the glaring problems that all of you are going to QC for them for free.

Not only does EA steal your money, but they make you work for free too. You all might as well be building the Bridge on The River Qwai. Just make sure you whistle while you sit there trying to find out if all the sliders work and if the defenders can actually run to stheir speed rating.
