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.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

I cannot believ I just read this. Don't get me wrong I do not hate the game I play it, but when you have to spend hours messing with sliders, that don't work, hold back during game play to keep it some what realistic (special teams), and hope your dynasty doesnt crash, its a little rediculous. 3 years these games have been on next gen and most of the features that made them good on ps2 and xbox are left out of the game. It is like some people have come to expect a $60 peice of crap and are starting to like it. Well I am from the old school and I will never accept these dumbed down games.People that are complaining about NCAA will hate Madden as well. Because they are impossible to please. The problem isn't the game....its they're expectations.
NCAA is fine, and the roster bug is being patched right now. I'll hate to see the chaos if Madden has a bug, which could very well happen.Comment

Re: Why Madden Will Be Better Than NCAA
Aren't most "old school" games pretty much dumbed down?I cannot believ I just read this. Don't get me wrong I do not hate the game I play it, but when you have to spend hours messing with sliders, that don't work, hold back during game play to keep it some what realistic (special teams), and hope your dynasty doesnt crash, its a little rediculous. 3 years these games have been on next gen and most of the features that made them good on ps2 and xbox are left out of the game. It is like some people have come to expect a $60 peice of crap and are starting to like it. Well I am from the old school and I will never accept these dumbed down games.
lol...sorry, that comment just tickled me for some reason. I personally can't take the majority of the comments in threads like these too seriously. Anyone who has such a dramatic reaction to something they haven't experienced for themselves yet is obviously not going to view the game from a balanced or reasonable perspective...and I'm not speaking of just the negative reactions
I think the game looks much improved and will definitely check it out...courtesy of blockbuster. If it's not, I'll move on...bigger things in life, IMO.

Re: Why Madden Will Be Better Than NCAA
I'll buy Madden 09 this year, therefore I am a pawn of Ea and have an iq of 12.
I am enjoyin ncaa which is frowned upon by the vocal minority of this community.Comment

Re: Why Madden Will Be Better Than NCAA
...I agree though. It's like Spank always says: people often lower their expectations to meet whatever Madden is going to be that year.
Let me say that there's nothing wrong w/ liking Madden in its current state. But it's mind boggling that gamers within this sim community can still look the other way in spite of the continued absence of the fundamental aspects of football in Madden.Comment

Re: Why Madden Will Be Better Than NCAA
I find it funny reading some of the posts in the ncaa section about how they hate ncaa and go into detail about the glitches and bugs, then at the end of their post they say "at least I have Madden to look forward to"
Now if Madden was made by 2k or a different company then I would agree that it would be something to look forward to.
However because it's also an ea game with much the same history as ncaa concerning bugs and glitches then using that history and this years ncaa means Madden will have a very good chance of failing to deliver.
The only question is what is going to be the letdown, the new adaptive ai that lets the cpu run better when you are shutting them down is what I would bet on. It sounds good in theory but again using ea's history this is exactly the feature that will be over the top (but be better next year).Comment

What I do not understand, is how anyone can feel confident that the 2 major features that are coming to Madden this year: Dynamic AI, and Online Leagues are going to be implemented any more smoothly then the "wide open gameplay" and online dynasty aspects of NCAA 09?
The game comes out in 3 weeks, and has probably been finished for about a month.
What we are going to be seeing/hearing in previews, is going to be what we are getting.
I hope it works. Will it? I have absolutely no idea, and there is no reason for me to be optimistic until the game arrives.
I'm going to be skeptical until the product gives me reason not to be, due to its track record.Comment
