It was 2k, the very 1st one with the complete player model intro.

I still have it, will post a video if you'd like.

also I like how people are claiming that consumer blogging and input doesn't matter because of the outcome of Madden 09.

Madden 09 was heads over hills better than 08. So obviously communication works.

To say 2ksports, doesn't care about their product is bogus too.

I think Simballer and the rest of the devs care about the game. I think the marketing division is just nonchalant and full of crap.

That is why Simballer and his peeps speak with us and have to defend the mistakes, the so called marketing division keeps making.

I think the game will come out good, but to be honest, the way the marketing team continues to hang the efforts. Its going to pull away a lot of fans and consumers.

Especially with the competition already releasing around 15 videos of gameplay and around 40 screenshots! Beginning like 4 months ago.

The marketing team will definitely hurt them this season. If they don't drop a demo by at least the 5 of September. Why drop one at all, especially with the game releasing Oct. 7.

Somewhere some how, priorities are jacked up at the 2k's camp. The devs are probably sitting around like, WTF!!!! Can these guys drop something and stop hiding in the dark. I mean honestly what can be so secret about this game, that they are with holding any kind of footage this late in the stages. 44 days from release and we continue to get nothing from them. But jacked up teasers, guys with small heads and dark light effects, washed out players who puffed they jaws with ugly layups, etc.

We are at the level where at least 10 gameplay videos should have been out by now. Around 2 gamespot on da spot interviews by now!

Something isn't right this year, and its showing in a big way.
