[EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

Re: [EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

We aren’t about gimmicks; we aren’t about fluff; we aren’t about catering to glitchers or cheaters. We’re focused on emulating what you as an NFL fan are used to seeing on TV, and what many of you players and coaches have seen on the field.

I wish I could come up with some very quotable statement...but all I can think of is WOW!...you have been listening.

Myself and I'm sure countless others were well on our way to losing all hope that the PS3/360 era would provide the type of "Next gen" football game we were hoping we'd eventually get. Although yes...seeing is believing, but at least I can feel confident that the Lead Designer and his team actually "get it."...is a most important first step.

It's great to have a reason for hope that the Madden franchise may once again be the "Flagship sports game", for reasons other than merely sales figures. I feel safe in saying that with the team thats been assembled, and the gauntlet being thrown down if you will, that however Madden '10' turns out...I can feel confident that the Madden team did their best. Thats all anyone can ask.

What is freaking going on here...do I sense Passion from this team???? I need to reboot and see if this is really on this website....fingers double crossed.....gameplay and presentation!

Madden NFL 10? Is the edginess over "Madden NFL 2010" really worth the confusion it will cause from people thinking it's the 10th game?

Aside from that, everything sounds great. I enjoy it when companies work directly with the people upon whom their livelihood is so dependent. I look forward to seeing what you guys have to say. (although this mission statement seems a lot like previous ones).

Hey Josh! Can we get the Playoff logos on the field in the playoffs? You know, like Wild Card, Divisional, Conference Championship. I want to see crowd interaction, big time! The newspaper articles in Franchise Mode. Concession sales. The same sounds in stadiums in the game? I want to hear those horns and fans yelling, "Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!" I want the legit Vikings horn when they get first downs, not some lame one.

Cut down on Tom Hammond's constant plugging of EA Sports. We know who made the game! Finally, for the love of God, MAKE A REALLY GOOD SUPER BOWL CELEBRATION! The one that you see on TV with Roger Goodell presenting the trophy to the team and confetti spraying. The guys with shirts and hats on at the podium. This is true next-gen. Make it happen! PLEASE!!! Just look at NFL 2K5 and it will help you guys out. If you do this, it will be the first Madden I've purchased since 2006.

Well, I'll buy it when it's $35 on half or eBay. I'll never spend more than that on any game!

Re: [EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

And revamped Franchise... lol

[swiftychampleone]

By the way, on top of my wishes. I've heard this same ol' act for 5 years now. So I'll believe when I see it. I refuse to stay hope or positive about this game...

I totally understand where you are coming from. Keep in mind though, this is a whole new team making Madden 10.

Yeah as far as the superbowl thing goes you could have the winning team come rushing out to the field from the side lines. Then the trophy presentaion. Then maybe some shots from inside the locker room with a big party...

Re: [EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

Oh Ian.... I really really hope you mean what you say in that post. I really do. It's just that the Madden series has been saying these things for a decade and every year we're disappointed. The game has bugs, glitches, features missing or removed, uniforms don't look right, clunky interfaces, lack of customization. The game is rushed out and has to be fixed with patches, and then a DLC with stuff that was supposed to be in there from the very beginning gets canceled. "It's ok just give us ANOTHER $60 next year and all your problems will be solved." And even then they never are. Every year EA cries wolf and like the proverbial townsfolk we come running. So those are great words to hear, I just hope EA can actually back them up this year. I'm cautiously optimistic about Madden 10, but I gotta see a reason to believe you first.

Re: [EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

Thanks buddy!

Honestly...I appreciate the kind words and I'm excited about the opportunity.

Working with Donny, Ian and Phil Frazier is going to be great.

Trust me...we will get Franchise Mode back to where it needs to be. I'm making it my personal mission from now on.

Glad to join the family!

Great to hear. Franchise Mode has been neglected far too much this generation. We your guys success on NFL Head Coach, I look forward to how you make this baby (which stage it's in right now) grow.

Gotta have the obligatory Gatorade bath too....just a lot that could be done cut-scene and animation wise to the presentation to add a ton.

Re: [EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

I think we need to see some animations up to par with the 2K football titles, especially with the quarterback. I can't stand how stiff the QB's in Madden hold the ball and how the move around the pocket, I think All Pro Football 2K8 had excellent QB animations and excellent animations in general.

Also being able to have more control over throwing the ball (i.e. putting touch on the ball, passing over the secondary, etc)

By the way, is the Wishlist Sub-Forum still the place Ian & Company are officially looking?

Although I don't know where they are looking officially, I'd bet that's where they are going for ideas...but threads like this they probably see your suggestions as well.
