Re: IGN.....Hands on


Ok gents lets all take a deep breath and exhale, its all over! We all have to understand this is a process and like all things it will take time and patience, we are in a very unique situation being in the information age.

Like I have said many times before we have an opportunity to see a game developed from beginning to end, gentlemen I promise the information we are receiving is real time just like if you were assisting with development.

What this means for us is, we can't ride the emotional roller coaster HI, LOW, HI, LOW. When we all create rosters or sliders we begin with a foundation, then you create a formula, next you test it, if its not quite rite you tweak it. We have come to far with to much optimism to crash and burn at the tweak stage. Now is time to take constructive criticism and turn it into action, give some supportive direction of hope.

What the team is building is a game for us, not a game for COLUMNIST; he played it on pro that alone tells me he is not a true fan of competition. We play football games to compete, my little nephew plays & just wants to have fun; Ian and the boys have a very difficult job.
Take the most popular football game in the world & please every person who plays it? Good luck, we are the informed minority; gamers who understand the process to achieve greatness. We have been there before we will be there again!

Playing Madden since 1990, I'm in to deep to turn back now!

People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Thanks EA crew for all your hard work, KUDOS!

Re: IGN.....Hands on

same worries about the pocket, however EA made pocket as a point emphasis to fix, and they still got a couple months, so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I will be renting before i buy this year though.

In addition to the pocket being fixed they really need to do something about running back with the QB and chucking it 40 yds down the field... let's hope this gets tuned down before the game ships

Re: IGN.....Hands on

The part of the article that talked about presentation was the best news iv heard in a while. Seeing the QB walk to the sidelines and pick up a phone to talk to the coordinators is awesome, awesome, awesome news. I mean if thats in, what else are we gonna see? Its small things like that, that made NFL 2K5 so immersive. Believe it folks, i think im excited for Madden! Cant believe im saying that but its the truth.

Re: IGN.....Hands on

That clip is clearly using some edited rosters or on Rookie mode. I know that's impossible to do on All Pro/All Madden. Not saying the run-and-chuck isn't still there but there's absolutely no way you can run back and get it that far on All Madden.

I never understand why everyone gets worked up over an IGN or Gamespot preview.
These are the same guys giving games like Madden 06 on the 360 an 8.0.
Why should their previews have any credibility?

Re: IGN.....Hands on

They even added hot dog dudes for the pre game. There is obviously a lot being added that we are completely unaware of .

Just like the EA devs can be improved/change, so can IGN reviewers . Nate has some semblance of football knowledge.

Dave, can you comment at all on how the framerate looked at CD? The IGN article talks about a myriad of framerate hiccups, which has me somewhat worried at this late stage of development.

I'm glad people are starting to see and read about the improvements we saw first hand. Too early to say what the reaction will be in August, but at least you know we weren't blowing smoke up your arses for the past month .

I'm just glad you mentioned that Rodgers had his throwing animation . Glad to finally hear some news about something Pack related...

Re: IGN.....Hands on

I don't know if anyone saw this and I really don't feel like reading through 9 pages but here is a little bit about presentation.

Presentation, something that was seriously lacking in the first Madden iterations on current-gen systems, has seen a nice overhaul. Pre-game you'll notice camera angles that show concession stands handing hot dogs to fans and people making their way to their seats. During the action there will be detailed cutscenes (not the low-resolution models like in last year's game) showing players warming up on the sideline. If your quarterback is taking a licking on the field you'll see him trot over to the sideline and pick up a phone to talk to the coach's box. The chain gang is also present, as are all of the refs that should be on the field. And yes, you can truck into them. It sounds like the presentation has been greatly upgraded.

Ian, if you ever are looking to talk Giants football and just about anything else, head over to BigBlueInteractive.com
