Ian built me up with Madden 09 and let me down.....

[StonesRunIt]

I expected Madden to be an amazing game last year based upon some of the ambitious goals Ian set. I was let down when i got the game and saw that it was not the 2k5 killer i expected it to be.

However I was not upset. Not only did i find it to be the only playable current gen madden, i saw the groundwork being laid with that product. Madden 09 made bold strides and even with its very noticable flaws it was easily the closest representation of the NFL by an EA product since Madden 07 of the last gen.

I mention this because i feel those same expectations growing for Madden 10, but in this new era i dont fear them, because i know they aren't out of reach for too long.

Ian never said that Madden 09 was going to be the "2k5 killer". This year however, he is saying that for Madden 10.

David Ortiz left early in the development cycle.

David Ortis < Ian Cummings

(p.s seeing how i haven't been to school in ages i hope that means Ian is greater than...lol)

David Ortis < Ian Cummings

It should be David Ortiz < Phil Frazier. Ian Cummings is the lead designer, but Phil Frazier is the Senior Producer. Phil took David Ortiz's position after he left.

me as well.

As for the game itself, i thought it was MOLTEN LAVA Steeeamin HOT when it first cam out. then 3 weekswent by. thing just fizzled out faster than a chinese firecracker. Simply had no depth of immersion, and that cheesy futuristic futurama opening didn't help with that much either. Like a constant reminder that this is in no way shape or form football it's cyberball from the get go.

I don't think he said that, The closest thing he's said to that is that he wanted to never hear madden be compared to 2k again...Which in essence was saying his vision was for it to be that ("2k5 killer")

2005 was the year boy! but honestly,i was disappointed with Madden 09.I been playing 2k5 since october,and I'm a 2k5 fan,but I want Madden 10 to make me finally put 2k5 to rest.

It's nearly the same thing. His vision this year is for Madden 10 to be the "2k5 killer".
