Im not saying I don't like it but its going to take 2-3 installments to get it seamless. Typically EA has not kept things like this around long enough to provide that. Defiantly cool and slick the first time seeing it, but what about the 50th will it still come off fresh and "off the cuff", or will it be repetitive and stale?

Again, Again and Again...not totally directing this to you bro but lets not forget the SUDDEN turnaround over 1 year with the madden game....the changes made during the first three years on current gen madden combined dont match the changes made during this last off season with the new madden dev team. Yes i know Ian was already there but he's now the shot caller unlike before and its quite obvious someone's taking madden in a new direction..with a bit more hustle as well

I dont know how many times i try to bring this up to the people that seem to have this everlasting nasty taste in their mouth with madden but give them their chance, give them their shot. Look at this way Rmoody...if you were given the job at lead designer of madden..and you busted your butt day and nite to try and turn around madden as best you could but yet couldnt fix or change everything due to an already dodgy engine or time constraints that prevented you from revamping certain logic aspects,etc and what not...wouldnt you still want to see some smiles on people's faces for the hard work you put in and the damn good job of improving the game over 1 year compared to the previous 3 years combined? I sure would..infact any hard working pationate game designer would..

My point is..even though we all been shafted year and year with recent maddens << (your not the only one).. im giving this new dev team their fair shot at turning this series around. Im not expecting near-perfection after 1 year... Just like our president was left with a mess..so was Ian..i think he's done a stand up job with only 1 year under his belt and i must also give credit to the other dev's working around him that are not well known to us..they all put in work and it sure is being appreciated by many of us..and rightfully so.

I tell you what, Madden 2010..which i havent played yet..will feel like a totally different game from start to finish..mark my words, i know this because i know what it takes to make a fun game of football and M10 is there now....maybe its still riddled with some quirky AI Logic here and there..but its a videogame after all.. what it "really" boils down to is having fun and excitment with the game not putting it under the microscope or under heavy interrogation with extreme prejudice because then you start to lose grips with the very purpose of playing a videogame..which is to have fun, not to investigate it to have something to b1tch about and pain you internally for its imperfections ..thats not why we play videogames ..atleast not the majority of us...correct me if im wrong, gaming is to have fun and enjoying the game for what it is..not what it could be .
