Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

video games sales are the one thing that has become even stronger during this recession.

I wish this part was true.

I just reported in the forums last week at this time, that a caption that appeared in our business section had a picture of Game stop employee playing Beatles Rock Band. The caption said they hoped this game would help pick up the video gaming industry that is also struggling in this economy.

Even though Madden 10 is much better than 09, it's lagging behind last years sales. Sure, Modern Warfare might be the exception rather than the norm this year.

PS- Thank you, CB, for that link.

Re: FAQ videos are recorded...awaiting approval

Ian, no offence, but do you realise how few games are actually played on line? You said yourself that u'd rather reach 1/5 million guys rather than 100, highly commendable.

But why then does everything seem geared to player vs player type gameplay? Is it because that's all you guys play? (and therfore you scew as the norm). Again, no offence, but player vs cpu is probably at least 95% of all games played. That's what the game should be based around, the rest should just be a entertaining option....

I totally disagree !! with your estimate about online players and believe me !! it's the cheeez that going on online that keeps people away, not the game itself !!

EA seems to be doing a better job at toning down the cheez that goes on online every year

Personally, I would not even touch this game if I could not play against a human opponent...offline or online

Even though the patches will help this game and make it an even better game...I have had more fun with Madden 10 than any other Madden from the past and I have been playing since the the 1st ever Madden was released 20 years ago

Keep up the good work IAN

Will there be a text response to all the questions? Or just a video?

Quick sneak peek:
- Broadcast cam is going to be in the first title update

Ian, you sir are the mf-ing man.

Are you sure about that?

Video game sales have declined for the 5th straight month. They are not growing stronger during the recession.

Whoop....really sorry about that. Time has really flown by. Sales were stronger for video games, I just can't believe it has been 5 months since. Thank you for your correction on that. Hopefully it isn't always about the sales and that the games that are out are doing their job to keep people entertained and allow that to save some money during the recession.

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

i appreciate the update & info but this just reminds me why i HAVE NOT bought madden until this year & end up trading it in in October when i do cop it.

Not to bash the game or anything but i always have this built up anticipation for it because i love football and EA has the only football game on the market thats playable & i expect so much.

then i buy it upon release & instantly realize that they have not fixed everything out of the box... THEEEENNNN i have to wait about a month or 2 for the game to be where it should have been when it was released & by this time NBA2k has been released and since i never got a chance to dive into Madden because of things that should not have to be patched, i get consumed by my current hoops game (NBA2K)

WE NEVER GET A FULL YEAR OF A FINISHED PRODUCT.

Re: FAQ videos are recorded...awaiting approval

Good, I definately hope your point is taken. I am extremely hopefull that future Maddens will be geared towards offline gamers.

I am glad my assumptions are wrong.

I hope you didn't take my post as being authoritative as I was accused of. It certainly wasn't my objective. sI went off my assumption which as you said are incorrect.

Thanks for the insight!

Hey, no offence taken, and none insinuated

[TreyIM2]

As much as I want to speak on the whiners and complainers, I will refrain....

Ian - Sounds good. The real goods sounds like it's going to be in the 2nd patch. I hope you guys touched on some of the things in my breakdown of the game that I blogged for you and put on the feedback site. I have a few more things that I never posted but I really dig the game so much that it doesn't matter, right now. I will update my list in the next day just in case those things were not already mentioned.

Not to gush on ya, Ian, but I like what you're doing. People can hate on anyone about any little thing cuz it seems easier to do, in this society, but as a man to another man, you are really bringing much to the Madden table and breaking your neck for the best of everyone. I appreciate you for that and hope you can continue to turn this franchise around. Best wishes. Peeeaaazzzz...

Re: FAQ videos are recorded...awaiting approval

Have some class? Have you actually read what people's posts have been on here? SOME people here on are not happy about having to wait until the second patch to start their respective franchise modes due to various issues that wont be addressed until the second patch. They have valid points and opinions.

I think you need to have a little class by respecting other folks concerns. It's not as if they were disrespectful towards anyone, unlike your post.

Well, it was directed more towards the minority than the majority. I agree with you, these are legitimate concerns and people have a right to their opinion. I'm right there with everyone in wanting sacks, stats, and flats fixed. But there are quite a few who have been very disrespectful in mouthing off every time they see Ian anywhere near the boards. I mean, it's one thing to let him know what concerns you have with the game. It's another thing entirely to belong to the segment that rips him for going on vacation and acts like he should spend every waking hour serving our needs.

I interpreted the comment I was replying to as belonging to the latter category (though, again, the vast majority of comments, esp. in this thread, have been cordial). I apologize if that was not the case. Maybe the whining in other threads has made me assume the worst of people.

Anyway, I'll apologize and move on. This particular conversation isn't really going anywhere any of us wants to be.

Man, I echo everything you just said. 2K10 is around the corner and if the game doesn't get better through the patches, it's going back to gamestop. It just sucks cause I love football so much. One thing I just cant get with is the running animations or jogging animations I should say. It can't be fixed in a patch and I just can't ignore it. I hope massive work goes into locomotion for Madden '11.

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

If the issue with players disappearing in the second half of games isn't addressed, the game is pretty unplayable.

In regular season game one of a franchise key starters disappeared - Forte, Hester, Harris and Cutler. It's pretty pointless to play franchise games when starters disappear for no reason.

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

So what's the time frame for patch 2?

October somethime?

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

This sounds great, thanks Ian. But when you look at flats, be sure to look at drags, slants, and ins as well, because the zone depth problem pervades hook zones and deep zones in addition to flat zones.

Re: Madden NFL 10 FAQ Videos are Recorded... Awaiting Approval

Glad to hear the news. I already have a franchise started but I may start a new one with the second patch. I'm just excited the stuff is going be fixed. Nice job.

Re: FAQ videos are recorded...awaiting approval

Nice timing... but by the time the 2nd patch comes out with the flats fix, It'll be half way through the NFL season practically and NBA 2k10 and Live will be released....

You're right they shouldn't even bother. Great attitude.



It won't be halfway through the season first of all and second of all if you prefer those hoops games you wouldn't be playing Madden anymore anyway, so who cares?
