    Re: EA CEO Speaks of an Innovative and New Take on Madden?

    The Ceo mentions this,

    "Sims on console, FIFA in a World Cup year, an innovative and new take on Madden."


    Now what does this have anything to do w/ more arcade or Wii Madden 10?

      This exclusive license deal needs to come to an end. Then EA can do what ever they want with Madden and 2k can go back to making the best NFL game on the market.

        It slices both ways, too and I don't understand how people can be pessimistic and tie the CEO's words to the new creative directors hiring.
        Just taking into his past work history. Got to think people are good at the type of field they are working in and have created for before. Just thinking if his foundation is arcady...is creative direction would be the same base. Again, my opinion...if some think that is not founded, well we can all wait and see what direction this goes, can't we. Its like the independent thought alarm went off in here!

            That is what I'm doing, taking a wait and see attitude. This new creative director also made a sim hockey game, but that one get's overlooked.

            His first answer is said, gameplay is king. Does that sound like someone who wants to take Madden and NCAA into kiddy area?

              What I saw with this signing is a guy who knows how to make a fun game. I'm up for that.

                Now that sounds innovative, but arcade and Wii Madden 10, not so much.
                I'm stoked to hear about Madden 11. Sorry I'm not living w/ the cup half empty approach, like others on here.

                  Guys... this probably just means they are somehow incorporating the "NFL Trainer" game into Madden. Or something like that.

                    Ok, I see now.
                    I'm still living w/ the cup half full though! New and innovative, not arcade and Wii Madden 10.

                      i'm with you man!!!! i wonder if this could possibly mean full integration of either the espn license or maybe even some realistic broadcasts, fox, cbs, nbc, and espn, with some of the actual analysts from games. that would be innovative!!!!

                        Now, we are thinking out of the box. That would be great.

                            My opinion, Madden was seeing sales drop and getting so many complaints on glitches and mistakes that they realized how hard it is to make a game look real, but they have no competition so instead of trying harder to get it done, they are going to make it a different style (probably arcade) so they dont have to defend their failed attempt at a realistic football game, and anything that isnt real in the game they can just say they werent going for realism.

                            this eliminates ppl from complaining about the fact that the real guy who does the chain gang for the bengals doesnt have a mustache but he does in madden..

                              still not understanding why everyone thinks the game is going to be arcady...ian made it pretty clear that they were going for the "everything you see on sunday will be in madden" approach. i still have faith...i'll keep on drinking that kool aid

                                Didn't they release Madden Arcade already?
                                This just doesn't seem new and innovative imo. If anything they realized that the Madden Arcade is going to be a failure imo.

                                I think they would notice all of the complaints about M10 were simmed stats, animations, and gameplay all being more sim.
                                I guess we'll find out.
