Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Tim Tebow Highlights (OS @ E3)

man people that moan about all the complaining about people on a Madden forum about important Madden problems stuff drive me nuts...

if you don't think tackling is an important part of football and that Madden is only football game this gen that has this problem and wasn't even an issue in some football games in previous gen, then hey, ignorance is bliss. morre power to ya.

I haven't purchased a next gen Madden because it's been sub par. But you are attacking people for being unhappy that Madden doesn't have things in the game that it and others had WELL OVER A HALF DECADE AGO.

Because of the Exclusive Rights, MADDEN is the ONLY NFL licensed game out there. People have a right to be unhappy with EA/Tib.

I agree they can be unhappy, I'm unhappy, I haven't bought madden this gen either. I play head coach for the franchise aspect, but haven't played madden because their franchise mode is weak. The point is there are numerous people who know they aren't going to like certain things, things they call 'deal breakers' things they have complained about for years, but then they buy the game anyways, give EA money and continue to complain. You've complained about it, but you've also said it can be overlooked because you gave them your money.

I think his point is the one we've heard numerous times, the majority of the people that complain over and over still buy the game, and then they play it and complain some more.
If it's really that big of a deal, don't buy the game. If you don't have fun with the game because you can't look past these things don't buy the game.
If you know about these problems, they bother you, and you are going to support EA by purchasing it, then what are you complaining about? They gave you a product that you deemed worthy of your cash. That's really the only opinion of a consumer that matters, is it good enough to get their money?

Please stop with the "don't buy if you don't like it" crap. Unfortunately if someone wants an NFL game there's only one option, if that option is lacklustered then that is part of the reason why this forum is around, to voice concern. If it wasn't we'd be banned. Don't tell us because some pay for the game they should just shut up and take it. Then if someone points out flaws about the game but hasn't played it then people will pull ye ole "oh you haven't even played the game, so don't judge it unless you play it" mess so just stop with all that.

there's such a thing as constructive criticism. but there's a line. so many people here expect perfection and to expect that from any video game is delusion. mlb the show - best baseball sim ever right? there are plenty of issues in this game if you play it and dissect it. there are in every game ever made. there's no such thing as the perfect game. it doesn't exist. madden won't ever be a perfect simulation game. there are things about the game i hate. sure. there are things i'd like added, changed, tweaked, etc. but on 2 minute preview video, all you guys can talk about is flaws. i think the game looks great. you all act as if you're entitled to something. you're not. ea can feed you whatever they want and that's the bottom line. if you all would act like adults and try to help ea and the designers who come here for insight (or used to), they'll listen. they've proven that they listen to us in the past. but to ***** and moan about every single little issue in every single thread and every single video posted is ridiculous. there are issues. they know that. to argue about it is meaningless.

and to Jimixiii, if you don't play the game and continue to point out flaws, your opinion really means very little. that's like never trying mountain dew and saying it's gross. 'it's green, so it's gross' how do you know? have you tasted it? it's the nectar of the God's! i know you're probably a madden pro but you're too good for the current gen so you still rock your ps2 version of madden. if that's your style, fine. but to judge a game you don't even play is ludicrous.

all i'm saying is you all act like ea isn't working hard. that is their job. all they do is work 9-5 on code. they work for months to improve the game. voicing concern is fine, but to simply focus on the negative and not look at all the positive strides the game has taken is maddening. i'm pumped for the game. i'm not ignoring flaws, but i'm not focusing on them.

[rynecandy]

this makes me sad...even on Pro...6 defenders....someone should have taken him down. Not all of them were controlled by the user. I hope this was just a fluke.

Pointing out basic and significant flaws that the game has had every year for well over half a decade, isn't being picky or childish.

And I would say that they don't listen as much as you think if the flaws are in the game each and every year.

Plus all the features that are taken out, why, who knows. And still haven't been put back in.

These are not MINOR things like you seem to make them out to be.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Tim Tebow Highlights (OS @ E3)

I read that the Broncos only want to take 2 QB's into the season so unless Tebow gets 2nd string will he be on the opening roster maybe as a FB? I bet if he didnt make the roster EA still keeps him on there 53 man roster.

Perfection?!?! We will settle for above average at this point but can't even get that.

This video along with the Reggie Bush video is RIDICULOUS. Nothing has changed in terms of ice skating, flats being abused, ridiculous plays, 128382 broken tackles for a QB...nothing.

I mean cmon EA, if you are going to resort to putting out a game like this after yet another year of development then I truly question the talent of the EA Tiburon development team, and I question the decision making of the EA Tiburon management team.

I'm sorry but as customers we don't have to settle for garbage product. These videos look horrible.

There's my constructive criticism.

i'm not reading all that! LOL, but i skimmed thru it and i'm sorry , i'm sorry my opinion means so much to you that you needed to type 3 paragraphs about how you don't like that fact that me & many others see this game still has a serious tackling issue which therefore affects a great portion of the game play. there's a lot more people that feel exact same way. we're on a Madden forum were opinions are made, i hope you get over it soon buddy.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Tim Tebow Highlights (OS @ E3)

So wait, they don't owe us anything? We just give them 65 dollars a year, (plus more if you include the bogus downloadable content) for nothing?

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Tim Tebow Highlights (OS @ E3)

All that weird swerving left & right Tebow was doing at the end of the run in unison with his two lead blockers looked very awkward. Looks like the technology isn't really that advanced, like the blockers are now just mirroring the ballcarriers movements robotically and not independently just knowing who would need to be blocked on their own...weird.

This shows that the players are NOT capable of any artificial thought. They are not "thinking", they are not looking for someone to block, they are just running along in lock step with Tebow. Madden is a complete illusional conjob. The devs are working hard trying to develop animations that fool us into thinking we see something that doesn't really exist, i.e. true AI.

It's our problem whether we buy it or not.....
Since it's the only NFL Licensed game being developed.
No Competition, no choice. That is a problem.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Tim Tebow Highlights (OS @ E3)

I gotta' ask, and I'm NOT trying to be sarcastic, WHAT were the devs doing all year?? Seriously, when I heard they weren't upgrading franshises, and devoting ALL year to presentation and gameplay, I really expected to see huge changes in the gameplay department.

Now, we get these videos, and even in a 2 minute video, there is a plethora of garbage that just looks like crap! What exactly did they supposedly "fix" and "tweak" all year long?????

And what was their head coach guy doing if not working on franchises??

Tweaks to running stats doesn't constitute a years worth of work, IMO.

Please, EA, PLEASE just give this game to a new development team next year. Enough is enough.
