The offline and online percentages were definitely interesting. I would say it depends on how much time I have and the mood I am. But I would say I play offline 60% of the time and online 40% of the time. So, maybe I am in the minority!
Have an awesome day!!Comment

Definitely the minority...it was crazy how many people were exclusive offline or online gamers.Comment

Ian, Madden 11 is one the best sports game this generation post the final patch. I waited for the final patch and I amazed with the overall quality of the title.
Keep up the good work and have a safe holidays.
Peace

Stay positive.Comment

Re: Madden NFL Designers Podcast #4 w/ Special Guest, Pasta Padre Available Now
I usually do a few 1 year franchises because I don't like the off season. Then, I just play the next team on the Steelers schedule twice, once before and once after. I did 1 year in online franchise mode, and I play about 3-4 online games a week! So, when you say exclusively offline and online, what are the main ones: is it play now and head-to-head? Or maybe its MUT.
Great podcast. I am a big fan of pastapadre, and good interview. Definitely interview him again like he said when some features come out. I really hope presentation and announcing is improved a lot by the time 2014 version comes out. Game play is always biased on if it's good or not, but IMO, either presentation is good or bad. I really hope Gus and Chris announce together in the booth and the whole thing feels like there is more immersion.Have an awesome day!!Comment

No, it's mainly online ranked games or offline franchise games, and most people play either one or the other - rarely do they play an even mix of both. Those make up the majority of all games played in Madden NFL 11.Comment

I just play only offline franchise. I am hoping that M12 will be deeper and more immersive.Comment

Re: Madden NFL Designers Podcast #4 w/ Special Guest, Pasta Padre Available Now
Listening to the podcast I can say this is probably the best one so far. Now I know they talked about features and stuff so I would like to give my 2 cents about 2 things that I would like to see done to Madden that would make me buy it again:
1. New and better animations (ex. different play-action animations for Quarterbacks, and tackling)
2. Better offline franchise, now I know this has been brought up a lot but this is a really important factor if I will buy Madden.
But I really appreciate Ian, Donny and the group for doing these podcast.Comment

I wish they would talk about why EA servers are so bad. Why playing online franchise has so much lag vs online quick match. I can assume why taking into account thefranchise aspect, but the lag is so bad. Connecting to EA servers and the stability of the connections seems to be consistently bad....
I hope the ycontinue to listen to the community as they say they have, but not sure at any point did the community ask for the strat pad, rewind, gameplan, etc etc...The most i've seen people talk about is the mechanics, the AI, and the presentation, but it seems to continue to be overlooked with only small adjustments every year...Instead every year, we get a new gimmick that brings nothing to the table...the last feature that was great was the hit stick and now its pretty much useless...Comment

Also, you might have to factor in the franchise mode basically untouched on M11, so maybe some of those online ranked players will play franchise mode now. Instead of them being exclusively online or offline, maybe it more has to do with what the game has to offer them.Have an awesome day!!Comment

I am an offline franchise guy. I rarely play online due to time...As stated in the podcast I do believe it has a lot to do with age and time constraints.I would also like to say great job on the support for the game this year in terms of patches and community interaction I have been a long time fan and Madden almost lost me this year, but I do believe this game is starting to head in the right direction and you guys are getting a better grasp on what your core group of Madden players are looking for.Comment
