Yes, Madden is a 24-year-old franchise, but you're acting as if they were working on the real time physics the entire time. They just now decided to put it into their game, and while it's long overdue, it wasn't going to be perfect the first time around. Nothing is.

Btw, you may think all of those things are gimmicks, but personally I believe they ARE a big priority to football games as it's something we see on TV when watching the games.

I'll keep it short as possible. First, there are no "all these overhauls". Its just an engine that forces players to react to contact of other objects. Second, Fifa had this engine before Madden, so lets not try and recycle this "allow EA to develop the supposedly new technology" excuse that has been given to EA by complacent fanboys. And on top of that, they managed to not address MANY other issues that contradict similation football. Third, presentation does not take precedence over the absence of physics which is what the game is about. Presentation should be fixed when FOOTBALL is excercised in a manner that "we are used to watching on TV".


One last thing. Why does the fact that people are not content with EA adding features that games as long as 8 or 9 years had, be perverted to "So you expected the infinity engine to be 100% perfect?" Who said this? Please educate me on the standard amount of years that EA has to "perfect" a "new" engine. Then teach us when this rule came about that suggest that we should give a 4 or 5 year grace period for every "new" engine or feature that EA proposes at least every 2 years? At that rate, THEY CAN NEVER BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS BECAUSE THE PROPOSAL OF SOMETHING "NEW" WILL PUT PEOPLE BACK INTO THE "did you REALLY think that it was going to be great the first time around?" PHASE.
