It probably includes simmed games also.

Re: Madden sells 1.65m, 1.4m connect online, 700k MUT

As of right now, 9,855 followers. It would take some awfully creative math to move the needle on the 1,400,000 people connected online based on any statement he made. Think OS is big?

Why just his statement? Why not other sports forums, facebook friends, other social media, word of mouth, etc.

I'd love to see anything not (intentionally?) vague to back up that thought though.

I'd like to see anything not (intentionaly?) vague to back up the thought that only Looman Twitter followers would be offline gamers that went to online because of the offline problems.

Statistical analysis of online should be only taken seriously AFTER offline CC is fixed.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Continues Historic Start

I see people still bashing the game for selling and trying to find ways to bash why people are online...

I'm hearing a lot of "offline CCM" is broke here. Broke how?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Continues Historic Start

All this tells me we're getting further and further away from having a sim football game. This team will continue to develop this game a hybrid arcade/simulation game of football.

I also agree the offline CCM is the reason many are experimenting with online.

What about us 89m people mentioning bugs and glitches and lack of features? We don't get any love?

since over half of them are overreactions and not that big of deal, the majority of the gaming public don't really care. Seriously only like 5% of madden users are here, maybe less. Especially the people who just buy it to play with friends, they don't care about minute bugs that don't effect anything.

it's not broken by any means... though the CPU play calling is suspect and doesn't seem to be as hard as the game plays in All pro in Play now. but adjust the sliders and it will play fine. Its not broken. Again an overreaction from the guys at OS.

BS statistics. Play now is nice but madden 12 franchise is better in almost every facet.

That's interesting. Because the head designer for CC stated that offline CC was broken and not to use it. Are you talking about offline CC or something else? I've also heard about design problems in both offline and online CC with trying to get players production stats during free agency and and CPU play calling at the end of games. Guess I'm not so sure this is all an over-reaction from the OS community.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Continues Historic Start

Sales up up because they are finally making franchise (CCM) a priority. EA showed their potential with NFL Head Coach and this Madden is by far IMO, the best Madden yet. I'm hoping next year they put even more emphasis on franchise, draft, and presentation because even though this is great it could be so much better.

I want a weekly wrap-up show with highlights of games and also a draft segment where there is video of the upcoming rookies.

I feel EA is finally on the right track.

I will be right there with ya once the bugs are fixed and lost features brought back. Otherwise, I agree with much of what you said as long as EA/Tib refines, adds and enhances instead of rebooting in another direction.

I was a fan of Head Coach on the PC.

So, exactly how is it broken?

There are a ton of threads about this. I suppose you could ask the Head Designer who tweeted to not use Offline Franchise.

How about the CPU AI at the end of games. Or the progression system not progressing players correctly. There are a bunch of things that got tuned and fixed when you play an online franchise that offline needs to wait for a patch.

EA doesn't care about people trading it in. They got their money already. They just don't like people buying it used, but they combatted that with having to pay for the online pass and have a chance to hook the new player on PDLC. EA will always win, they are very smart with their business models.
