Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

[BizDevConglomerate]

Up until this year, EA couldn't make a baseball came, it was eliminated by the license deal 2k made.

So, the development could be far behind in updating MVP.

Yo, SCEA makes a great looking game. But the show is dry as heck. There is now way you can tell me your able to sit there and play the show day in and day out with out getting bored. It's a great game. Has a few bugs. That's cool. But there's no intangibles in the rest of the game. No stadium creator, not uniform editor, no expansion, no drama of the rubber match, or playoffs. This year we will see. But they still left out uniform creator. I'm not talking about DD. you can have that if you like it. It's hot, but I'd like to see it in offline as well. That alone would catapult the show over all games. I've seen some great teams.

Anyway. Triple play was great. Even when the added the animations it made it fun. The best baseball game I plays was bottom of the ninth.

As for baseball games, depending on your age lets to back to when there was real comp. you had RBI, SNK, running it. Although SNK was fake. It was fun. RBI was good too. Once the games incorporated deeper play, such as franchises and such 2K stood out to me with expansion and gameplay. When Jeter was the cover guy 2k was tops.

Ea had a shot, what they did in college baseball has not been seen again. Maybe in 2k basketball. Where the players hit achievements and get sponsorships. You would receive bats, cleats, and other name brand equipment. The game was nice. The bat sound still pings in my head yo. But the batting was much like the show. Where they had to make changed this year.

I'm not a fan boy, what ever company makes a game worthy of 60$ I'm bout it. And quite frankly. None have. I wish 2k would go back to Jeter days of gaming.

Agreed with The Show, but don't have PS.

HH on the computer for me. Great game.

Back to football.

Re: Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

No, EA has sucked for the last 5 years. They produce playable games due to graphics, but the gameplay hasn't met the hype.

NOW. In my opinion. With this year being an exception, I have bought madden, and college every year due to my love of recruiting and drafting. I didn't need to play the ga e as much as I liked to draft, sim, created stadiums and such. But once it came to playin the game I put it down.

NBA 2k 13 is great. Hands down, but I'm the type of player that's into management more than playing. Until this year I couldn't play the game. My favorite was 2k5 with CP3. But the way 2k innovates with team creation, draft classes, etc this is why I buy their games.

Now, where they drop the ball is leaving us without a college counterpart. It's test to have the college classes for the draft, but if you love college basketball, then you want to play the game. When will we see another coach K basketball. Tell me. With DLC the great 2k would make maaaaad money releasing a DLC of college bball. Who would t buy it. It would also save them money from the need to made CDs.


Anyway this is my point. EA has been robbing us because the other manufactures aren't going the extra mile. They have their followers and that's it. EA has the monopoly. Marketing, ads, corporate America. Shoot 2k sponsors the friggin tournament and doesn't produce a game. That's stupid. Or a slap in the face.

My defense of EA is in lieu of this years madden which I boycotted till they patched the editing. You can look at my twitter threads with madden and see how many back and for the we had. They don't know football. But they sell the hell out of a game. Next year you cannot say your passing up madden and NCAA. They will integrate the draft, and infinity engine on both games. With Sammy Watkins, and Robert dknemdiche who's not going to have that on deck.

But these are my opinions. Not bible.

Your previous post that I quoted it seemed like you we're praising the hell out of EA... Now this post you attack them? I'm confused...

I wasn't saying EA are anything more than just good... SCEA, and 2K sports are just on another level which is sad considering how long EA has been around and all of the resources they have...

Year in year out same bulls***. I can't be leave how many people care about the cover.

The Show is dare I say it the best sports game like for like with the sports it's based on. As far as pure gameplay...and yeah to sit and play a baseball game day in day out is not for everyone... Same as watching games day in day out is not for everyone...it's baseball...

Re: Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

My dude. Did you want me to say pound for pound? These are video games right. It's fantasy and entertainment. Not real correct?

I was not trying to be smart by saying I apologize for jumping to the only logical conclusion regarding "pixel for pixel" in a literal sense.

As for marketing, are U serious. Their marketing isn't outstanding? Look at at their avenues for gaining attention. They have Ray, Mainstream commercials( multiple ) ESPN, magazines, the. The haters, the detractors, and the NFL 2k 5 minions. Look. If you tell me - Awe that game sucks don't buy it, I'm going to say, oh, word, huh let me see why it's wack. Then if your point is t true. I'm buying the game. All people aren't the same and these game manufactures could care less about me and you. They do extensive research, SWOTS, etc they practically have the witch doctor pray over mess and send it out.

Context matters. You said: "The way this has caused so much fury is amazing." My response to that statement is that marketing failed in this one instance, which I admitted might have been due to a bunch of consumers being upset over the track record of the product itself. If there is "fury" over marketing efforts, that is probably not a good thing from a marketing perspective. That was my point.

Did you mean EA not caring about you and me in the context of us not being the typical casual madden gamer? If that were the case, I can almost agree with you in the fact that they care a little less about us than they do their core target market. I disagree that they simply don't care about us unless we were a tiny market, which I don't think is the case.

Numbers huh, look at how many ppl complain on EA forums, then look at the fixes that aren't made, THEN, look at the success they still have. Don't turn my reality check into a support for EA. but do they make the best games too to bottom. Yes in my opinion.

You are misinterpreting my numbers argument. You said that 2k should be releasing a college basketball game. I said that numbers matter. You should make meaning for consumers but not at the expense of losing profits. To use what you said earlier, they have SWOTS, forecasts, expenses to cover, Porter 5 forces models, etc. To say that they do not make college basketball games and portray it as a bad thing is ignoring the fact that they likely have more information and data concerning the market than you or I do.

As far as EA making the best games from top to bottom, we will just have to disagree there. I think 2k makes superior games. Although, I am primarily a basketball and American football gamer.

Also, I accept blame for not breaking out your post into quotes before each point I was making. I re-read my post and it is hard to determine what I was talking about in relation to your post.

On to other things:

As far as the whole "new identity moving forward" thing. What consumer is going to think a change to Madden 25 is much different than Madden 14? That does not sound like a new identity. Changing a name from purely numbers like 8200 to "Pentium" is more of a new identity.

I hope EA Sports doesn't remove the 3D grass, this was the biggest improvement of the game in years.

Re: Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

They don't even have a stiff arm animation or "skinny" animation (when a RB positions himself to his side and runs forward so he can run through his blockers) in 2012.... o_O

NFL2k5 STILL BY FAR THE BEST GAME WITH ESPN ! I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING CLOSE TO IS SINCE.

Bring back competition !

Re: Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

This year’s game will push the boundaries with gameplay and feature innovations that will lay a very strong foundation for the next 25 years of this storied franchise.”


hopefully with this statement they actually fix all gameplay issues thats been in the previous yrs since the ps2 day's. that way when they move to the ps4 and xbox 720 that will all be worked out and not still be a beta tested version for new system's.

I think the quote is implying they fix the bugs within 25 years.
