Re: EA Pushes Back Connected Franchise Playbook to May 20th

LOL, this really is my last time posting about it but WTF?

If that "kid" was told they would get their present that morning but then told a few hours before they had to wait until that night and their last 9 birthday presents were shotty at best, then yeah, I think that kid has every right to be disappointed. FYI, the kid is NOT the one at fault in that analogy.

After 9 years the kid is partially at fault for his disappointment. The kid should get a clue after 9 yrs or at least lower expectations.

To continue this metaphor, insanity is continuing to expect a birthday present and not moving on with one's life with recalibrated expectations.

I guess if we had another gift giver; but alas we are stuck with one football game gift giver....Reality is, this is sorta par for course...Still, gotta be able to throw it in their face for dropping the ball again....Leaving something unchallenged is to accept less than....Standing around saying its all okay, is to say, keep doing what you're doing..."Thank you sir ! May I have another?"

What we are is optimistic, which generally is a better way to live than being pessimistic and thinking each new Madden game is gonna suck...

yes i agree with above quote. i dont understand why so many still want to give EA some kind of benefit of doubt. I mean, they had over two weeks since first two playbooks to decide this. IF , it was only because they only wanted to release all the info on same date, they wouldnt have waited until about 9 hours before it was supposed to happen , to cancel it. something/s will be getting left out again in this madden, watch n see. they cancelled because something wasnt working right and they expected it to be. Meaning they are behind schedule. Something gonna get cut from the game. SMH typical typical typical . Maybe they should only release a new madden every 5 years, so they have plenty of time to finish it before they release it and put everything in it they plan to and that it needs.

This is horse shhh***!! I havent even been buying the game since 09 but I still follow the game hoping they come close to something playable! Been looking forward to seeing whats up with this franchise bit?? Another let down and you figure I would be use to all the let-downs but its almost like getting nothing you wanted for christmas 8-9yrs in a row now, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! They even need an overhaul of leading up to the release date! More information, more gameplay, more blogs, updates, earlier demo release and much more! Once you start skipping dates you take away the thunder and the build-up!! This is another sad day!!

Insanity is doing the same action and expecting a different result....

What we are is optimistic, which generally is a better way to live then being pessimistic and thinking eac new Madden game is gonna suck...

Which is also insane. Every year you expect a certain kind of game. Every year EA makes it clear what kind of game it wants to make. Every year you guys are disappointed when EA does what it said it would. Yep, thats insane.

Not to be factious but it's sad seeing people blame a metaphorical kid instead of their metaphorical parents. No wonder the metaphorical society has gone to ish. lol

If it is about same day presentation then move the 20th release up to the 6th....


Would be nice to see a game play video of the most recent build....Even 3 plays, 2 runs and a pass would be cool....

Agreed! Somehting isnt right! Im not sure why everything is a big secret and why they keep everything under lock n key?? Marketing and Money I guess??

I almost became a psychiatrist, actually...true story. I much prefer using psychology to better script/fix scripts that have emotional/psychological impact. It's less personally frightening than dealing with mental instability and being responsible for their actions.

Sorry, I ramble. Point is that the psych-analogies are flawed here. With EA having constantly changing Dev. Heads, that would be akin to having different Parents each year to expect presents from. Thereby, that is not exactly clinical insanity (expecting a different outcome from the same source, repeatedly). In general terms...with EA being the "parent"...maybe...but, still not exactly the definition since people are in and out per EA so often. Just saying. There's your lesson for the day.

Let's return this discussion to talking about Madden NFL 25 and this particular announcement in a direct matter, please. Thanks.

True, but one more psychological aspect because it's so fun to study it all, still. There's 5 stages of grief - 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance. Do, leave this thread open long enough to see how long it takes several posters to display them all.

Actually EA Tiburon does not do what it says it will do....Or more correctly states what it will do in less than specific language leaving many guessing just what they are doing....

Perfect example this year "redone every offensive run play blocking; brought in an EX-NFL offensive lineman." ~ very vague leaving many to fill in the blanks....Best way to do it is - release those notes and a ~ 1:00 video of an example an actual run play....

Re: EA Pushes Back Connected Franchise Playbook to May 20th

Okay...dead serious.

The only videos any of us are all going to agree on are actual game play videos. We all know this. Anything else we could see is pointless. No one's opinions will carry any merit until those release.

nobody thinks its weird that the date was rescheduled the day before EA is suspose to be at the xbox reveal
