    I don't expect many of you to change your opinions until you see results, nor should you. If I hadn't heard the things I've heard from someone I trust and has proven himself for years, I'd be just as skeptical as many of you are.

    I may be optimistic, but that doesn't mean I can't understand why you guys are pessimistic and feel the way you do about things.

    Like I said before, I think Cam and Rex are working very hard to give us the NFL football game we have been wanting too, but just like the people responsible for the uniforms, they don't have the technology! The current outdated buggy engine wont' get the job done! EA's management refuses to spend money on resources that will give the Madden team the best chance to make the best possible NFL football game.
    So Cam, Rex and crew have to attempt to make miracles happen with the junk they have. It's not their fault, at the end of the day the customers that get screwed, I refuse to support this by purchasing the game. This is the result of a monopoly!!

      You made a valid point which I tried to touch on earlier, I was actually tempted to start a separate thread regarding the financial situation of EA after listening in on their recent earnings call. Digital content is what drives revenue for EA, currently it accounts for almost 40% of their GAAP reported revenues. In terms of packaged software (Madden) their sales outlook as per P. Moore for this current generation and the release for next gen is "soft" meaning they forecasted Madden to not sell as well while they were in development and thus allocated resources accordingly. After listening to the earnings call it is abundantly clear that Madden is not a top priority at EA, FIFA, SIMS, Battlefield 4, Star wars and next gen Star wars and their drive into the tablet and smartphone market are where they see the majority of their future revenues coming from and have been planning accordingly.

      In short, the big money makers for these sports games is the Ultimate team feature that is the gold mine which is derived from packaged software. The only positive take away was (I believe) Moore's reference to pushing more resources into the ignite and frostbite engines. The guys driving the bus are solely worried about getting the game into the hands of people that are going to spend money on Ultimate team content. Take it for what it's worth.

        We are close to 1 week away from Next Gen, this was the game around E3 I was so excited about! I couldnt help but think what next gen could do for madden, I was thinking 2k graphics, revamped gameplay, photo realistic stadiums...everything we have wished to have from current gen but now we have the console with the power to do things we probably cant even think of right now.

        1 week away and we have seen nothing but blades of grass and close ups of feet and shoulders. Just a few months ago I was dreaming about this game, fast forward to right now, I have ZERO hype.

        Great job EA

          Guys settle down.. I spoke to Rex and Clint and they are very excited about the True Font ™ feature coming to next gen madden in the next few cycles. They aren't where they want to be yet... but they hope to expand on the feature to allow for full resolution of the vikings number fonts and textures. Their new tech can make up to 400 calculations per second to determine how a jersey font should look, smell and feel. It's incredible stuff.
          I have to ask: How would Clint know? He's a gameplay designer, right?

          EDIT: Oh, I see what you did there.

            I agree with those guys passion to get it right. So many questions though.


            Will they get the time?


            Will they get the resources aka cash money?


            and the big one...


            Do they have the TALENT at EA Sports to make and deliver on their "vision" of what they think we ALL want?


            like I said, im routing for them but I don't want to wait till im 40 to get a complete game of football.

              Just think about that statement for a couple of seconds... and can a nice gentleman on the forums please find the appropriate WTF gif for said statement?

              What type of high end tech could be needed to get a font right???... Heck, imagine if you were to play NBA 2K14 with the Heat and their jerseys had the team name in TimesNewRoman font!!!!! SMH!
              You had me rolling w that last part! Lmao! "Times New Roman" lol on such a basic level things are so complex (0)_(0)
