Funny I like Lil Franco

I think this video will be better than the actual game. P.S. This video was ok at best. Just saying. It had its moments but didn't capture my attention if you know what I'm saying.

Seems kinda juvenile (then again most of Harts stuff is). Maybe I'm just old but i stopped watching before the 1:00 mark. Hopefully the actual game will hold my attention for longer lol.

Re: EA Sports Says: It's Madden Season!

The production cost of that alone could've probably gone a long way with making the gameplay better had they invested it into the game IMO.

Pretty dang funny though.

You are correct.

Why? I never understand comments like these. For a company like EA - I imagine there is enough money for marketing and for game production. Why assume one takes from the other? If the game sucks - it will be on it's own merit - not because the $1M they spent on this commercial meant they couldn't spend on staffing to make a better game.

I am not trying to pick a fight or be mean spirited - but I truly don't understand how advertising relates to a good product. I have seen plenty of great games with great advertising. And we don't even know if the gameplay is lacking. Heck - early reports all indicate a MUCH improved experience. And even if the gameplay sucks - who's to say throwing more money at the game would fix the problem. If the developers suck or the company has the wrong vision, an addition load of cash only gets them going in the wrong direction much faster.

Lets just enjoy the commercial [or not if you hate Kevin Hart]. It's Madden time either way!

Are those people I should know? I guess I am too old for the Madden target audience.

That was pretty awesome. Well done EA Marketing.

Re: EA Sports Says: It's Madden Season!

They went over the top to try to get people hype for Madden again, since the Madden hype has been slowly dying over the years. I applaud them for their effort, but it was an obvious desperation move.
I like the part when him & his girl were arguing and his his girl left him. Who was the chick singing? Madonna?

Now we know where the game's budget went.

Re: EA Sports Says: It's Madden Season!

EA Ultimate Teams revenue alone generated $380M last year. I think it's safe to say that had enough money to create a big budget commercial and build the game.

Just sayin...

Re: EA Sports Says: It's Madden Season!

funny and weird as hell..it will definitely create hype


wish they put the money they spent on that add into the game. Had to cost some dough.

[TreyIM2]

I seen the teaser commercial this morn where Kev rings bell then smacks dude then it cuts to the Madden 15 title screen and the unseen voice comes in or whatever then goes off. Thought it was funny but weird then I see the full commercial and it's kinda funny and weird and wtf just kept poppin in my head repeatedly yet I was laughing at some of this. Creative....weird and kinda funny all in one.

Re: EA Sports Says: It's Madden Season!

Lol I'm assuming every OS'er has a cynical side and I guarantee that side was shaking its head thinking. "They could have spent this money on the game!". Lmao mine was.
