Except the past few years Madden has gotten better.

So tired of the agenda posting.

Anyways the video was funny and I also liked last years better.
Fun and video games... the way it should be.

Lighten up. It was funny and a fun piece of advertising. I seriously doubt EA said "screw making the game better" Which it is, and said "lets pour all our resources into a trailer."

I am now dumber for having watched that.

Lighten up and have little fun, and don't try to take an obvious attempt at humor and put it to your agenda (which, by the way, has been noticed pretty apparently by the entire staff).

Oh you mean the staff all wearing the same capes as you? I coulda swore I was having fun in my post. If I have an agenda so do all of you. All the time I've spent on this site and have contributed, now it's a problem posting my thoughts.....

Your history here has nothing to do with the fact that you took a humorous trailer that was supposed to be fun and made it all about your view of 'EA doesn't care and you don't take it seriously anymore'.

I mean how is that a problem? It's my opinion on the commercial. I didn't say anything was wrong with what EA did. It's just my opinion that Madden isn't the serious game that some want it to be, and that's fine. I thought the commercial reflected that pretty well. I enjoyed it for what it was, as I do Madden.

I'm not defending either side here, I would just quickly say if a person thinks Madden is bad or good, then anything comes with some sort of inherent agenda. How you try to keep the agenda separate from trying to tie it all together is the thing that ends up being the sticking point.

That being said, marketing is weird and I don't claim to understand it. I would say though that yeah, if you think Madden is bad you're going to tie the marketing things to your image of the product because this commercial an advertisement for said product. If you think Madden isn't so bad, you're going to take this as a piece of marketing and nothing more. If you think marketing/advertising is interesting, you're going to think "man, I guess they're going for a young demographic/teen demographic probably because they have metrics saying that's who buys their game the most. I think/or don't think this nailed that demographic."

Point being, it goes down some funky/uncomfortable paths (as is already being shown) if you start trying to tie alllllll those things together rather than just saying "hey this commercial was not funny" or "hey that was pretty good."
