New info on Patch#2 and Madden Community Interaction.

[Tengo Juego]

My expectations are forever lowered. I almost dont care anymore.

I honestly wonder why some of you even play madden. If you can't look at this years game and see marked improvement from last years then maybe u should just put the sticks down because your gunna remain disappointed. This years version of the game was a big step in the right direction, people complaining that its too hard to run, if u havent noticed its hard to run in the NFL, ppl complaining that its hard to go deep, its fucking hard to go deep in the NFL.

I do agree with this. The game is much improved compared to last year.

+1, Madden 10 is BY FAR the best next-gen version of the game. They're headed in the right direction, but it's a lot to accomplish in just one year.

I will say that I think the core of the game is flawed, so much so that Madden will never be exceptional until they scrap the entire damn thing, and start all over.

Honestly Madden 10 is the first next gen madden i've gotten into.

Why I sucked bad to start lol

Except they already said they won't redo the engine.

Ian Cummings is a giant toolbox, he's trying to blame everything on the people who are showing him the flaws in his game. He's basically getting all the OS posters to hate on guys showing legitimate flaws in the game, so they won't show that stuff anymore.

Those videos show things that should not be in the game yet they are. Make a good game and you won't get criticized, its simple.

edit- I just saw in the original post that they're thinking about invite-only forums. What a fucking joke, that means they'll invite a bunch of guys to suck their dicks and say how great the game is while only offering minor complaints. Basically like the community day guys who went and said how this was going to be an amazing game, fuck them. Get some real people who will bring up real problems and won't suck up just to get a chance to see the game early.

Exactly.

You guys are starting to see the light.

Remember this when his ass starts blogging, and spoon feeding you idiots more bullshit about Madden 11.

I disagree.

If anything, Madden 09 was more difficult than 10, which is my main complaint about the game. I actually lost games on 09, but Madden 10 is built so an 8 year old can play it. I seriously did not lose a single game, and I only controlled the quarterback. Wtf am I supposed to do? The CPU AI was NOT improved.. I don't give a fuck who comes on here and tries telling us otherwise - The CPU AI in Madden 10 was worse than Madden 09. It was downright laughable at how bad it really was.

Madden 10, with the expectations I had, is really awful.

An upgrade? Graphics wise, I guess. AI wise? It's one of the worst Madden games I have ever played, right next to Madden 08.

[Tailback U]

Yeah I played Madden 09 almost year round, I can't play Madden 10 any more.

It's much of the same, but no way is it hands down better like some of you are acting like.

It's a pretty shitty game all around, really. I'd love for one of you to explain exactly why 10 is so much better than 09, maybe I'm missing something, but I know that somebody at EA should be fired every time a linebacker tackles my QB before he is able to hand the ball off to the running back in the backfield.

[CCBrink]

I like Madden 10 a lot more than 09. I don't play against the CPU much anymore, so thats probably why.

madden 10 looks great, but it is a fucking shell. slow speed online is just plain lame and it was put int to hide the flaws inthe enginge that cause morphing.
- the so called franchise mode doesnt even have contracts for players how fucked up is that?
-the fatigue rate is bullshit and the subs that go in are unrealistic.
-they calim to have the most authentic version ever with the addition of animated hand towels and super bowl patches yet they cant get numbers on the players on the sidelines?
-still no formation shifts, still no change on the fly audibles from the play call screen. -man align is useless and no player shading in man coveage on D.
- in order to make changes to zones you must be on the player then hit an 8 button super combo to get them into man coverage.
- no drag or quick screen hot routes.
- fight for the fumble cannot be turned off in OF mode and it happens even when one guy clearly gets the ball

all these things except for that gay ass fight for the fumble are not new features that were asked for, they are things that have been in madden for years until next gen. Ian cumdumpster touted this as a the greatest madden ever and it is isnt close. yes it looks great. yes they have a shit ton of alternate uniforms that you can play online. but if you put a tuxedo on a piece of shit and shine that bitch up you only have a well dress shinny piece of shit. fuck Ian. he lied and if he worked for any other company he would have been fired for what he has done. The roster updates are even worse of a joke. It wouldnt be so bad if there were another game out there to go to or to push them to make their game better, but there is not. Hence they can make the shinniest roseiest best looking smiling cocksucking piece of shit they want and if you want to play football online with real nfl teams then you best buy some rubber gloves and some germ X and get you madden. If Ian doesnt like what people are saying to him then he should quit and the next guy should do himself a favor and not promise shit that he can't deliver.

Ian Cummings was caught off-guard after the release of Madden 10.

I think he expected universal positive reaction. When it was anything but that, he took it personally.

To say Madden 10 is a disappointment is a mild understatement.

[Tailback U]

I think the people who put up those videos are being rude and unfair to game creators. Heck most of those people complaining don't understand the difficulty of programming, much less making an interactive simulation such as Madden that needs to be easy enough for us who lack tech-savvy to be able to play. Those who make those videos are actually harming any chance of player getting better football games. There are problems with the game but there is no need to attack the creators.

Excuse me?

Did you actually just say that a customer does not have the right to voice displeasure with a product?

Wow.

[Derrville]

I thought slow speed was "supposed" to cut down interceptions and pick 6's..Well that sounds good in logic but interceptions are being returned at a very high rate in all the leagues I'm in...which brings me to the point, that the pursuit angles are garbage.

By my experiences, the faster the speed the less picks.

I take it you dont talk to anyone at EA anymore?
