Madden 12 Virtual Playbook #2: Presentation

[Maynard]

i guess they listened to all the great suggestions at OS. you know, the ones where the guys complain about the color of the shoes....good stuff

[steeljake]

so now it will be an even shinier piece of shit... way to keep polishing that turd EA!

[hackett]

Same meaningless posts. How about some real reasons as to why this game "sucks" instead of being all over each others dicks?

[inthecards21]

Wow this looks shitty, seriously stressing the fucking shoes or a tiny green sticker?

[killgod]

Some guys are just being ridiculous.

I mean, people will go apeshit over "the little details" in MLB the Show, but when EA slaps the lightning bolt on the QB green sticker you rip them for it.

IMO they are trying to catch up by doing things that make MLB and NBA 2K great, but obviously it's got to actually deliver on what we're seeing. Regardless, they clearly seem to be tackling the things that needed to be fixed.

I thought Madden 11 had some great improvements but overall was a shitty game because it was extremely unbalanced and the modes were as stale as jake's dick cheese. Regardless, harping on them for doing the same things that you suck off SCEA for is just ridiculously stupid, yet that's exactly what's going on here.

The difference is SCEA and 2k don't brag about having little things really. You just notice them when you play and it is a pleasant surprise. EA is saying like "Look at these things we add, its so real now."

Or they are saying,"hey look we're finally hitting home those little details people always say we've lacked" so that people can shut the fuck about about it?

And no, SCEA has never bragged about the little things before... :obama:

Yeah it's from 09, and we all realize EA is behind, but lets not act like SCEA hasn't done it before.

[j.hen]

I don't want to pass too much judgement just yet, I do like that they realized Pro-Tak didn't work and at least made some strides at correcting it. I'm not going to be too excited or disappointed until I hear more about the "over 100 additions to Franchise" though.

[BigBucs]

Phil Frazier on that crack diet.

[Nevermind]

But have the fans really been asking for the little green sticker? To me that is just dumb and something that won't really be seen during gameplay.

lol @ the flip flopper here who vows not to buy madden months ago and now see's them putting things like realistic shoe laces and a green sticker on helmets and flips to being all excited about it.

Show me a beefed up offline (online) franchise and show me the fix to severe gameplay issues before I get anywhere near using the aww yeah guy to a madden video.

I've always and will continue to always say who gives a flying fuck about presentation. I could play in an empty stadium with no crowd effects and I wouldn't care if the gameplay was great. All the show and baseball has is its little things since the sport is boring as fuck.

[Maynard]

EA does this every year. they hype it up only to let everyone down. Its amazing that they can do this for 5 straight years and people still buy into it. they are masters of marketing

[hackett]

show me the fix to severe gameplay issues

What issues are there that makes gameplay severe?

[CCBrink]

Lol at people still bitching when they are clearly doing things to improve the game.

Excited? Because I'm disputing the blatant hypocrisy evident in the thread? LOL ok.

Show me a beefed up offline (online) franchise

When that news comes next week, we can talk about it

and show me the fix to severe gameplay issues before I get anywhere near using the aww yeah guy to a madden video.

Why don't you check the gameplay video where it shows clear cut evidence of removing suction? Tough to say how well it's going to work, but they seem to think it's gone and have shown proof of it. Gameplay clearly has a huge fundamental change when how players collide is completely changed.

I've always and will continue to always say who gives a flying fuck about presentation.

Doesn't make it a bad thing they worked on it, that's just your fat opinion. It lacked in the game and was addressed, get fuckin over it.

I could play in an empty stadium with no crowd effects and I wouldn't care if the gameplay was great.

Not me, shit's lame. We basically already have that with the white noise crowds who aren't watching the game, it's shit and doesn't do any good.

All the show and baseball has is its little things since the sport is boring as fuck.

Can't argue much there.
