Ian just made me laugh out loud...

This was from a thread at OS:

And ask him WTF at some of the stuff that happens.

I got the game, its great, can't get enough football. But seriously, some of this stuff that goes on is complete BS.

-The opposing team kicks a FG that hits off the upright, but they get the points anyways?

-Even with adjusting sliders, the computer gets ALL DAY to sit back and scan the field.

-Diving for the endzone with Adrian Peterson only for him to drop the ball right before it passes the goaline. WTF?

-The computer barely running the ball, and getting nothing when they do.

-The computer gets like 350 yards passing every game, yet I still win.

On and on. I would love to play some with Ian, and just be like, "Are you an idiot, why did you let that get in the game?"

and Ian's response:

Does this shit really happen in the game?

I thought this was the best Madden.. EVER..

 

[1ke]

Really....

 

[MRN]

Nah, don't let this fool mess with you, the game is awesome. You'll see.

I was playing the computer yesterday and instead of kicking the GW field goal they just didn't snap the ball and let the clock expire.

They also seem to enjoy trying 58 yard field goals with shit-ass kickers.

They lose A LOT of time running the hurry up when they have 3 TOs sometimes.

I like the game but there are some WTF moments.

 

[RosettaStoned]

I have had kicks hit the upright and bounce off, and still count the 3 in the demo. He's also on point about the cpu having all day to throw.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

Well he said something bout AD fumbling, but isn't that what AD does?

 

[Poundtherock]

There's still gonna be some WTFs in any video game. Ian's answer had a lot of sarcasm, and rightly so, lol.

 

[steeljake]

i couldnt play a game with a person that actually built this game without being arreseted for assualt, but i did lol at the response... but this is even funnier..

this is helicopter's xbox tag: Build one that doens't shit itself every 3 months

 

[Tengo Juego]

The game is very good, but there's a lot of shit that leaves you scratching your head.

And that should be expected. I don't know why these people think its a brand new game.

Madden is a classic car that sat in the driveway for years. Now its being restored. People see that the exterior is lookin nice. Then they get in and notice the interior is a little worn and torn.

So whats all your point? Get the game and I am going to be tempted to sell it within 2 weeks or not get the game, and continue my boycott of 5 years running now?

programming is probably the single most difficult thing in the world to learn in an IT field. i think about people who try and learn .net and the long tedious process of learning code......lmao

imagine going 10 steps further and trying to create a video game.....and people wonder how things get by.....imagine trying to go thru an infinite set of lines and making sure every single characters is correct. doesnt sound so easy does it?

Yeah, it's just so many other development teams are so much better at it. It's hard as fuck to win an NFL game, some are better at it than others.

 

[RosettaStoned]

People should kiss the floor and thank these guys to make a gm that we could play online.

Uh, no.

I would thank this post if I had thanks left. I know a *little* about programming, and to think about programming all the intricacies of a football game makes my head hurt.

It may be a classic, beat up car - but it still gets the girl everytime.
