Madden 12 gonna be FUCKED

[hackett]

Everything will be fine. EA will pump out another mediocre football game in Madden and the majority will buy it because what other option do we have?
IMO, they should just keep what they have in Madden 11, patch some things into it and skip 12 all together. That wouldn't be good for their fat ass wallets though.

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

I don't visit OS but I'm guessing all those homers are co.soling each other and convincing themselves that eveeything is going to be fine.

If the Madden boards are like the NCAA boards then no. Those people are far from EA homers


I'm still pissed there is no CBB games. 2k needs to make one again. And EA needs to get the baseball license back.

 

[PP]

Facebook games are a money maker. I would get the fuck outta EA too.

 

[SuperKevin]

People have been clamoring for more realisim in these games for years. EA Sports decided to give them what they want. No NFL season=no Virtual season. it doesn't get more realistic than that

 

[Tengo Juego]

This means nothing for Madden 12.

Madden 13 and on, maybe.

Not necessarily true and I'm evidence of that.

I've been looking to move on from my position for about a year now. How much effort do I give? Maybe 50%? Just enough to keep managers happy? Pretty much.

These guys knew they were leaving, but for how long? I doubt they were putting in their best efforts knowing they had one foot out the door.

We're talking about a "scoop" from PP where he doesn't bother to name names. Why not go to Bleacherreport next?

 

[FirstTimer]

I wonder if the EA nuthuggers over at OS are still slurping Ian.

He cites his source as the Orlando Business Journal, FWIW.

I read the "source" article. There is a leap between the OBJ link and PP's final article.

It's a sensationalist article (well, in the insular community of video game football junkies) where he has people hitting up his website to see if IAN IS LEAVING!!! He left it vague enough (no sources, no names) that he can't be wrong. If it doesn't happen, he just says last second changes, change of heart, got a raise ect ect and never gives a name. If some unknown leaves, he just claims that is who he was talking about. If a developer gets re-assigned within the company (which is pretty common) than he claims that was his story and that person was using the new company as leverage.

You're right about his approach to getting hits, but I don't think the story is false. I mean, Tiburon is larger than Madden so this could be entirely unrelated, but much like PP I made this thread for additional hits.

I just enjoy supporting the anti-Madden vibe until those assholes re-think their approach to what they are doing with the game.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

My guess is NFL asked them to change the hits and the game engine to reflect the concussion problem. Leaving tiburon with no choice but to leave since they're only capable of changing things once a decade.


Ive said it so many times before EA/Tiburon Madden programmers are second rate talents. You dont leave arguably the biggest title in gaming to work on facebook games.
The proof is in the pudding. Unfortunately EA put its money in marketing not development. I highly doubt we'll see any good talent come in to change anything. Just more status quo patchwork programming.

 

[1ke]

EASports = El Oh El

NHL and FIFA have carried them over the last couple years anyways. Fuck Madden.

Fuck them, just make sure you dont touch my BF franchise and ill be ok.

 

[FirstTimer]

Trolling the OS Madden forum will be fun.

People are already circling the wagons saying the game will be fine and will be released in August.

 

[spiker]

Ian and Pasta are buddies. If it was false, I think Ian would have corrected him by now.

 

[Champ]

The eCops have been called. 104 OS members are on Suicide Watch.

 

[Aso]

There are always alternatives...

Like this

 

Yes, I'm spamming. Deal with it.

 

[Garrett67]

I think that is funny. Madden can close its doors for all I care.
They owe me about $300 for the past 5 years of crap.

You know those cock suckers are kissing OS/Ian ass. Everyone thinks that if they suck enough dick that EA will hire them.

Sorry I didn't mulit-quote

 

[JOHNNYTHECLOWN]

So if you look on the bright side of this shitstorm, you're an EA homer?

Can't I just be optimistic ?

Anyway - someone said that the developers leaving EA for facebook game company is a huge down step... but what you don't realize is how much money those fuckers are banking in with micro-transactions... Take 20 bucks, 4 times, to refill coins/points/whatever the fuck you wanna call it..

dumb bitches letting their baby drown over FB, i'm sure there are some fucktards droppin paychecks on Farmville

I'd like to play NFL on the PS3, in '12 - can't stand everything about NCAA, the way they market it, the fact i have to download some overweight slob's roster just so I don't have QB #12... gtfo here
