Madden 12 Virtual Playbook #2: Presentation

[Irish]

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... bama:

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

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.

 

[leaffan]

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.

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.

 

[steeljake]

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

lol... the only one on a dick is you riding ea's. game play is crap, playbooks are lacking and let's not forget the amzing ball going through a defenders helmet for a touch donw. or how about 75 rated rb's breaking 20 tackles all due to button mashihng? or any of the overblown useless rating they have in the game that have zero effect on game play? josh freeman isnt a spec on tom brady's nut sack, but in madden he can make all the throws. how about the suction on tackles and skipped animations? i am aware that the video shows changes, but we have all been there before.

making changes to helmets and adding stripes to pants are great, and i will admit they are needed to make the game authentic, but can we get a game that is playable and can actually seed the playoffs correctly? or how about contracts and a cap that work? it isnt like we havent had these things before. you seriously need to get a breath mint cuz everytime you speak all we can smell is the sweat from Ian's sack.

And you will buy it anyways. Ian Cummings doesn't work for EA anymore fucktard.

so does that mean you have more quailty time with him now?

 

[hackett]

LOL.... I suppose so.

 

[Maynard]

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

they do this every year. they add some little BS things and hype it up to get people excited. what was it last year? the new run blocking or was it the pro tak thing? and every year the game sucks. remember the year davd ortiz was hyping the new features? look how that turned out.

now a days, marketing this shit costs almost nothing. and they got so many sites that jump all over the chance to interview these devs. So devs are not only developing the game, they also are the main sources for marketing the game. Nothing like paying 1 salary to do 2 jobs.

you guys are suckers if your buying into this crap

and the difference between Sony and EA doing little things hype is Sony already built a rep with great gameplay on the ps2 and carried it over to the ps3. EA has not had good gameplay at all on next gen. they have made gameplay that has been tolerated

 

[leaffan]

They should package the game with a team towel of your choice. That way you can waive it around in your living room and it'll be like you're in the stadium!

You do realize that MLB the Show is a fundamentally sound game, right?

 

[hackett]

Bashers! All of you! Do any of you actually play in at least one league or against guys off from your friends list? That is if you even have Madden.
