Madden 12 Virtual Playbook #2: Presentation

[PP]

Hackett, good work winning the 220 League when nobody even plays the game anymore. Probably why you enjoy this broken pos game because you are the top baller left playing that. lmao. fuckin scrub.

 

[hackett]

You are both a joke. Jake you suck at Madden period (keep on bashing it). PP you couldn't finish a league if your life depended on it. I play in two other Madden leagues that are 32 strong as well as KG's bb league that we all knew you wouldn't last for whatever reason given.
You can both FUCK OFF!

 

[leaffan]

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.

From Madden 02 to 04 I played in a PC sim league that had 30 active owners and was a blast to play. That league ended up folding after its 25th season of madden 04 because I think they hit the max number of years you could get in a madden file. The games were simmed once a week and ran just like the normal NFL. We would have a 3 week "offseason" mainly for everyone to get ready for the draft and free agency.

Madden 03 to 05 played in another PC league where we had 30 active owners and everything was playing. Worked really well, we even had the ability to broadcast our games using Windows media recorder and broadcasting it that way. Us guys with good internet connections were the only ones that could do it though.

Madden 06 I can't remember if it was out on PC or not but I had it for one of the consoles and didn't play it much due to work.

Madden 07 and on I've had a 360 and tried playing just offline and even online (playing with some of my old madden pc buddies) and the game just didn't have it. I've tried it pretty much every year from then on but I either play it at a buddies or i'll buy it when I see it used on sale somewhere. I honestly played it once or twice last year and after running a dive play where my running back trucked over two d-lineman and a couple linebackers I declared the game fucked and never played it again.

The leagues I played in were better then anything you've ever played it and I can guarentee you I played it a ton more then you ever did.

Of course I can finish a league, but why am I going to play in a league with a game that sucks? Enjoy your time in the sun because if EA ever fixes Madden and all the true players come back you'll be back at the bottom of the food chain.

What are you related to Maynard in the assumption department? I was about to thank you for your post until getting to this. How can you make a guarantee like that? You don't have a clue about me. Just ridiculous.

1. I'll believe it when I see it or if you can have someone back you up in saying you're a solid owner in leagues.

2. I will continue to enjoy my time in leagues no matter if I suck or not. If the game sucks, will not have an effect on me being committed to a league.

3. You will have to let me know what league it will be (doubt it will be the TGT). Have never been at the bottom of any league I've played in, but there is always the possibility of being beat.

Your an idiot for playing in a league even if you don't like the game.

 

[hackett]

:doh: Never said I didn't like it. Done with you, make me wanna :hammer:

 

[PP]

Cool. 220 champ 4life. lmao. Izzy would put 70 up on you. scrub.

 

[Aso]

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

I agree. They have Under Armour shoes now. Why wouldn't I buy it?

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

And by some logic unknown to me, Madden can never be this despite it being decent at certain points during it's 20 or so year franchise.

As you can see in Leaffan's comments, much like myself, we played a fuck ton of PC Madden during that era, it was pretty damn fun at one point.

And stop acting as if MLB is without problems, I could give you a fuck ton of issues with the game. Lets just ignore the vast online problems that they can't seem to resolve, piss poor offline GM AI, Free Agent 2013 bug, terrible repetitive and bland RTTS, horrible clipping, Tampa Bay bullpen crashses,....

Yeah, lets pretend MLB the Show has none of these issues and that 4-5 times the amount of people play Madden to the Show. :screams:

Not sure what last-gen has to do with current-gen. My point in the statement being, MLB plays well as a baseball simulation, while Madden still has glaring fundamental issues and inadequacies. Everything you pointed out wrong with MLB are non-gameplay related issues. I don't have a PS3 to say anything about any long lasting mode. I've only played it head-to-head and RTTS for a week's time. But I understand that it has it's issues, and it's a complaint in it's own. But has nothing to do with me bringing up the game.

The guys working on these "little things" have separate roles from the others working on gameplay, franchise, etc, but Madden is pointing some of these things out like they need to be. Like it's important. Like this is what's going to make me want to buy Madden come August 30th.

So because Madden 11 had fundamental issues, Madden 12 can't not have them? You've played the game?

You want some bullshit about MLB gameplay? How about online being completely fucking dead ball with the entire online community batting .150 throwing 20K's a game? How about the HR ratio of hits being through the roof? How about the entire lack of control over fielding and it being completely out of the players hands? How about the fact thats run right through each other besides two scripted animations? How about the fact that it took until patch 1.06 to fix the fact that the ball going off a fielders glove over the wall is a homerun? Agonizingly slow transition animations that will grant extra unearned bases? Quick stealing cheese? Quick pitch lag? Fastball is auto selected when someone goes to the bullpen online? New analog batting and fielding controls?


Is that enough for you? Or can we stop playing pretend now?


And can we stop acting like this is the only feature they've done? You're scrutinizing them because they have a specific blog on presentation? Seriously? Even after their first blog, was specific to gameplay?

This is moronic.

Because back during those glory years I was in college and then happily unemployed for a while after getting out of college and played madden a bitch load.

Compared to now where I'm lucky to get 5hours of gaming in a week I used to get like 40 to 50 hours a week in of just madden alone.

Respectable, I'll give you that and you do have me beat on the PC side as I have never played Madden on PC. Without going into depth though, I've been putting up pretty much the same amount of time into Madden over the past 10 years (minus 07-08).

Of course. I am not stupid enough to play a league just because when the game is broken/sucks.

...and according to you every game is broken and sucks.
