Madden NFL 10 Community Day

[adembroski]

how do you know? And I wouldn't have invited K he is a great player but no where near Elite like some of the others. He wins tournaments and MCs where the comp is low.......

He did. I can confirm this because, indirectly, I was the one who invited him

Someone couldn't make it, so they needed replacements. Ian asked me to suggest someone, so I mentioned KornStar as a guy who could find exploits quickly. Unfortunately he's not online as often anymore and the only way we had to contact him was through MM. He didn't get back to Raczilla early enough to make it.

What exactly must you do to be qualified to go to a Community Day event? If you have to be bitter towards EA for the crap they've been putting out, wouldn't we all have been there?

Hope things are as good as you say broski.

I was chosen for my obsession with franchise mode over the past 4 years. I worked on the Madden Manifesto and MaddenAmp in a relentless pursuit of Franchise realism, as well as my background in coaching offense.

LBzrule was chosen for his X's and O's knowledge, his understanding of defensive formations and techniques, and his ability to articulate those things.

KANE was chosen for his photographic memory for player equipment and obsession with making sure they're accurate.

BeZo and Dave were chosen because they'd both outspoken critics of Madden, but were fair minded and respectful in their criticism, not to mention thoughtful and intelligent.

The Watcher was chosen because he's a hard ass they knew wouldn't give them a break on anything. He actually showed up with a copy of ESPN NFL 2k5 and said, "if it sucks, this is going in for the rest of the night!"

Joborule was chosen because of his well-rounded approach and meticulous and well thought out posts regarding where the serious should go.

rgiles was chosen because he's a quiet evil genius.

Hopefully that announcement is as big as you say. We hear this same shit every year, how we'll all be blown away. Even if this game is good, I'll still say fuck EA because of all the highway robbery they've pulled over the years. Come August 14th, I'm still expecting a mediocre game, like always.

I hope I'm wrong, but the last 4 years make me think I'll be right.

 

[adembroski]

haha, that's awesome. To be invited by EA to come to an event to try and reach out to the community only to have them wave 2k5 in their face is hilarious. Most people would have just been happy to be invited and I liked how The Watcher took it upon himself to not back down on anything. Just for reference, which one in the video is he?

That guy. UNC football jersey.

Joborule= Broncos jersey
LBzrule= Ravens jersey
Dave=Eagles jersey
Rgiles= white polo with black stripes
BeZo= Red shirt with dark blue vest
Kane= Faux-hawk
Me= Cardinals jersey (stuck in a corner, they got like 1 5 second shot of me, and had to stand on a chair in a cubicle to get it)

Yeah, pretty much. I'm an ugly bastard, any more than that woulda broke the camera.

yeah whats up with no Pittsburgh love?

 

[Aso]

(1) How did the EA employee(s) who heard him (if any) react?

(2) Did he ever pop in a copy of ESPN NFL 2K5?

Both of those questions are answered in Ian's blog.

(1) It gave them a nice laugh

(2) No

No love for me going either...and I live in Orlando for Christ's sake...guess that's just too convenient...even after RAC teases me year after year about me coming to the studios to visit.

Your from MM, they don't want any real criticism. Just a bunch of tools saying, "Wow this is great, maybe you could guys do this or that to make it even better!!!"

Let me know when EA invites people to 'critique' their game who aren't just sucking up to receive their copy of the game a week early

 

[Archer]

Hes just said one of the people invited love 2k5 and said hed throw the game in if the 10 shit was bad.

HAHAHAHA, It just never gets old. You guys are so original.

No, seriously, fuck you.

 

[Aso]

mgoblue looks like a serious EA hater.

 

[mgoblue2290]

HAHAHAHA, It just never gets old. You guys are so original.

No, seriously, fuck you.

I'll start being original when EA starts being original.

 

[adembroski]

I'll start being original when EA starts being original.

I'm not going to defend EA for the past 4-5 years. I'm defending myself and the other 7 guys who were there that you insulted, each one of which went with the intent of ensuring the best damn football game possible, and each one of them represented as well as you could ever ask them too.

Go to OS, look up LBzrule, go through his 2 page posts with direct 2k5 comparisons telling Ian what he needs to do to make Madden just passable again. Find The Watcher, and just look at his sig. That'll tell you what you need to know about him. Take some time to find out who these people are before you start insulting them, eh?

Ok so two of them are against EA, thats great. I just highly doubt that these guys would actually say something right to EA about how the game has been a joke for a long time. Maybe they did something and if they did thats great.

I just find it funny EA only asked members of OS to come and not members from other Madden sites.

I have never been a Madden or EA cheerleader.
The last Madden I truly loved was 04.
I bashed Live constantly until this year, when I finally like it again.

Really? I actually though you liked Madden. Then again I did only visit the Madden section of MM a grand total of 12 times.

My bad adembroski, to me it justs seems like an EA move to only invite people who enjoy the game to get better publicity.
