Madden NFL 10 Community Day

[Tailback U]

mgoblue has a point. since EA has done these community events all we ever here from our fellow community members is the upcoming game is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

then, we receive the game and it becomes a coaster within a month and the game is utter garbage to some and most would agree isn't up to snuff.

i've developed the i'll believe it when i see it myself approach with anything from ea. i read the info from ea, i read the impressions from our community "leaders", i rent the game and decide for myself whether to keep/purchase or to return it in the mail.

You've already said this about 10 times now. We get it, you aren't believing anything until you play the game.

But I'm willing to bet you'll just keep on repeating yourself over and over again because you want to make sure everyone knows how you feel (even though everyone already does).

*doodles on a notebook* ...and how does that make you feel?

Glad to see another Raiders fan on the site. :rockwoot:

zulu! This is BleedSCRed/MM Bleed/Omar from MM. I started the HOT over here but it never took off. Think we need you to get it going, we got a pretty decent Raider base here. Glad to see you made it.

 

[adembroski]

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.

Okay, I'm going to apologize for snapping on you because I should have considered that, based on EAs history, your assumption was a safe one. You don't have to believe me, but I cannot emphasize enough how much different this team of developers is.

I am the only person that was there that could have been said to be pro-EA, and even that's a bit of a misinterpretation. I'm pro-Phil Frazier/Ian Cummings design team.

Each of the others were brought in specifically because of well thought out criticism of the game. The first thing Ian did when we got there was a power point presentation featuring specific posts that were critical of Madden that we'd made. Yes, even me (admittedly, he had to dig farther for mine... but then, Madden 09 wasn't good enough to spend any time posting about it).

PS: The reason they invited people from OS is because that's where they post. They post there because that's where the traffic is highest.

 

[dave]

They invited people from OS because guys over there say what they want to hear. No matter how bad the game is those guys never say anything to out of line.

That's a load of shit.
I've been banned twice from OS.

I defy anyone to find any post I've ever written that kissed anyone at EA's ass.

Hell, one of the guys at the event pulled out a copy of NFL2k5 and said "If your game doesn't measure up, I'm putting this in the 360."

I'm so sick of this crap about how all eight guys there were a collection of EA Sports shills.

You should know me better than that by now Houtz ... and I'm cocking my fist to punch you through the computer screen for that accusation.

 

[TimsGiants]

I just hope Dave didnt get EA to add any cpu do everything non manual things to the game:tongue:

pretty cool deal though I like the direction EA is going and I know Adem and Dave to be good critiques. Hopefully your inputs makes it better game.

 

[killgod]

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

No, seriously, fuck you.

I think where mgo was coming from... and I did feel the same way when I saw the guy make his comments was whoever said something like this..


"Madden has always been awesome for me, now it's going to be even better"


Instantly when someone says Madden has always been awesome, their credibility becomes negative 47. You, me, the current Tiburon team, everyone on this forum......pretty much everyone except the game reviewers will tell you that Madden next gen has been everything but awesome, all 4 versions of them. (Maybe some people think 09 is, and I can accept that because 09 was alright but the previous 3 were 100% trash)

Tell me I'm wrong?


So when someone starts off saying something like that, I can understand why someone would feel that person is a EA ass kisser.

They should have people testing the game like myself or big gene to clean up the game of exploits.

 

[dave]

I actually agree with that.

 

[adembroski]

I agree as well. But not entirely... 2 of you, 6 of who was there.

The whole group was just awesome. I look at the feedback I provided and, compared to what the other guys have sent as follow ups, I'm just shocked at how not ready I was for the event compared to them. I still think I gave useful feedback, but The Watcher, BezO, and LBzrule were prolific.

Do you think the fact that you don't play online much might have to do with it at all?

I feel like there is a huge gap between online players and franchise players.

With what? Skill?

I'm a franchise guy... that was supposed to be my primary focus, but franchise mode was very unstable in the build we played, so while I looked at stats, logic, draft, etc.., I didn't get a chance to really test it over multiple seasons.

LBzrule and Dave are both exclusively online players. I said to them what I said to you (how much better it seemed like those guys' feedback was)... Phil's response was, "You have some self esteem issues, bud.", and Ian's was "Everyone had great feedback, yours was the most well rounded." so maybe I'm being too critical of myself anyways

We weren't able to get into online at all. That they held back from us. Toward the end of the night we started getting into a long speculative argument as to whether there'll be online franchise (for the record: If there is, I'll turn into an online player pretty damn quick!).

 

[Aso]

If there is online franchise I'm joining one as the Chiefs (I am a Raiders fan but do not like to play as them in madden very much).

You will. Asomugha is amazing.

 

[Aso]

Yea with better man to man he should be able to shut down almost any receiver one on one. I might just join two, one as Raiders and one as Chiefs. I am pretty sure they will put this in though.

I beat him a couple times with Fitzgerald. Anybody else, I couldn't' even go that way.

That is great to hear, make me happy.
