No shit.

This thread is making fun of the one that was started at operation sports....it was not meant to be serious.

This conversation has gone on quite the tangent, no?

Anyway, I'll add my 2 cents: you should never thank someone for doing their job. In this case, Ian and the devs' job is to make a realistic professional football videogame. They were hired and are paid by EA to make the game. The first few years of this current generation, they did NOT make realistic videogames and essentially were NOT doing their job.

This year, however, it appears that they have actually done their job. I can't be certain, because we've only played the demo, but I think from the opinions shared on this forum, many of us are pleased with their product. We won't be fully certain of this until we play the full retail version, but so far, the reaction is overwhelmingly positive.

But that doesn't mean we should thank them. We should merely compliment them and maybe even congratulate them on the fruits of their labor.

Thank you Ian.

And fuck all the rest of you bitches that cry about a shitty game but still put down your $60 to get it anyway.

Please understand... not everyone checks OS all the time. Hell, unless I'm pimping out a Demo Code trying to get some of those fucks to sign up over here I'm never on OS

I don't even go to OS at all, this thread was started in response to this thread:

Btw, is the thread on OS anywhere near as funny as this one?

^Btw, this is apparently supposed to be a sarcastic, humorous thread...

nope. this one just took on a life of its own.

A shame... Guess I won't be visiting that one.

I'll thank Ian when it's September and the game doesn't have youtube vids about all kinds of glitches
I'll thank Ian when it's October and I'm still enjoying the game as much as I did in August
I'll thank Ian when it's January, Super Bowl week and I feel an urge to play a game between the two teams
I'll thank Ian when it's June, I'm watching Madden 11 videos and NOT saying "this might be the year they get it right"
