You don't build a penthouse suite on the top floor before building a ground floor with all working electrics and plumbing. EA's problem is that they're insistent on their engine and pro-tak type ideas as a foundation, and a stable working foundation, when it's not at all. Why they spend so much time on cosmetics as a way to give fans an 'authentic' NFL look.

You do realize there is more than one person on the dev team right?

To be on topic, I would prefer to see players on the sidelines than cheerleaders. Maybe coaches yelling or talking... Or Tom Brady acting like he is roided up screaming at people on the bench.

Cheerleaders are okay I suppose... but focus on FOOTBALL would be nice.

C'mon guy...this is already in the game. What's the addition of cheerleaders going to hurt? We already know when to expect talk about gameplay (4/28), so why not enjoy this for what it is: an addition to the NFL atmosphere.

I do, and I do understand what you're saying. Simply, I'm saying EA should be focusing more on the nuts and bolts of football. Look, I know EA's vision of "Madden" is as a pick-up and play arcade style gameplay, and polishing the presentation/cosmetics to give an 'authentic' gameday experience. But those two concepts don't mesh.

Sure, EA wants to maximize sales/profit by roping in the casual gamers too. But the real tragedy in all this, in the monopoly of the license, the lack of competition, is football itself. I want to play simulation football with next-gen graphics. All other gaming genres have seen huge technological advancements, except football. That's the biggest shame. I commend many things EA does with Madden, but mostly I commend what NM did with the Euphoria engine. Once people saw that initially, everyone knew that's what we'd been waiting for forever. Unfortunately, NM has only established a foundation. If one could have the Euphoria engine, Madden cosmetics and 2K Sports simulation aspects....that would be to die for.

To date, no company has embraced those three things. When one of them does, they'll own the market.

I can't see this as being any different than the cheerleader clips that have been in NCAA for years.

To each his own. I know I am being a pouter, but it is rather disheartening to know we will see hand towels and cheerleaders added into the game. But when it comes to other things like 2D players facing the wrong way on the sidelines or santa claus in September... nvm...

You're right. Cheerleaders are nice.... As long as they make sure to NOT include them for Cleveland, since we don't have any.

NFL2k5 and ALLPRO2k8 has cheerleaders, nothing big here. Im hoping they finally get a halftime show and done correctly in the game.
