Finally a lively crowd, been waiting for this in a football game. Looking forward to this game.

Does basic troubleshooting not tell us the problem doesn't lie with the devs?

How many times have devs moved on since the game was good? Don't you think that maybe, just maybe the problem may well rest with people well above the devs who have a false perception of what might make a good game?

I highly doubt the out of bounds sidelines interactions are cutscenes. If they were Tiburon would've used the high res models like they do on current gen.

I agree somewhat, but it still doesn't explain the bad implementation and the numerous silly bugs. Or the head scratching omissions, like no head sets on the head coaches for current gen. I highly doubt a suit said "Hey no headsets on coaches! Save that for next gen......".

Thought that looked really good, actually.

I understand how some can be disappointed or upset, IMO the gameplay on the field is the only thing that matters to me.

Even with flaws on CG, I had fun with madden. With a real QB pocket, pass rush, and more player animations them I'm set.

So you're saying if the 2k devs/programmers who code the game who worked on the 2K series came to EA, the same issues will still persist such as silly bugs, lacking of fluid animations, lackluster presentation, and other features? You're saying if the programmers were different, we would have the same results?

I don't think so...

Now, on the other hand, I wouldn't put it past marketing.
