Not buying it. Too be completely honest iv'e bought every Madden since 93. Then when we got to next gen they decided to stop delivering the best product they could to us every year.

Iv'e given them hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and, I feel that myself and others who have been playing the game that long is owed a little bit of something.

This is the first year i'm truly disappointed in Madden. I won't go on some tirade about how they're the worst people on earth or that they don't try when making their games, but, just some of the things I see.

It just seems like this year they decided to take a year off. I respect you for supporting the game you enjoy playing, nothing against you for that at all.

I KNOW some things weren't produced as once was foretold but I really don't remember Ian saying canned animations were a thing of the past.

"It's not just a bunch of people attactching and tackling a guy". That's exactly what it is!

playing ncaa, it seems the defense contains mobile quarterbacks pretty well. that's playing on the second to highest difficulty setting, however. still, if you're able to break to the sidelines like that on anything higher than pro, then this game is worthless. i wish people wouldn't upload vids of lower difficulty settings because questions like these may not need to be raised.

Oh how I will love playing with my Broncos this year.

You know that this is a discussion forum right?

fair enough.....I used to be a 2k fanboy myself....but I can't play 2k5 on my ps3 and the game has run its course (in my eyes) so I embrace madden....its my only option for NFL gaming.

Still, whether they said they would work on it or not, franchise is still no anywhere near what it was in last gen. They have had 6 years to put a good franchise in. There is NO excuse for that and it is a valid complaint. Current Engine limitations have NOTHING to do with Franchise and other features. If the Engine is so broken and limited that they could not do anything with it over the last 6 years, then what have they been doing? other than removing a bunch of things that were in the game on the PC and last gen?

You keep telling yourself that, buck-o...

Ironically, Madden 11 elected to neglect that crucial aspect of being a sports fan by leaving franchise mode broken.

What's not to get? We all have choices in life and when it comes down to Madden, this applies, as well. Now, if you read what I originally wrote then seen what that person said in response, your remark, logically, shouldn't have come off your finger tips in context to what I wrote. You let your emotions get the best of you then you jumped into a "conversation" only taking a portion of what was said to add your own 2 cents to.

Nice catch but it still doesn't speak to what what's his name said in response to my original post. Nothing said about eliminating canned tackling animations or adding real physics. Ian said, "It ends up giving you a lot more of a more physics based feel". He didn't say real physics are there.

Again, not saying that the vid is not out there, but that vid provided didn't prove other dude's point, at all. If it is provided, I will concede the point.

The game isn't even where it was at 6+ years ago, or where the competition was at 6+ years ago. That deserves a huge SMH.

mostly agreed....but I don't think they EXPECT you to accept their product....look, they can only do so much...the dev team has to answer to marketing et al---so they pick their battles and go forward.

side bar----

i think next-gen sports as a whole has been a major letdown...

......2K has been an absolute joke with the baseball license on next-gen...(the last 2 years of which have been from the same dev house as NFL 2k5).

it will be interesting to see if 2k can get the license back AND what they do with it.

# 69 adamgod8 @ 06/19/10 10:55 AM

Imagine that the dev team reading all the complaints....

...and then reading the Maddenites trying to defend their game by telling people that point out issues just to not even buy the game and stay away from it....

pretty sure that is the very exact opposite of what they'd want

There should be almost no interaction between the two. Franchise and other features like it should have nothing to do with specific coding for specific game console. A higher level language will compile down to the specific machine language. The only coding that should have anything specific to a game console would be the real time computations, and real time graphics. Franchise doesn't fit into either of these. It wouldn't, shouldn't be coded to the specific machine language buck-o. There is no reason to have gone 6+ years and not have the franchise depth that Madden and other competitors had 6+ years ago. buck-o. You can say buck-o all you want, it doesn't change that what I've said is true.

I have to agree with this even if i wish it were said with a little more tact.

Funny thing is the person Bucky was quoting says we have a choice, when we indeed have NO choice. If we want current NFL football in 2010 we only have ONE choice or no football at all. Those are our choices. I wouldn't even be upset at that if they prioritized better.

And for those making comparisons to the show..saying the show is just as 'flawed' (which is laughable), If madden were 1/5th the game the show were i would be ecstatic.

shoot we haven't even been able to upload our own rosters yet in madden...

Aye that's the last thing the madden team wants for sure.

I'd have to disagree. It is a matter of personal opinion, but with every other major next gen sports game you don't have people looking back to last gen fondly wishing those games would get back just to where they were then. The Show is often viewed as the best baseball game to date. NBA2K is looked at similarly in terms of basketball. EA's NHL series the same. Both FIFA and PES are way beyond their last gen counterparts if what I read is correct. Fight Night. Etc. The main title lagging behind are the Tiburon football titles, pure and simple.

Even titles that disappointed early on like MLB2K and NBA Live introduced innovative features and had returned to respectability (MLB with it's right stick pitching, realtime presentation which The Show picked up on doing, revolutionary commentary/presentation, NBA Live with it's Synergy work, movement/control). Madden/NCAA have done nothing that can be looked at as innovative this generation. Pro-Tak isn't even up to what was done in 2K5 & APF, let alone Backbreaker. Commentary - not even worth mentioning. Six years in and we still don't know if they'll be able to come close to matching what was done in 2K5 in terms of presentation. Just so many holes and places where the game has been a letdown. Again, I think M11 is looking like a respectable game - but it depends on where the individual's expectations are. Because it's ridiculous it's still lagging behind older, more disadvantaged football games in key areas.

I agree for the most part, though MLB 2k is nowhere near where it should be regardless of any pitching mechanisms. Its 100% worse off than Madden at this point, I can assure you of that. I will draw comparisons though, MLB 2k's next gen run and Maddens next gen run have been similar. Mired in broken features, false hope by developers, an ever changing direction in gameplay. I do believe Madden is better. At the same time though, 2k switched developers, producers and there has just been a lot of turmoil with the behind the scenes and Madden didn't have the same amount.

# 74 splff3000 @ 06/19/10 01:47 PM

Wow!! lol

And that was against the Vikings!!! Imagine what Tebow would do against my Raiders!! That's why I'm not buying the game. I know I'd never beat the Broncos as long as Tebow was playing.

All joking aside, I know that things have gotten bad cause I'm seeing people who are usually optimistic about Madden say they are not getting the game. Now whether they do or don't is not the point. The fact that they would even say it shows how far Madden has fallen from grace. I really don't know what to say. These past few weeks have a surreal feel to them in regards to Madden. It's just very hard for me to believe that they would tell us they skipped on franchise this year to put out what we just saw ............... and keep a straight face. If punk'd still came on, I would think that the show is in cahoots with the dev team to pull the biggest prank ever in history. This is really unbelievable at this point.

When I made my mind up that this was gonna be the first year ever that I wasn't gonna buy Madden, I thought it was gonna be a hard thing to do. I was telling my self that I'm gonna have to stick to my plan and not cave in. Well EA is making it a lot easier to pass on this years Madden. It seems like every announcement that's made, every vid that's shown, and every article that's written about Madden, pushes me farther and farther away from purchasing the game. I seriously thought that I wasn't gonna be able to do it, but after seeing these vids and after me and my boys played the NCAA demo to 4AM, I'm pretty confident in my plan to just stick with NCAA this year.

# 75 rckabillyRaider @ 06/19/10 01:55 PM

I don't know but this year I am very underwhelmed by what I am seeing. I remember last year I was more excited when I saw the videos. This year ....not so much. Looks much like an arcade game to me and all the broken tackles is ridiculous. NCAA 11 on the other hand is looking good and the demo even plays pretty solid. I guess we have to wait for the Madden demo.

the replay sure does show it. Around 0:54

Yea, it's like Tebow is gliding as he moves forward like a ghost or something, LOL. Watch on his bounce as he stops backpedaling then he moves forward as if he was pulled by something, without moving his legs or anything. It's really really bad.

# 78 Gotmadskillzson @ 06/19/10 06:06 PM

Tebow is going to be the next Vick on Madden. I can see it now. People going to pick the Broncos, call shotgun plays and just run 97% of the time with him. I remember people did the same thing with Vick and Falcons years ago.

We as consumers are being mislead at this point, that in itself is a whole 'nother argument. I'd rather just stick to the game at hand. And considering how much I love the NFL buying another game isn't really an option for me...You should really try and get off your high horse. I tried to explain i'm not trying to bash madden at all, just expressing my frustration, and this is the first year i've ever done so. So please refrain from the "go away, blah blah, etc." my opinion is just as entitled as yours.

KensaiKatai and that is why he deserved to be ignored. Telling the consumer to stop complaining. That is so played out already , and corny.

The forum is to voice your opinion whether it is positive or negative, and if he does not like to read negative threads, then he should leave.

Did you really men what you said???? So it is ok to purchase a broken product?

EA does owe the consumer something. A solid product. lol Jesus man do you think they will sell well if they keep putting out a bad product???

How can you lose sight from the fact that this is something that has to be purchased, and if the consumer is not happy with it. EA must correct it , or in the end they will lose out, so yes they owe us a solid product for our hard earn money.
