Alright lets just drop the whole race thing.

At the end of the day its all about the details man

Nobody is attacking you don't want you to feel like you are

Yeah I'm not trying to attack anyone. It was just a bad choice of words.

Lol yeah those q&a ign questions on Xbox one was just awful. The interviewer asked like ten questions about gamer tags and avatars.

No.

It's against our TOS and should have been dropped awhile ago.

People are actually trying to help out.


Now, lets drop it.

And while we're at it. Lets stop debating the moot point of tattoos all together. It's been discussed ad nauseam over the years here and nothing is changing.

Then they listened to fans that disliked the arcade ping pong nature of FIFA 13 and added a level of realism I honestly didnt think EA was capable of. The reason behind all this, the little guy Konami kept putting out a gameplay first focused game and despite the fancy licenses Konami's game was constantly a thorn in EA's side so they worked to make their game better. The issue with Madden is that they will try something and then people complain about it not being fully executed and instead of taking their lumps and working on it for the next year they usually end up cutting it and starting over with something else. It really seems like when left to their own evaluations they can not for the life of them determine what fans want. Look no further than the 40% drop in year over sales that Madden experienced. And that is with no other NFL game out there.

fair enough, lets just narrow it down to tiburon then

Look at it from EA business model. EA makes the perfect football game that everyone has been dreaming of for 15 years. Then the next year they have the same perfect football game again with new rosters.

How long will it take people to start saying "Oh this is the same "perfect" football game again with a roster update."

I want sim and realism as much as anyone and EA could make a better product if they chose to. Unfortunately they come out with this every year so why make it perfect. How can you top perfection next year?

The only answer I see is make the game as great as possible and release the next version at least 3 years later.
