This is what I always wondered too, do they play there own game and say 'yep this is a good simulation of what I watch on Sundays' with a straight face. And Im guessing they dont play any other sports game other then Madden becuase then they would see just how far behind they are.

No disrespect to the EA/madden team because I really do think they do the best with what they are given to work with and I do believe they stand behind their product. Ian Cummings said it all in that podcast alluding to the fact that often as a developer/producer their creative hands are tied.

AJ Dembroski would disagree heavily.

Years ago when Ian was with EA he came on the boards and said they were working on the best tackling engine ever done, he also wanted feedback on what we liked so much about NFL2k5. well long story short I was quite surprised by how little he knew about what 2K5 had accomplished years prior. He even made a joking comment about being good not knowing much about the game being an EA guy. but he really didn't know what they had accomplished with their game.
Protak was the engine he was cooking up at the time. which didn't come remotely close to his claims but I really feel he thought 2K was only attaching a second player to the animation. no knock on Ian, I respect the guy and what he tried to accomplish but I think it does speak to some of the issues.

As far as coach glass is concerned for me, "aint nobody got time fo' dat". But it looks like a cool feature if it's something you are interested in. Maybe if online play isn't cheesy SOMEDAY yea sure maybe I would give it a go. But until that day comes which seems far, far away right now, ill pass.


Game LOOKS better than any of the other recent videos I've seen. Still nowhere even close to the gameplay vids from E3, but better. My expectations have truly been tempered over the past couple weeks which is unfortunate but it is what it is. I'm getting the game for 9.99 so Im gonna give it a shot and if it feels the same, im gonna have plenty other games at launch to move on too. Simple as that.

I love the concept. But once I heard your guys say, "look at the blades of grass", I couldn't stop laughing and the rest of the piece was just a blur. I'll have to look at it later.

I'm sorry.. but if they said the footage was madden 15 for 360 I wouldn't think twice. After seeing what textures and lighting current gen can achieve (gtav)... I don't know how they can call this next generation graphics.

Seems like a cool little feature. One person use the controller, another can use the tablet and play offensive and defensive coordinator. Shocked it is only for Xbox one. It's good for me though.

Since when is this on current gen? It has to he since they used curr... Oh wait.

Wouldn't know anyways since I didn't buy it
