never had so many mixed feelings about a new madden ever

[cowboysfan440]

every year im always really excited for madden and i am again this year the game looks great on the field and seems to play very well other than soft man coverage but this year something just feels different. madden 10 was the best madden in so long i really thought we were finally gonna get back to the level that it used to be on the old systems in every aspect of the game after 10 ive been able to ignore the fact it took 4 years to get back to approaching basic level on the 360/ps3 and ive always ignore those people that would bash ea to no end on here but sometimes ea doesnt give them much of a reason to say otherwise like all the extra money they want people to pay for some of the most useless things i can imagine madden ultimate team is a JOKE how that got a higher priority than franchise mode and those coins to buy boost and scouting reports what happened to actually playing the game well got you coins and if not that just leave all of that crap out of the game.

theres way to much emphasis on holding new players hand during games its insane but if there was just some sort of mode where you could go to learn how to play hmm what could it be oh yeah thats right its PRACTICE MODE EA let them learn there kinda what its there for stop with this crap and wasting time devoted to them and ignoring the gamers that supported the franchise for so long. you have let the cornerstone of madden the franchise mode become a barebones mode and the reasoning for not updating it enough is because your data says people don't use it enough well its kinda hard right now considering how awful it is and ian was just disputing this way of thinkin in the q&a il post on here for you. saying they simply just think thats why people arent playin online/offline franchise.
i wish i could say im not buying the game but i will because i NFL but i cannot until some real competition comes back to finally have the exprience we've all been waiting over 5 years now for i know i sound ike a 2k fanboy right now and im far from it i would defend madden and the devs like no other until this year i liked 2k and their games but always felt madden was better but i dont think it will ever be as good as they used to be until they have to be.

sorry for the run ons there its late and im tired i could say alot more but i doubt it will do any good anyway

heres the link i mentioned and the quote i was talkin abut is at the bottom of page 2 when they ask about on/offline franchise

Hey dude... Who do you think the Cowboys are going to beat in the superbowl this year?...haha nah just playing. I feel ya man. Theres always gonna be a bunch of b.s. I'm holding off all my judgement to till the game drops but I feel your pain. I think everybody that comes on websites like this LOVE video games and they just want to see the best game in there eyes and they get sick and tired of seeing b.s. every year. But the game looks good and I should enjoy it a lot. I'm not gonna bash ea. I think they do a good job. But theres always gonna be the b.s. unfortunately.

i agree with u on ur point about ultimate team. i dont understand how this game is supposed to be an NFL experience when the mode that got more attention then an actual franchise mode was a virtual football card game.

with little improvements to the "real" NFL experience i wont buy this game for the first time in 9 years. It bothers me because I always get so excited to see the improvements to madden year to year. last year i was freaking out at how improved the game look and this year my reaction to every blog was yeah wtv.
