Once again, thanks for your valuable input. The patch did nothing to improve a majority of Madden&#039;s issues, but thanks for stopping by.

It&#039;s not about money for 95% of the folks here I&#039;d imagine. I can&#039;t imagine anyone who has a next-gen console would be all that concerned about shelling out money for a game. The only people that are concerned about money is the folks at EA who see their sales dropping despite being the only show in town.</description>

		<description>Someone wrote here Madden is all about online play.
Are you kidding?
This game is mediocre, at best, online ... and probably worse.

I&#039;m sorry, but Peter Moore is full of crap on this Metacritic thing.

If I had to guess, 20% of people who own next-gen Madden (hardcore players or not) like it. 30% tolerate it (I&#039;m in that group), and 50% outright hate it.

There really isn&#039;t a lot to like about next-gen Madden.

Features: C
Graphics: C-
Glitches: A+ (game is filled with them)
Online stability/connectivity: D
Online features: F
Offline franchise: F before patch; D after (because it&#039;s too late for many)

This is a very, very broken game no matter how these corporate heads spin it.

I know Pasta is in the uncomfortable position of having to be diplomatic with these putzes, but even he knows what a piece of crap Madden is. How do I know? He&#039;s on my buddylist and I&#039;ve never seen him play Madden once since week one.

FIX THE GAME!

MAKE IT FUN AGAIN!</description>

		<description>The other games you guys speak of have much longer development cycles than one year (yes, a lot of this code can be re-used, I admit).  Also, games of long ago weren&#039;t nearly as complicated.  

As it stands now, you have the need to add bigger features in a shorter time schedule - you have to pick and choose and take shortcuts (hence the bugs we continually see every year).  I wouldn&#039;t say the developers are lazy, I just think that it&#039;s a time vs. money vs. bang for the buck type of thing.  A 2 year development cycle would probably create excellent games, but the user base would be screaming for their updated versions and revenue would be cut roughly in half.</description>
