Gamestop begins Madden Mondays blog

Oh goodie gum drops, another lame gimmick added to madden. Just stick to the basic of football and little thing that aren’t in the game. Like refs on the field during plays, field goal nets, etc, etc………..

Because field goal nets are necessary to making a good game keep complaining about that for years but of course don’t accept new and better game modes.

fumble pile-ons,FG nets,FG blocks,referees,bobbled catches,bad snaps,gadget plays,stat overlays,ESPN presentation,etc.etc.etc……..

Fumble pile-ons, would either end up being a button mashing competition or wouldn’t work when the ball falls out some guy jumps on it, what is the point of everyone jumping on top giving an unfair advantage not knowing who will have possession.

FG Nets – Are you serious?

FG Blocks – Go call the play FG block, and run at the kicker when they snap it.

Referees – Not sure but I believe that guy on the field who reviews the plays and makes the penalty calls is a ref.

Stats – Do show up online such as in the red zone, ect. could have more though as touchdowns and big plays were made.

ESPN – Has radio, should have TV this year like Live had, has scores, will have announcers this year.

what do you think the yellow line is?

hey birthday boy do you need a hug today?

I am trying to help you on the features that you have missed out in Madden 08. Sorry if I was not clear enough.

Da Birthday Boy doesnt need a hug. It’s just his typical behavior. He thinks he runs the site and knows it all, just like he thought he did in the NCAA, and MLB threads.

And I remember he called everyone out in NFL Tour and got his ass handed to him.

Sorry that I help out answering questions due to the fact that Pasta can’t answer them all, please show me what I know about NCAA and MLB. Once again, I’m sorry for clarifying the features that are already in the game and not wanting to move on to the new ones.

FG blocks in the game only come from rushing from the outside. What about the big guys upfront that occasionally get their paws in the right spot? And I’d like to see refs ON THE FIELD like the good ole days of 2K5…which also had all kinds of reverses and other gadgets (trick plays) that Madden refuses to use but rather implements nano blitzes and other $$$ plays. And do you not see fumble pile-ons when you watch NFL games b/c 75% of the coughed up balls I see don’t get magnetically scooped up EVERY TIME!

…and yes FG nets are as nice to see as anything else.

Reverses are more of college plays, and there are trick plays in the game, they try to actually go play the playbook/style of the team. Yeah it would be nice to see them all jump for the ball but I don’t think it should be a random process that someone just comes out and has the ball.

it is just as random as it is in the real game. I don’t know if you have ever watched a ball in one guys arms at the bottom of a pile, only to have the refs pull guys off and someone else has possesion. I don’t even want to know what goes on down there! IF IT’S IN THE GAME…IT’S IN THE GAME, right?!

Alright I’ll let Phil Frazier know to put this in, but really I’m sure aspects of the game will be in this year due to Frazier having worked on Madden in the past, and they do realize what people want. Just keep a look out on the new features if there’s a new one every week, then that’s a big deal.

I really like this feature of having celebrations especially for head to head games with friends in like the tournys i do with my friends. Ncaa 09 will be better then madden 09 again

Is Randy Moss wearing Nike cleats, or am I trippin? That would be sick if we could finally pick shoes on player editor like on Live.

You know it r00tabaga lets go Bills baby and hope they put our blue on blue jerseys in this year, I agree Devin Thomas with the 11th I smell playoffs this year!

[quote comment="17516"]Hey Pasta do you have any new info at all on the new madden, or is ea holding you back from letting us know this information at this time thanks bro[/quote]

Well outside of the Monday blogs on Gamestop I’d imagine there will be some things out next week (at the very least the cover athlete by the end of next week) and then the following week we’ll get some substantial previews. There will also be the rookie screenshots that go up on the site during the first round of the draft which I’ll work to cover also (I think I may do a live blog type thing during the draft). When I’ll be able to speak on the game is still up in the air.

They’re not letting much info out before the cover other than something like the celebrations news we got here.

Pasta you are the man thanks bro, and who do you think is gonna grace the cover this year? My guess a WR not sure who though.

I have some ideas, I’ll be doing a writeup on it by next week.

I know I’d rather see things like fluidity on the field and a realistic momentum system (like APF 2k8 has) than BS taunting animations.
