New Innovative Madden On The Way

How many times are they going to try this Madden on Wii experience before they realize it just doesn't work? Maddens core audience is not on wii.

I believe the NFL contract requires they put a game out on every system though. So they have to figure something out.

New innovations= madden 10 wrapped in a 2011 box with updated rosters. An o yeah a patch coming soon. What a joke!

"Innovative" and "Madden" being used in the same sentence? Didn't think I'd live to see the day.

I'll believe it when I see it.

"New take on Madden" sounds to me like another arcade-type game, I really don't see EA doing
anything to drastically change Madden after years of releasing the same thing. They paid big money for that NFL license and it's just not financially reasonable to also spend a lot of money improving or changing the game.

Anybody else tired of the Wii f-ing things up for the other consoles? Seems to me like they always get a crappy knock-off version of the games we get, almost like a waste of development talent.

Probably best to wait on making statements like that. I've seen BB and played it briefly.

How about just tightening up the game they already have?

Jeez…they took a big step in the right direction this year and are gonna now try more "innovation"? To me, adding more innovation = stretching resources too thin, whether it's on the Wii exclusively or not.

Just focus on Madden NFL 11 being the best it can be.

Pasta, how come you didn't mention that EA also disclosed higher than expected LOSSES (almost double the forecasted amount) during the investor call? The EA CEO also mentioned "disappointing" sales for Madden 10.

If it was 2k, you'd have it in the headline.

Hypocrite.

You're right. Maybe they're losing GOBS of money because they grossly overpaid for the exclusive license to put their competition out of business, and hire designers who can't figure out how to get the football to spin the right way. You know, the same designers who wouldn't know a realistic TV broadcast replay angle if it bit them in the ass.

They are likely just going to add back a feature that madden once had but they have since removed.

"designers who can't figure out how to get the football to spin the right way"-Keith.

That line was classic man you had me cracking up.

You know a lot of times companies get so big they forget where they came from and have hard time backtracking or just making simple adjustments. The exclusive NFL deal is hurting Madden because people are expecting so much more and we do not have any other alternative. Just imagine if McDonald's had the sole rights to cheeseburgers, well people would complain that they don't make them like Wendy's or Burger King use to before they were granted the exclusive rights. I think it would be a good business approach to be relived from the exclusivity of the deal and and go back to a grassroots competitive spirit. Madden will still be the dominate name but it would give people the ability of choosing them over the competition instead of choosing them because they are the only competition. People love choices and hate monopolies……..but heck what do I know

Typical EA Sports, always talking a good game, and always making a shit one.

EA will put more effort into attempts to prevent Backbreaker having a full edit mode than doing anything with Madden even remotely close to innovating. I fully expect to see them running to their lawyers when Backbreaker makes Madden look like poo on a stick, something my old copy of NFL 2K5 has been doing for half a decade.

Think we should just wait and see what this means. While I was kinda worried about them getting the guy that did the Midway sports games w/ him saying that he's going to try and make the game fun for various people, it doesn't necessarily mean that he'll put in Madden 09-like features.

But yeah… just gotta wait and see how things end up.

They should just bring back the NFL quarterback challenge. I can see the white football peripheral now.

I used to love playing those games back in the day.

EA needs to focus on one aspect of football and apply the WII motion capabilities to it. Football in its entirety will never be fun to play by flapping your arms around the living room.

If EA want to see any kind of football success on the WII, they'll use the Madden name to make another QB challenge game.

Its gotta be better than boring, stale animations. i like the idea of a different looking tackle every time. More realistic.

So, the game voted # 1 by EA fan-boys and brain-dead people alike on this site admits that they need to be more innovative and that the game is stale. Totally not a surprise. I just wish people could be more truthful Madden lives because they eliminated the competition and no other reason. Madden is a garbage representative of Simulation football. As I have stated in the past the came should be called Madden Offense because there is no defensive focus. Here is a idea EA, focus on defense that would be innovative.

I love when game developers use the term "innovative". They just seem to set themselves up for failure. Half of all things innovative that are in the gaming industry or else where are met with alot of criticism. I hope its something related to Natal and not just an add on to Madden 11. I hope they learn when they try to accomplish to much with Madden all they do is come up short in areas that should be handled early in developmet. Like the little things people crack at like the way the ball spins and replay angles.
Mainly i hope whatever they do that Madden gameplay is much improved. I could care less about roster updates as long as the gameplay is perfect on release day.

I'm hoping it relates to the PC version. There is so much untapped potential in PC games (online leagues). Madden is overdue for a quality PC game.

Problems with Madden 2010

1. Why in the world would guys like Matt Ryan a 97 overall franchise QB in his mid 20's be a free agent? in all my franchises Matt Ryan and other great young franchise players become free agents around year 5. This needs to be fixed.

2. In franchise mode when you fire your head coach, no matter what team you are and hire a new head coach who isn't one of the 32 already in the league as head coaches are always called Jim Mora Jr by the guys doing commentary. So if I hire Russ Grimm, Leslie Frazier, Mike Martz, etc… any of those guys will be called Jim Mora Jr during the game.

3. Rookie ages. When I import NCAA draft classes into Madden some rookies come out 25 years old, that's insane. Why not let us edit rookies so we can fix this?

4. No practice squad? its 2010 and we still don't have this? wow.
