I don't expect an honest answer to this question but why is it that companies keep trying to add all these new fetuers when the core game itself is sub par to games that were released last gen. Yes im talking about madden but really its 75% of next gen games as a whole. The second question is in no way a knock on your game or the madden franchise. But just a general question that I feel needs to be adressed at one point by someone who has a hand in this games. Second This is not meant to defend EA or any developer but if a company were to make the game we all want aka so real that we can't tell the difference between sunday and the game we are playing would it really be fun? With that said it still doesnt excuse the lack of solid gameplay out of the box and lack of options from last gen.

I don't really have an answer for either of these yet. I am working on it.

I'd be whipping out the thumb screws if I were Ian right now. The fact that nobody even mentioned this too him. There'd be corpses if I were him. Let him swing from the gibbet like this, it sucks.

Sim gaming...or at least...ATTEMPTS at trying to get a "sim experience" from a video game are slowly going by the wayside.

This isn't a knock on EA, but the fact that now they are "it" for football with no realistic competition due to owning the NFL license, etc.

Along with the mass marketing for little Timmy and his other 12 year old buddies who want highlight reel plays every snap....

Ugh.

Now, EA has taken away ANY chance for us Sim guys to actually make the game more sim.

We don't even have a choice now?! Really?

Unreal.

At least that is the strong impression I am getting from reputable people who have the game like Abner.

The only serious issue I hear is no CPU sliders..I think you are going overboard typical..

Ian, maybe you could give us some patch info to settle us down??

So you do realize that if the CPU run game is too weak or too strong...

If the CPU QB is too accurate or inaccurate....

If the CPU Pass Blocking is just a tad bit high or low....

You now have zero ways of improving that.

And you think folks are going "overboard" on hearing this?

On the pass blocking again I think you could address the human slider of pass rushing to tweak this.

But as far as I can tell, if you think the QB is too accurate, or maybe the CPU WR's are dropping too many (or not enough) passes...I don't know if there's a solution to that.

Keep in mind that there are new sliders that the human can adjust. I don't remember what they are right now because honestly, I have drank a 6 pack of Bud Light in the last hour. But they are listed in this thread somewhere.

Absolutely inexcusable.
