Seems like there is a lack of info...

[Stampede_94]

With a little over a month left to go before the release of MADDEN 13' I am a little concerned about the enthusiasm for their own product.

I am sure we will see something hit soon enough, but I also think EA is beginning to realize the hype machine isn't working as much anymore. Sure people will buy the game because it's Football and we all love the NFL, but they aren't shoving a ton of info at us like we used to see. My thoughts are that they are waiting to drop a bomb of amazing info on us, or just taking it for granted we are going to buy it regardless thanks to the exclusivity.

The "amazing" info came out around June and during E3. The hype machine is working as it always has.

I am not holding my breath for an updated/awesome NFL experience. They always manage to treat us like underprivileged kids. "you get what you get, and you appreciate it".

We already know everything. My goodness, early June comes and people are "concerned" and "worried" that the info isn't out soon enough. Now we know everything, and we're "concerned" because of a lack of info?

Really? Because I just spent the past two days being very critical of EA, Tiburon, and Madden in this thread: The more videos I watch, the less I seem to see the impact of the Infinity engine

How many of my posts did you actually read? Look, I think your angle is extreme, and I question how in one fashion you say "I don't trust these guys!" and yet you want info from them. Excuse me, but doesn't that sound just a bit odd? Why are you buying their product if you feel the way you do?

I deleted this after you last post, but you continue to beat a dead horse. I ready your last post and came back here to delete this kindly.

I buy the game or "obtain it' because I WANT TO play an NFL game, I have hopes that this game will be great, but sure as all after the shiny polished demo with amazing player models, you get to your lower market teams and see Nothing has changed. You then start to see that another year, another big slap in the face to the rest of the NFL.

There isn't much to put out other than Screens or player ratings.

Once the demo comes out then the hype/speculations will go back to full force until the game releases.

honestly, if you haven't seen much madden news then I'm guessing you don't have twitter? Everything is pretty much funneled through twitter now. I see posts and quick updates every day about madden on twitter, whether it is from the official Madden twitter account, or accounts owned by the dev team. Times are changing, internet connectivity is now front and center, as it should be. I would assume 90%+ of video game buyers are connected to the internet, and WANT increased connectivity to play with their friends over the internet.

The info timeline is pretty much the same as it has always been

From e3 til now is always dead. Then the player ratings come out, then the demo, then the playbooks.
