I'll maintain enough skepticism for all Of us

shocking

Madden cycle at work. Don't fall for it again!

you dont seem to understand the definition of cycle. there was no cycle last year or the one before. they didnt say shit about OF for Madden 11 or 12

 

[Mrbob]

Failing just like you did in our monopoly game!

The cycle is most of us getting excite about madden features and the game turns out a turd once more.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Will we be able to play scrimmages with our career teams? I don't think it mentioned it?

i havent been excited about madden features since the initial madden 10 OF. If you got excited about gameflow, thats your business.

 

[TheCrow]

info dump!

 

[Nightz]

I want to believe! Hold me.

 

[CB3]

 

[TheCrow]

Wellie will be shouting TIGER TIGER TIGER into our sound systems the whole game.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the kinect demo.

Talking about OF on the webchat. sounds very promising.

Seems like everything is in. Also seems like there is alot of flexibility in how you can run your franchise. Alot of options that hopefully can be turned on and off.

Dammit, late as hell!

 

[CB3]

This EA sports VP sounds like he knows what the fuck he is talking about. Thats refreshing

Everyone else gets to be a Coach, in Madden 13 DCX has to play corner

Holding Down A: The Game?

 

[Mrbob]

Edge just ethered the MS press conference:

http://www.edge-online.com/features/e3-2012-microsoft-press-conference-report

Now I really need to see this train wreck!

 

[Wellington]

I'm curious as to how exactly this will work. What if I'm the Saints, but I want to go with a power running offense? Will all the power backs be rated low on my draft board? Also, will it only be a differnt OVR that I see, or will all of the ratings vary between teams/coaches?

That said...all of this does sound pretty exciting...almost too good to be true!

Yeah, I'm curious too for exactly your same reason. I MUCH prefer a power running style, which the Giants don't necessarily favor anymore, for example. This is going to be interesting.

 

[DCX]

Holding Down A: The Game?

Never pressed A, try again.

DCX

 

[goldlion054]

Never pressed A, try again.

DCX

I don't think he was accusing you of it, I think he was just making fun of the option to have the D auto play for you by holding down A

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

dammit i thought it was at 3 so i went to go do some yard work and missed it. i want to believe what EA says!

please be true! save us from leaguemanager!

 

[CB3]

Whoa.

X Rated Ubisoft

You dont know AT well enough.

 

[McNei1y]

So you're telling me its a REAL FUCKING ONLINE FRANCHISE??!?

 

[eznark]

Far Cry 3 game of forever.

 

[goldlion054]

Far Cry 3 game of forever.

Virtual boobs

 

[CB3]

Boobies all over my screen

Censor the word fuck.

 

[eznark]

Virtual boobs

It was th only thing previous game of the forever, Far Cry 2, was missing.

 

[TheCrow]

Guess I'm buying far cry 3.

yes, mostly because of tits.

 

[McNei1y]

Also, aside from all of the necessary features for a franchise (like draft, salary cap, etc), I'm really pumped about the stats and potential feature. I'm assuming when they say "anyone can become a superstar" refers to how well a player does in a season. So if I have a shitty MLB rated 73 but he has like 6 sacks, 8 ints, and all those other juicy stats then I wonder if he'll jump up to a 80 something and junk.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

So you're telling me its a REAL FUCKING ONLINE FRANCHISE??!?

i don't want to celebrate yet until we get 100% confirmation that it is what we think it is but if it is then EA really went all out this year. we get full online franchise, improved passing, a semi-physics engine (nowhere close to back breaker but its something), dynamic ratings.... again too early to say but that NCAA guy coming over to madden seems to be the best thing to happen in years!

and madden has never been flat out shitty bob. it's just been very lean on features. no one can deny that it is enjoyable playing in the online franchise at gaf and no one can deny that the game lasts us basically from august to march/april/may in most years. sounds like u mad that jaime brooks is dead and gone! don't worry brother, i'm going to start The Jack English Support group to help people like us cope with the loss of a great fictional gridiron warriors

 

[CB3]

Im excited that they seem to have an actual fucking map of what they want to do going forward.

 

[McNei1y]

I see that they say 32 human players and junk but it would be a huge tease if we couldn't even play against eachother :lol

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

ive just gotten my hopes up too many times to only be let down! but the thing is, if they're saying offline/online franchise are seamless and connected, then what else could it be? because they sure as fuck aren't changing single player online franchise

 

[TheCrow]

I see that they say 32 human players and junk but it would be a huge tease if we couldn't even play against eachother :lol

Don't bring down my hype browski.

Its not. they have been making the connection to OF. This is it.

RIP Cooper Fitzgerald.

Time to take away dev's time from being able to talk to press on Wednesday!

 

[goldlion054]

That Avengers trailer was looking good, then they announced it as a Wii U thing. Fucking lame

It could just be a glorified fantasy football system brother.

Spoiler

just kidding its totally the OF we've dreamed about.

I haven't looked at anything E3 related today aside from Halo 4 and it has got me pumped as tits. Has there been any mention by EA about a new MLB game?

 

[TheCrow]

Even with all this CGI, Ubisoft is having the best conference.

 

[goldlion054]

I think FMT could have put on a press conference about how to keep your scat porn viewing/making fresh and it would have had less shit than Microsoft's. Ubisoft won by default

 

[TheCrow]

But think of the new game experiences we'll have when we're holding a tablet in one hand and a controller in the other.

 

[Splat]

So, everyone's going to use GameFace to make their own headcoaches, right? Like, as a rule.

 

[levious]

In Connected Careers, you can get fired as a coach or released as a player. If you are not hired or signed by the end of the offseason, we'll force you to retire your character. As mentioned above, you can always go back through and create a new character and keep going in the league.

who's nervous?

 

[McNei1y]

who's nervous?

I'm confused on what that means. I don't want to be a player. I want to be my team.

 

[TheCrow]

I will since I have it from fifa anyway.

who's nervous?

Livewire and uh... the jags owner, I guess.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I'm confused on what that means. I don't want to be a player. I want to be my team.

then you will choose mike shanahan? or create yourself as a coach to coach the redskins after you beat livewire
