Wait... Let me get this straight... You're using a youtube video to make an argument when Kwizzy showed you that, while, yes, the stock has dropped, it's also (and this is the most important part so I'm going to highlight it for you) WENT BACK UP. You know, like how the stock market works every day?
Oi. I fuckin' hate this time of the year SO much...

it went up at a very low percent, the people lost A LOT OF MONEY A LOT THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO TELL YOU. NFL IS UNHAPPY AND MAY NOT SING WITH EA NEXT YEAR SO EA ITS UP THE CREEK. IT WENT FROM ABOUT 14 TO 10 ITS ALOT OF MONEY FOR A STOCK IM IN HIGHSCHOOL AND I KNOW THIS SAD.....
2K14 would be the worst football game since EA's first iteration on the 360.

EA is not losing the license. The EA deal was redone because of the lockout last year and the price. It's not a problem. Madden will still sell 5 million games and everyone will make a lot of money.
There was no research paper either. It was just a public survey. A lot of other top companies made that list as well. Just a natural backlash against people at the top.
Is the field any different this year? last year I thought that during gameplay the field looked like garbage, the turf was unconvincing and many logos were pixilated. They looked great with the 3D grass, though.
Really it was never enough of a distraction to me on 12 for me to pay attention to it on 13. I know what you're talking about because I saw what people were talking about after it was pointed out, but I didn't look at it for 13... honestly forgot it was even an issue until the Madden webcast jogged my memory on Monday.
Madden 12's grass looked a lot worse than NCAA 12's imo. While I preferred M12 over NCAA 12 the two things I didn't like in M12 were the grass and the camera angle.
I was watching the Trent Richardson highlight reel and it was cool seeing him juke defenders and make some good moves. I know some people don't like the return of the big juke in NCAA 13 but the toned down r-stick juke in NCAA 12 really killed the fun factor for me (in this case realism be damned and I know I'm contradicting myself in this area). Tommy - what was the consensus in the room about the r-stick juke in NCAA 13? Like, neutral or dislike?
I don't think they would want to map two sets of jukes, maybe have some kind of modifier (hold R2 for quick juke, release R2 for big jump) or something like that (that's 100% me speculating). I don't think we ever had a diagonal juke but we did used to have two different ones on last gen.
Hey G, with the changes to pass trajectory, did that translate to the cheap dump off passes to the RB and shallow crossing routes to the wr to work again?
was passing accuracy tuned at all? what were completion percentages like? were they higher or lower than previous years. i hope to offset the improvements made for passers this year, accuracy takes a hit. in general, was the game catering more to the offense or defense?
were interceptions more or less common this year? in past years, its felt like interception are by far the best way to stop the offense, as opposed to playing good defense.
also, any word on sliders actually working during gameplay, especially qb acc? last year, the accuracy slider only worked when in practice mode...

I'm sorry Steve I just have to say it because it's taking too much effort to understand what your posts are supposed to mean... you aren't using periods, commas or quotation marks and for god sake GET A FLIPPING DICTIONARY! Also, just so you know, the computer actually has this really cool feature when you're typing and you don't know how to spell it. You see, this fun little red squiggly line pops up underneath that word and you know you have an improper word. The occasional miss is fine and dandy, but you're killing the language all together! I promise you if you can't spell you will fail in life.
Ok, now for your theory that EA even has a chance to be done and over after 13. Complete fabrication. First of all where do you see that 2k is even close to working on a football game? Nowhere? Yes that's correct. The amount of time and money it takes to put a best-selling game together would blow your mind and 2k would not spend the many resources it would take to make a game that they most likely wouldn't be able to sell on the market.
Second, Madden is still one of the top selling sports gaming franchises in America, even if they have lost a few sales because of the economy. Also the NFL is probably more popular than ever and only increasing in that mold, what with fantasy football and all of the super-fan packages on directv, cable, dish, etc What this means is that the NFL is going to continue contracting Madden because people (especially Americans) are drawn to buy things that emulate their sport (which only makes their sport more popular).
And finally, the product IS a decent product on the overall scale of a game. We are critical on our boards, but I promise you a large majority of buyers do not subscribe to or even remotely participate in the gaming blog world.
Also, I love the thought that somehow 2K would be able to put out this incredible game that would blow EA away in just a single year's time. If 2K were to suddenly start trying to put together a football game for 2K14 (next summer release date), it would probably be even WORSE than NCAA Football was on it's first ever edition for PS3/360. It would take 2K probably 2-3 years minimum just to make a college football game on the level to even rival what EA currently has, much longer to actually surpass what EA has.
I'm starting to consider differently.![]()

Not if they started off with All Pro's animation engine.
