"Next-gen" games. 90's resolutions.

Madden 08? They've improved the hell out of Madden the past 6 games.

I can't go back to mouse/keyboard for FPS's. It's so awkward.

so it seems... so it seems....

No. It's gotten progressively worse. The menus are cluttered and confusing. Features have been scaled back (no more custom playbooks). They've added microtransaction fantasy modes... so the game costs even more than the sticker price.

They added more to the online play... so you can get called racist slurs by 12 year olds.

The physics engine seemed like a good idea, but has been poorly implemented. Youtube is littered with bug and glitch videos.

The presentation is tired... the same old recycled sound bytes.

And still, the graphics are lower resolution even 6 years later due to console restrictions... upscaled 720p if I'm not mistaken. Meanwhile, I can play 2560x1600.

So yeah... its worse in just about every way possible.

Hahahaha... as if I needed another reason to ignore every opinion Speer has ever had on anything.

There's been custom playbooks for at least the past 2 Maddens



You can't design plays from scratch like you could do way back when but that was glitchy anyway

it's not EA's fault that you're a *********, sava.

That's what I meant... designing plays. And it wasn't glitchy... not on PC anyways. Works perfectly.

q2dm1, 30 minutes of vanilla deathmatch. I use m+kb, you use a gamepad. Let's see who wins.

Gamepad is fine for FPS/Action Adventure stuff. It's just a dick to get used to if you've always played PC versions. Once you do it's a lot more convenient being able to sit/lie back on the couch rather than sit leant over a keyboard.

Not quite, give it another 2-5 years.

Yeah, I doubt I'd buy a next gen console in less than 2 years anyway.

Steam box is more interesting...
