A lot of us are Electronic Arts fans who religiously follow every installment in their annual sports franchises. Even that much loyalty though, is not enough to appease an angry gamer after spending US$ 60 to get a copy of Madden NFL '08 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, PC) only to find out how glitchy it is. ...EA needs to STOP
releasing beta builds of their games. EA needs to STOP releasing a game
that needs a patch the next day. EA needs to STOP letting us the
consumer/gamer pay for a buggy product. EA needs to get their act
together and get some REAL Quality Assurance going on. |

It's not as easy as that when EA publish about 90% of all worthwhile games. If you don't buy EA games you're going to end up with very few decent games to play.

Well, that is one good reason why I do not purchase games from EA. The majority of games I purchased from them in the past turned out to be disappointing at best, and a number of them seemed more like betas.
Anyway, on a less serious note, the glitches themselves were somewhat amusing.

Ok it does say in the video it is an XBOX it's played on but obviously bad coding and lack of testing.
I'm sure the PS3 version has the same type of problems in addition to only being 30fps.
The only EA game I have is Need for Speed Carbon and while there's no major glitches, I hate the rubber band AI.

And that just proves it is EA's fault it is @ 30 FPS so in reality the 360 is really not "better". But that won't matter to you since ALL you do is bash ANYTHING Sony.

If you're buying EA's warmed over rehashes year after year then you are part of the problem, and have no business complaining about the quality.
If you are someone buying an EA game for the first time then my sympathy goes out to you, and I hope the store you got it at had a good return policy.

Halo 2 has glitches that still haven't been fixed, and it's still the most played online game for the xbox over 2 years later!
1 person with a glitch doesn't mean EA didn't test their game.

Defending your precious ea, with your 1000s of versions of the same game.. and then 1000s of differnt games for the same sport. I mean, Soccer does change its rules each year a tiny fraction, im sure other sports do too, but all you pay for each time is MAYBE a update in graphics (especially if its on a new console) else you are paying for a tracklist and a updated name database. Well i hope that pleases you at home in bed at night when you will buy madden foosball 2005 2006 2007 2008 and probably madden foosball blackedition 2008 (WITH MORE BLACKNESS THEN EVER BEFORE).

LOL at the Madden Foosball blackedition quote, that really did have me in stiches.
The bad thing is that, knowing EA, it isnt too far from the truth. All of these constant yearly updates, its so easy for them to build on the crap they already have with even more crap, thats y they can make so many games.
Wheras with great games, they come out once every few years cos they have so much more effort put into them (think RE 4 and 5). 5 is coming out 2010 yet 4 was out for ages.

Good on him for highlighting some serious flaws, and I hope EA saw that video crapped themselves. Feel the force of the internet boys, you can't kill publicity like that.
My sympathy is a little limited though - American Football is a wuss version of Rugby anyway, he should maybe play a real game and not a sim. Real men don't wear body armour to play sports ¬_¬

So sensitive... Seriously, I do watch American Football on occasion, and the guys playing are pretty seriously built, but the protection they use causes more accidents than it prevents, as they just pile into each other full pelt - and that's when limbs start to snap. Watch a game of rugby - it's still full contact but far more restrained and structured.

Quixand you are wrong. Try putting those AFL wusses on a field and have them playing against Rugby players for 40 years without all those time outs and rests and oxygen and other bull***** and not rotating defense and offense and see how long they last!
Rugby players aren't as huge because they have to last the whole game, but I think you will find that they are a whole lot tougher and with much greater stamina.
