Enraged gamer reveals Madden NFL '08 glitches |
Ó
Someone going by the name of PSYK0MANT1S on YouTube was very excited to get home from work to play his new copy of Madden. To his disappointment, two games were enough for the glaring glitches to appear. A lengthy post on his bitter feelings accompanied a video he uploaded . Taken from his rant:
...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.
Here are the glitches he was able to record using the game's replay feature. Oh, and before you click on that play button, be warned that the guy is enraged. So expect to hear a lot of... er... unpleasant-sounding rants.
27 Jumps GT5 release date spotted at Target?

Anyway, on a less serious note, the glitches themselves were somewhat amusing.

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.

"Ok, maybe I'll decide to pick up this game from the BETA bin..." what in the h3ll? is this guy stvp!d?

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 ¬_¬

As far as this guy goes, he has every right to be pissed as hell. Because of the piracy excuse, you can't even take a game back to the store because it sucks. If launch-day sales are good enough, the company calls it a success and keeps making crappy games. Seriously, those bugs are inexcusable. The fact that he's able to consistently reproduce the glitches for a video demonstration is cause for major concern.
QJ, let's stick with Homebrew and at LEAST news that has to do with the PSP.

i think American Footballers can get on any field with Rugby players for some huge tackling sessions... and i wouldn't be surprised if they take down the rugby players too... if you look especially at the African American athletes playing the sport they are damn huge and fast and agile... just cause they are made to wear body armour doesn't mean they are wusses.

It's ok for game studios to release unfinished product into stores. But if you don't like the product, you aren't allowed to return it to either the store or the studio because you "coulda woulda shoulda" made a copy of the product. Even though less than 10% of gamers out there have the ability to copy games, 100% of customers can't return a faulty product? This is a corporation's wet dream, people.

If that were a PS3 video... you KNOW this Sony-hate site would've blared on about the PS3 problems with a Hitler picture to match. Screw you again QJ.net, and the corrupted horse you rode in on.

Yes, the game is that pitifully horrible.
I've seen less glitches in stock footage of Soviet rocket launches during the cold war.

I especially liked his comment at the end about *****ty emo soundtracks. EA always markets that garbage and I always hate it with a passion.
I stopped buying their games a few years ago. I wish other gamers would do the same.

Sad that this is the 3rd Madden on the 360 and 2nd on the PS3, yet EA still can't get their crap together.
EA production schedule:
Copy code from last installment, paste code into new installment, relabel to current year or next number in series, and then sell. Rinse and repeat.
I thought game makers would go through evolutions at least, not de-evolution like EA.
The exclusive rights to the NFL has really hurt football video games.

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.

they mistreat employees, they lie to their consumers, and they strip as much of your choice away as they can.
EA's response to someone building a better game and selling it for less: take away their ability to compete.
if people stop giving in and purchasing their NFL title "because it's the only one", EA will have wasted all that money on exclusivity and you will have a choice again.

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.

I got that from the last paragraph before the video. People you cannot take that as a warning you are as dumb as EA. Ohh he said ***** what is your mommy in the room aww its not his fault he is a die hard fan of madden and thats the reason why the game suck so bad
Reply
oh and i agree with that other guy who commented on this,
please QJ start making the news more relevant
i really dont give a ***** about this crap/

I'm guessing when they ported it...despite their laziness they cleaned up the issues or they just dont occur with the ps3 hardware.

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.

Okay, Madden has some really bad glitches, but I couldn't even focus on that. The whole time, i was waiting on this guy's mom to come in the room and tell him dinner is ready.

If you give me $60 of your hard earned money no matter how bad my product is, why should I strive to make it better?
Reply
Ok now that I have that out of my system let me just say that it would be in our best interests not to reward shoddy game-making with our hard earned money.
Thank you.

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.

Wait a minute, are you suggesting that a large company is trying to make lots of money? This is outrageous! I was led to believe that EA was a non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing you high quality products from the kindness of their hearts.

And what the ***** is this guy pissed about? 2 glitches? A game will never be perfect you red neck *****. Honestly. I've seen this game run and didn't catch anything go wrong. I've bought many EA games that I really enjoyed. Especially Fight Night and Most Wanted. They were games that reviewed well and for a reason. They were good. It's so *****ing easy to bash on EA because they're a big company, but can you people have reason to do it instead of calling every game they make bad?
EA sells games. EA is successful for many reasons. Deal with it. You guys act like this is the Wal-Mart of gaming. Chill the ***** out and keep technology away from country bumkins. Please. They go insane when one thing goes wrong. "Well, my musket never fails!" Go ***** a Donkey you inbreed piece of retarded ass. Please.
