    I can understand the servers having problems the first week or two but if it's a month and they are still garbage then that's unnaceptable

          2K outsold Madden last year by over 2,000,000 copies. It was the best selling 2K game ever. Other than that though, yeah they had waaaay more players.

          More people are playing 2K now than ever. Still nowhere near as many as COD but they also don't have their budget either and frankly it's easier to program for an online FPS than a 3rd person basketball game.

              They didn't just outsell madden, they crushed madden.

              Point being 2K last year was as popular as madden was at its peak. You're underestimating the amount of traffic their servers get, and Madden didn't have 10-player co-op modes to deal with.

                do I need to bring the numbers from the ten years prior that madden owned 2k? madden was down last year cause it was a retread game with no real improvements.

                2k servers have been trash for legit 6 years now. they sell all those copies and still can't figure **** out for launch.

                battlefield has 65 people on at one time. 2k can't get more than 4 to work at launch.

                  Again, FPS co-op is different from basketball co-op, and its been done for far longer.

                  It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

                        I know this is beating a dead and mutilated horse, but I wish 2k could make and NFL game. If Madden animated as well as nba2k, it would be a great game. I know it's pointless to bring up but it pisses me off that that the NFL is so greedy they hurt the fans by allowing EA to have an exclusive contract.

                          There's also been Battlefield servers running for various incarnations of the franchise for 12 years now. Never mind that its a completely different network model (EA basically handles account validation and stats, along with a core group of game servers, while most actual game servers are actually hosted from independent server providers, while 2k is almost completely centralized and is hosted entirely in house by 2k)

                          And actually, yes, Call of Duty HAS had these issues on Day 1 in the past, at least on the PC. (MW2, the first time they tried to centralize everything, comes to mind).

                          you realize EA had no problems with online team play for NHL and FIFA correct (before they removed it for other modes)
                          Why were they removed? Low usage?

                            NHL decided to patch it in after launch this season and FIFA completely remodeled their game and modes. someone more familiar with Fifa would have to explain why

                              Madden got boring. Has nothing to do with animations or graphics. It's just hard to find a new angle to get people interested.

                              Madden needs team up, and not just 3 on 3. Make it up to 11. Actually gameplan around it. Make it all first-person (like ESPN NFL 10 years ago). Give people the feeling of actually being in an NFL game.

                              No matter how they tweak things, Madden never feels like real football. Actual QBs don't have the luxury of a bird's eye view of the entire field on every drop back pass, and receivers don't always know a pass is coming on the release.

                              First person back then failed because it was still 1v1 and it was annoying to change perspectives when the ball suddenly changed hands. In team up you wouldn't have that issue.

                              If Madden wants to really take the next step, they need to expand team up. Sports gaming is a social thing now as much as a competitive thing, much like COD. The more players you can cram in to one game the better.

                                Madden devs have said for a while now team up is off their radar (and completely removed from 15).

                                my team has taken over sports games. I'm only getting into it this season but starting with a brutal roster seems to blow.. and these online auctions are hacked to ****
