I was REALY look'n 4ward 2 buy'n FN4 cause I know a thing or 2 about boxing, and let me tell ya' trying 2 throw strategically placed combo's by wiggl'n a stick! is the complete opposite of TotalPunchControl!! I mean just think about it if I"m lean'n back wait'n 4 a lazy *** jab or a DESPERATE Haymaker from a CHEEZE TACTICAL PLAYER I can light em up with a right and left hook 2 the head followed by the same 2 the body... a 4 punch combo that hardly fails and allows me 2 Win more often than I lose.. THAT"S TPC if ya ask me! when u know exactly what combo ur gonna throw b4 THEY know it! the stupid analog makes ya throw random crap that makes the game feel more Arcade rather than Simulation!!! IN a real life fight r ya gonna throw ur attack's instantly on killer instinct?? or wiggle your toes and scratch ur bum first! that's what that Dumb analog control feel's like.. I mean I understand that theres button mashing players who just bang on it hope'n 4 da best! but theres also people like me who understand the sweet science of boxing who can bob and weave and counter all day making the game look SICK.. knowing exactly where the punches r landing on those cheezy DESPERATE HAYMAK"N RUNN'N FOOLS who USE the so called TotalPunchControl!!!! I'm REALY starting 2 think that 1 of if not ALL of the producers who Made this game' get's Smackdown by people who r good wit buttons and would rather personally enjoy the game THEIR way' rather than putt'n extra money in their pocket" STUPID!!!!!!!! I GARRENTEE ya if ya put all the STICK WIGGLERS against other STICK WIGGLERS the game is not gonna look half as good as a button against buttonTRUE(TPC)players!!! Square=jab Triangle=cross X=L hook Circle=R hook Not 2 mention how easy it is 2 throw uppercuts!!! Isnt THAT TotalPunchControl?? or am I just stupid?? PLZ don't ruin what could be an incredible game!!!

Pc is still a viable gaming system but the consols now have the same power and having played all sports games by ea on pc and ps3 the consol defently runs a sports game better then the pc

i think that if u like rts and mmorpg and some shooters but in the times console shooters are starting 2 hit there strides but 4 sports games

consoles have the upper hand

Here's a thought, moore. Make a sport game on the PC that's worth buying. I dare you. I've played every NBA live and Fifa for the last 5 years. This years' FIFA 09 is shameful. It's almost exactly like the last three iterations.

And for all the console twats out there... console games have dumbed down the entire gaming culture. We'll never seen another planetscape... just a bunch more WiiWare. hugs and kisses

A world outside US — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:29:46 GMT

Hi Peter,

First a comment to my fellow gamers: Everybody seems to be Madden focused. May I remind you that outside US nobody cares about American football. Period.

From a ww perspective golf is the world's most dominant sport, watched and exercised by the highest number of people by far.

To Peter/EA: Millions of TGW copies have been sold for the PC alone and not a lot of real evolution to the graphics or game face has taken place on the PC in the last 3 annual editions. It's probably due to one the tech challenges you're facing when developing on the PC. But it is also a reason for declining sales leading to the reasoning this is not a lucrative business for EA. You know this business better than most, yet everybody must learn, adapt and be creative.

I would urge you to explore the business case of suiting needs of niche markets vs. a mass market only approach primarily suited for the lowest common denominator related to PC's. Try to investigate if catering for different graphical strenghts of all the pc's out there would make sense while making online downloads a defaul taking out a lot of heat related to the margin equation in distribution as well as the core logistics of distribution.

Adding to the PC experience and retaining the retail profits could probably make the PC business viable - also for sports.

Ok explain this to me, there is no madden 09 for the PC, but NHL 09 was released for the pc??? See I find this very hard to believe and to me sounds more like business babble than anything else or just lazyiness of your developers.

First of all are you going to sit here and tell all of us there is no money to be made in the PC market, when about 80% of PC's out there have better graphics than 360 and ps3 games? Your a mulitibillion dollar company and your worried about piracy and using it as a excuse not to release any of the sports games? Even though NHL 09 came out on the pc...why don't you go tell Blizzard to stop making PC expansion packs for world of warcraft. Why don't you tell Sony online Entertainment that there is no more money on the PC market since everything is going to the next generation consoles. Personally Im not sure If I will ever buy another EA game, cause I feel you just spit on your PC users...now we was living ok without NCAA 09 on the pc which would of been nice if it would of been, but I see it as a bad business not to release a game for PC just cause your worried about piracy.

And if you notice the newer consoles like ps3 and Xbox 360 is a PC in its self with a proccesor, an Nvidia video card or Ati video card and a Hard drive where u can download demos ect. YOu starting to get the point?. ITs just a ultra propiatary PC that is controlled by 1 company kinda like Mac. But not nearly as capable as a real PC. PC is pretty much for the smart intelligent people. And the console attracts the ignorant type person that blood sucking company like EA can suck you dry. But the good news is there are alot of quality developers like Capcom and Rockstar, ect

EA is a bunch of sell-outs they won't get a penny form me. They sold out to the console industryfor the money thats it. ANything that will cash them in is what ist all about. THey have no loyalty to the consumer. If they can get a bunch of money for a crappy product they will do it. You can compare them to a blood sucking attorney. TO the morons that say PC is dying, google it idiot . YOu will see that the PC market is growing and PC is a more dynamic cutting edge platform. Consoles I do like for arcade style gaming but reminds me of propiatary hardware that are for slaves.

I own a high end PC £2,500 worth, a 360 ultimate, a WII and a PS3. Like everyone who has added comments here I love video games.

I currently buy around 2 or 3 full priced games a month for the PC, but ias far as EA Sports are concerned PC owners only use pirated games.

I have bought the pc versions of Tiger Woods and Fifa every year since 99, but I stopped after 2007 because I was sick and tired of paying full price for a game which had very little difference from last year.

EA Sports have ripped off PC owners for years now, well before consoles were this popular, but that still did'nt stop the rubbish emerging every year. (This tactic has made EA the giants they are now)

It is no wonder EA Sports have seen a decline in PC sales because when you buy a game like FIFA and you compare it to the PS3 version, only to realise "I've been mugged by EA again". It is no different to common thieft.

Peter, give PC owners the same value for money, features and improvements, and see what happens

Piracy happens just as bad on consoles as it does on the PC. Just do a google or torrent site search for Madden 09 iso. You'll find a ton for XBOX, 360, Ps2, and, Ps3. Your piracy theory for declining sales just got shot in the head. Your best bet to stop Piracy is to lock the CD key to the owners EA account just like you did with SPORE. Using that principle you can block users from even getting to the main screen without logging in. I'd have been more than willing to take that step to play.

" In order to make fundamental shifts in an ecosystem, you sometimes have to hit the reset button."

Where is the rest button on your brain. Turning your collective backs to a major platform is unacceptable. What caused declining sales was regergitating the same game 3 years in a row with only minor tweaks, roster updates and, poor excuses for new features. Porting the next gen would've resolved this problem.

"- The PC as a platform for authentic, fully-licensed, simulation sports games has declined radically in the past three years as the next generation consoles, with their high definition graphics and 5.1 sound capabilities have attracted millions of consumers to eschew the “lean in” PC sports gaming experience for the “lean back” full room console experience"

UMMMM HELLOOOO!!!!!!!!!! PC has kept up with 5.1 surround and the best high definition video processing around. Without the advancements in PC technology. Your coveted consoles wouldn't have squat in either department. I've examined consoles they are scaled down PC's with no better equipment than the best mid range desktop. Why buy a $300-$500 console that's obsolete 2-5 years after it's release. When I can build a PC for $1000 that can last for 5-10 years.

As for bringing Madden back to PC in 2010. You can forget my hard earned $ for it. I'm done supporting the Madden franchise and EA. The only way I will cooncider changing my mind on that is if the next gen Madden 09 get's released for the PC. Anything less and you've lost a customer for life.
