whats the QB throw glitch?

is that what Red was talking about a few pages back?

I have no idea.... I was just referencing the blotches.

 

[jms493]

Wow those black oil spills on the field.....seriously?

reminds me of madden 96

 

[Garrett67]

I like the game but there is no excuse for that field issue.

I knew there would be one thing that would just suck the life out of the game.

Most of the time, the game looks great, providing you avoid indoor stadiums or certain lighting situations

I mean really, what the fuck were they thinking.

 

[Garrett67]

Right now, I'm watching a CPU vs CPU game while I'm doing stuff around the house and it looks great. I mean , I walked by earlier and thought a real game was on.

Of course, its at Soldier field. I will avoid indoor games if I can.

I'm playing in franchise mode and just noticed

Cam Newton: Experience 2 years, 90 OVR! Say what? I'm not saying that's impossible, but madden ratings are fucking redunkulous this year.

I just counted seven 99 ovr, seven 98's, and nine 97s. I stopped there.

Year 3 mind you.

 

[Leftwich]

So, has anyone simmed some imported draft classes and seen the results?

Info is important.

I'm doing this right now. Just like you I want to know.

I've yet to play next-gen Madden because franchise wasn't up to par. Haven't touched the game in two years(thanks to NBA 2K). What's your overall opinion of franchise this year? Can you create custom special packages like in PS2 Madden?

Ewww that might've killed it right there for me.

I know somebody talked a little about it earlier but has anybody simmed some future seasons (not just the first year) and what were stat totals like there, any anomalies? (Like 8+ 2,000+ yard rushers)

 

[Rayman]

I mean really, what the fuck were they thinking.

As usual, they weren't.

 

[Leftwich]

Alright so i simmed through a season playing as the jaguars and forgot to turn the cpu assistance off on the FA :facepalm:. Anyway i noticed that there was no CB's targeted to go in the first round. Kinda weird but then i noticed there were 13 DE's slated to go in the first. Kinda weird. I think the position the players are supposed to be drafted in are based off their last season stats in NCAA cause the usual suspects like Luck and Richardson went 1 and 2 respectively to Buffalo and Arizona. I didn't see any punters or kickers go until the 4th so it was realistic in my chise. I didn't play my preseason so i don't know what their overalls will be.

BTW, Bruce Irvin, DE for WVU was taken by me in the 5th round with 94 speed. Also make sure you make good use of the combine and individual workouts. They help you find out all the ratings of the players.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

I just don't like how if I don't scout a player I know NOTHING about them. Absolutely nothing, other then their 99? ovr. It's fucking retarded that way. If I'm an owner, watching the combine, I'll at least know a little more than nothing... dumb shit.

 

[Maynard]

fired up my first game. initial impressions...the browns have a horribly low rated roster.
graphics look real nice and the animations and flow look and feel great. i see alot of floating passes and the DB's close in super fast.

I hate how they show that broadcast cam out of the huddle. It absolutely drives me nuts. I love how they have the quick buttons to make shifts on dee. the quick buttons are identical to ncaa. It doesnt eliminate the d-pad, but it sure makes things a whole lot easier.

gus johnson is way too over zealous at times, but overall the commentary is not as bad as people make it sound.

at halftime im losing 14-0 at home against the steelers. they have 154 yards to my 27. the things keeping me alive is my 3 picks. they have 1 themselves that went for 6. Its nice to see the CPU holding the TOP at 11 mins to my 6

It was like that last year too. Players basically progress regardless of what they actually do. I'd have a guy not play at all but since he had A potential, he'd automatically increase 5 overall points. Yet you could have some random guy rush for 1200 yards but has a D potential and increase like a point.

i think u might be blown away by how expanded the chise mode is. i have not touched chise in like 2 or 3 years and i see some serious strides. idk how well any of these work. But i do know that it is deeper than ever before.
