March 9th: Madden Update

good stuff.

these lil blogs have yet to let me down so far.



i was quite tired of the moon ball as they call it. it looked awful when a QB would go to launch a deep lob and the ball just punts out of their hand. just terrible.

I am still waiting for them to release something about user control. This is a video game, after all, and Madden has had issues for the past 3-4 years with controlling DB's and WR's. I don't know exactly why they have so much trouble addressing this issue, but it is far from perfect.

Controlling WR's and DB's should be equal. Neither player should have an advantage, it should be based on positioning (ratings) and timing (stick skill). So far I have seen nothing concerning this issue and every year it is a pain in the ass because either the DB's are too slippery, the WR's can rocket catch right over a CB's head, the CB refuses to jump (alligator arms wtf?), etc., etc.

user catching in Madden was the gayest ever.

you couldn't even get your guy to jump half the fucking time (unless this was fixed in a patch at some point)
