My Madden Gripes so far...

[Coach]

I've seen plenty of one hand picks from every defensive position player and none from a WR, TE or RB!

The O-Line protection is a joke! (unless it's just the Browns line)

I understand the realism of the ball sorta like floating when you get hit but if they are going to allow so many picks from this then they should at least even the field and have the O-line block better or have the go to the ground fast instead of a floating in the air.

Accelerated clock...I've already went there but it's one of the stupidest things EA could've done to this game. You can run 4 plays that don't last long or eat up clock but but 1 minute has been burned just from acceleration and that time goes against your TOP. It really sucks for someone who is down a score and call a play with 2:15 left on the clock. Sure you could line up and get another play off (normally) but when you break the huddle it's the 2 minute warning.

Fatigue!!! What the hell were they thinking? I can't tell you how many times I've been down in a game towards the end and ran the hurry up a few times and on the last play of the game, NONE of my starters were in the game? WTF??? How many times does this happen in the NFL? No matter what the situation is, you're starters (at least most of them) will be in for the last play of the game. I've even seen where you call a time out, a player is still out because of fatigue.

LB's are still keeping up with WR down field and even jumping with them. Not only that but I called a play where Shawn Rogers dropped into coverage. The ball went across the middle to the TE or WR and he jumped up with him and broke up the pass!

That's all for now...

yes fatiuge is rediculously high, it needs to be toned down, if an INT return or hurry up your screwed.

also they did accel clock wrong, they should have been just accelrating the play clock and not the real time.

and yes in some instances LBS are keeping up with guys, but its not as bad as last year and people still get burned for bad coverage, just have to exploit it better. the corners or deep will kill em.

O-line, your line must suck (sorry) ive been getting good protection all the time, i think its more adjusting to the camera, and looking at your pocket beacuse I barely get sacked. (protection is different depending on how the play is designed to go and who your primary receiver is. it focuses you in that direction)

My main fucking gripe is the Interceptions on out routes, drag routes, etc.

If I have a WR who is running toward the sideline and the DB is 3-5 yards behind him towards the middle of the field AND I LEAD PASS TOWARDS THE SIDELINE, its not physically possible for that Defensive back to jump the route and pick it off. Yet it happens to me every game i play.

User the WR and come back to the ball?

I rarely throw INT's on out's and usually complete them.


Should work better as you are saying, but with a lil user skill you can avoid giving up INT's pretty easily.

lol what would be the point in that?

they did it to represent real life, cause it takes teams 20 seconds to huddle, break huddle and get up to the line......so they skip those 20 seconds off the clock like it would happen. :ko:

ala Kornstarr madden challenge tactics? No thanks, i user catch almost everything but im saying the DB who is trailing me will jump diagonally at the ball and pick it off about 5 yards in towards the qb in front of me.

I don't mean anything cheesy....like a RC or something. I don't even know what you mean I guess.

I go for the ball, the DB goes for the ball and that's that. If you don't react the DB will probably make the INT when they break for it unchallenged.

I don't always have the DB breaking on out's tho, always try to lead the WR and doesn't seem so bad from what I see. Sometimes the throw isn't ahead and the DB can try for a play, sometimes I hit the WR no prob.


*shrug*

alot of this can be fixed with sliders for offline play. but of course online play is a wate of time with some of this shit

i hate the constant holding on field goals

Don't use "Ask Madden" for field goals.
Call the play yourself.
Once you do that, no more holding calls.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I hate being automatically sent to punt block all the damn time on 4th down

 

[mcstl25]

My biggest gripe is that 50 plus yard field goals continue to be nearly automatic. The kicking system needs to be completely redone next year so a 50 yard field goal isn't a gimme. Hell, even 55 yarders seem like gimmes.

When im TN i hit a 62 yarder. When i dont have Bironas i struggle to make anything over 50 with any kicker.

 

[Hasselbeck]

I hate how when I go to click onto a DB .. Madden will give me the safety or linebacker playing nowhere near the intended WR.. basically rendering my effort to make a play useless.

And fatigue is retarded this year. It really needs to be fixed.

 

[Point Blank]

Interceptions are my biggest gripe. They will pick off the toughest ones but won't pick off the ones thrown right to them? Also the amount of dropped user picks as well.
