Online games changed to Slow Speed?

[killgod]

Just reading one of the EA guys twitter to check for online franchise notes and saw this

So... pretty big change coming to Madden Online this morning that you should all be happy about. Should be finished in 30 minutes.about 1 hour ago from Tweetie

Ok, it's done. So, here's the deal. Game speed for all Online head to head games (including Fracnhise) is now SLOW.about 1 hour ago from Tweetie

Yes, it will affect already created online franchises.

Can anyone confirm if we're all now playing on Slow instead of Normal? There's no option to set your game speed in Online Franchise so we all should be affected by this.

I fucking hope not. Slow to me is why I dont like this game sometimes. Too sluggish....uugggghhhh

 

[1ke]

I can tell the difference anyway. What is it set on out the box?

Out the box was slow offline, and normal online.

 

[Boucher]

for me I love slow, it felt sluggish in the demo but not in the final game

I'm happy about it myself.

It's easy to look at existing Online Chises on AM.

Many of which the running games lack (outside of the big play) and the Passing games overcompensate to make up for it......which leads to more INT's and Defensive TD's....which are too often to begin with.


If you like REAL football you should be happy about this cause the slower speed makes it easier to find your holes running the ball, and to make your reads passing to avoid those INT's.

KG i do like "REAL football", but...to each is own i guess, i don like slowing shit down, i can see holes and passing lanes anyway.

So in your online games you see realistic rushing and passing consistently?

100 on the ground and around 200 in the air per team? obviously sometimes you'd shut a team down sometimes or give up too many big plays....but this would be a loose estimate at the averages. Would you say it's your averages?

Most games online I've played on AM will have around 40-60 on the ground and 300+ in the air. Not because of lack of trying to run, but because half my rush attempts involve a DL hitting me within a step of touching the ball.

Just curious what you get.

they need to fix fatigue next, its so bullshit

like having to run the ball with tight ends in the third quarter because every back is too fatigued??

See that was a waaaaaay bigger issue than game speed. Why the fuck is Jason McKie and Kevin Jones lining up at WR because all of the receivers and TEs are on the sideline vometting.

 

[MvP]

YES..great news

 

[Rudi]

That shit is too slow for me.

 

[Archer]

Fuck this

I was actually enjoying normal speed . Is this cause some fags complained they couldn't run the ball? seriously?

 

[Len B]

Well all the bad players now got their wish.

 

[Realist]

RIP Madden 10...lol

For the life of me, I can't understand why you can't change an option like this for unranked games.

I can understand ranked (though I think slow game speed is stupid), but unranked?

Why would EA care what we unranked players do?

 

[Realist]

i think having the different speeds is dumb anyway. just have one NORMAL speed and focus on other gameplay issues. i dont want to play normal one day, show the next and fast the day after that..

This just came from Ian's twitter page.

As of now the "slow" speed fans are outnumbering "normal" fans about 60/40. AGAIN THIS IS JUST A TEST NOT A PERMANENT CHANGE PEOPLE.

He means his fanboys at OS are telling him it's 60/40 because cleary he hasn't visited sites like this or them numbers would be horribly off .

Were EA scared that we might actually be enjoying madden for once so they had to settle us down?

I would LOVE for somebody to explain what was wrong with normal speed .... LOVE them to

Ian, said on his twitter that they are leaving it for the weekend. Here is a response from someone on his twitter. They are testing a game that is already in production. Just crazy. Leave it on normal and call it a day.

@Follow2ToN agreed! we added tons of new customization options for 10. online game speed didn't make the cut so we're testing options now..

Looks like I'll be sticking to offline franchise till they change this back. I have no patience for slow speed.
