and to someone playing - i guess i have an actual q... do you have better control of runners ? or does it feel like sometimes your virtual guy got a little defiant

 

[MrBill]

Thats still like that from last year. They wanted his style in the game but it wasn't official he was coming back yet and I guess it's the same again this year.

I think he is official as anyone else in the league at this point. He hasn't announced a retirement and he is under contract. Guess EA used those valuable hours to code something else then :shifty:

I feel like I am controlling the runner though getting used to them auto-sprinting when they hit the hole took a few quarters of play.

No last year when he was retired and they didn't change it.

Since its auto sprint now what did they change that button to do now

Does Collinsworth still call Gus Johnson, Tom?

Is CJ's twitch in the game?

 

[MrBill]

Can you throw a bubble screen to Brandon Marshall and tell me how many tackles he breaks?

No WR bubble screen in the Dolphins playbook but he did make a wicked one handed catch on the sideline in the Superbowl vs. the Vikings!

control seems better. Brady2Moss cheese is nonstop on rookie mode.

I feel like this is the madden they should have made (minus gameflow bc it blows) on next gen. The game presentation makes the game feel more polished but underneath its more of the same old gameplay flaws we are used to.

This is called putting lipstick on a pig where I grew up.

No sunglasses but I gave him this cool visor just for you...lol

What does "Face Marks" do? Did they finally add it so you can give players eye black? lol.

That's gotta be the Drew Brees option.

What I mean is that this should have been the effort they released 4 years ago. Not 5-6 years into the cycle. So far I like NCAA better gameplay wise. I mean the gameplay in madden isn't terrible. I still don't know why playbooks havent changed in 5 years though. The lack of online franchise baffles me and I have no idea how single player franchise is since I just play online. I probably won't buy it but I think most of you who didn't buy NCAA will get a few months enjoyment.

Before the prom?

 

[MrBill]

Before the prom?

Only if you know it is going to put out.

Fair enough. With enough beer, they all pretty much look like 10s anyway.

More like 6.5's really.

 

[dave]

More like 6.5's really.

I stand corrected.

 

[Jagsfan61]

I think the gameplay is definitely more polished.. maybe just me? Loving the presentation though. Cant wait for it to drop to play ONLINE

 

[PP]

I really don't like the new kicking meter or the strategy pad (dpad) to do audibles. Its different and I don't like it.
