Lol, I can say that the AM kick meter seems to be the same speed as in AP.

Nice!!!! Perfect day for this to come out!! No Phillies tonight, so I'll have a chance to play some games with the new "fixes"! If what is said in the details is fixed, then this game will be great.

Let me know. I might have to give AM another try.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

Let me know. I might have to give AM another try.

Look for me after 6pm. I should be online. Maybe even a mid afternoon game. I'll see how I feel after I get home from work.

try some random games with "Play Now".........that should defintely determine how much was fixed

 

[Rohtang]

Why won't they put inbox text in the game like MLB....I'm tired of pressin the PS button and waiting 5 mins...to write, " gimme 1 sec" or "BrB"...

Gonna give that a go on lunch break!

And I also show that they improved kick return blocking...so does that mean more KO returns for TD? We all r averaging 1 a game...

 

[Virix]

This new kick meter is retarded. Way too slow, back to 55 yd FGs being gimmies again. KO distance is shorter now, and blocking is better. I ran back 3 in my first game.

WTG EA!!!!

That's the definition of fixed? lol

 

[Virix]

Bums complained that they couldn't get any long returns and there were too many touchbacks. Even though the kicking game was finally at its most realistic EA changed it (even though they said they liked it as it was) to please "the masses". Same with the kick meter.

As a hardcore madden player, im so sick of being at the mercy of the "masses" of bums. Just like they changed the default game speed last year.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

All I care about is broken tackles. Fucking bums think they're good on offense because their players break 8 tackles per play, keeping drives alive.

Are they toned down to a point where it's noticeable?

 

[Brotha2ThaNight]

downloading now...to bad I wont get to play til after midnight

 

[Virix]

Broken tackles seemed toned down a little, but the defense feels.... weird. I cant put my finger on it, but something doesnt seem right. It seems slower or something.

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

just kick it to the middle and/or sub in faster players on KOs

AND

the "number" of broken tackles were "reduced"........

:hammer:
