Rented the game for a week.... and

[Nukleopatra]

If you put it on the hardest passing difficulty, I guarantee you throw more interceptions than completions. If you set the right sliders, you can have very realistic games.

Why didn't I think of that?

The entire time I've been playing on pro default.

Thanks, man.

I think that's where the true improvement of the game is, it just feel different. Just throwing a pass, running the football, or making a tackle looks and plays much better this year than in years past. Unfortunatly offline play against the CPU will never be perfect. IMO, and not that I have ever played in an NFL football game, but I would guess if they actually tried to simulate how hard it is to play quarterback or play defense in the NFL, they would alienate 90% of their customers.

 

[Nukleopatra]

I dont mind someone stating there opinion once but to keep whimpering on and on about how bad it is gets kind of stupid after a while.

We haven't met, obviously.

I'll be bashing the shit until Madden 11 release date.

Did you know that Drew Brees has only won 1 playoff game in 7 seasons?

 

[DoubleDeuce]

You'll be bashing Madden 11 before it comes out, and once it comes out, the bashing continues. Regardless of how good it is. Stop being a whiny little bitch. Criticing the game is alright, but being a whiny bitch about it isn't.

Maybe I'll just kiss Ian's ass after every blog update, about how awesome the game is going to be, just for it to end up being the exact same flawed piece of shit we got this year.

Show me ONE post where I said Madden is so great and all. Madden's good, much improved from last year. Yes it has its flaws. And yes you can point them out, but there is no need for the whiny bitchyness you have.

 

[Nukleopatra]

It's flawed yes. nothing sliders wont fix. the ones im using arent to bad. CPU Rb's get 80-100 yds consistantly unless it the pats CPU offense who never run the ball.
You can bitch all you wont and i will just laugh at your dramatized claims and then i will keep enjoying the game. I didnt play 09 it was terrible i bought it and hated it. but this years game is great with a couple of flaws.

Send them my way.

 

[Nukleopatra]

eh... your a whiny bitch why should i?

And you're an illiterate fucktard, but I'm still willing to test them.

If a dumbfuck like yourself holds the secret to making this game playable, I'm willing to stoop that low.

Send them on.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Well, I asked nicely.

Guess I'll have to stick with these shitty sliders.

 

[Maynard]

i agree with alot of what nuk said in the OP.....however, run sliders, in order for them to work for me i put my break block and reaction at 0 and turned the cpu run ability to 60 and run block to 76

at 75 its still to easy to stop them and at 80 it was too hard....so i settled on 76

the pass game is way to easy. I turned accuracy down to 15 on both sides and turned catching down to 40 for both.

the game is just a snooze fest for me. The shitty AI and just the overall feel of the speed and action is just off. It doesnt feel smooth at all. Its got so many bugs and bs cpu glitches that its just so frustrating and a waste of my time. I will be trading this thing in ASAP unless i can sell it on ebay or something

 

[mfbmike]

def agree that the game is no better than a 7 on a scale of 1-10 but still holding my interest for the time being.

in a perfect world, ea wouldn't hold the exclusive license and would have to actually try to put out a decent product or in the case of the NBA games, just be inferior in almost every aspect.

 

[Nukleopatra]

You know when you have a 147.1 QB rating with Chad Henne, it's time to quit. Although, the adaptive AI was starting to show promise, by dropping my rating to 120.9. The passing game, especially play action passes are so damned easy, it's almost laughable. I even use the ''ask madden'' feature, to prevent me from choosing certain plays, but now his dumb ass chooses play action passes every other play. Passing to the TE is also too effective.

I was going to rent it for another week, but I'll wait until a patch comes out. This shit is going back, and I'm going back to World of Warcraft - A real game, for real closet homosexuals, like myself.

rofl. I play on chromagg horde. pretty casually though.

sounds to me like the game is just too easy for you man. at least the computer gives me a pretty hard time on all-madden.

but it's true, a lot of the times you fuck with a slider and there is no difference. I have the CPU's pass block at 5, 50 is the default in an effort for me to give the CPU QB realistic pressure and me some realstic sack numbers.

I'm dead last in the league in sacks in my chise so far. rofl.

 

[Derrville]

Ima try OSU lovers sliders, i lost 1 time to the giants and every other game is 30+ point wins.

I actually found a slider set at OS just now, that had me give up 120+ yards to Michael Turner, and a loss. I was shocked, but again, due to shitty AI, I only control my QB and DT, no switching at all, no matter what. Best/most realistic game during the entire week I've had this shit.

I shouldn't speak so soon, because reality will probably strike in the next game.

You see my problems with sliders is this .....

You ever have them low and whoop the cpu all day long or you juice them up so high that runningbacks are breaking 5 tackles and leaping over safetys in order to get realistic stats (a bit of an exaggeration)

In my chise I have been forced to put up with a juiced up AI so I can at least play some competitive games against the CPU with decent stats

I am mainly an online player but for once I would like to see the offline franchise get a look , or hell , have it the way it was on ps2 . Wasn't perfected but was better than 08 , 09 , partialy 10

I guess they were to busy making a bugged up OF to work on the Offline Franchise :shifty:

 

[Woy]

That's exactly what I don't want from any sports game. I hate the fact that they can be uncompetitive offline. I'm an offline chise guy, have online but don't play sports games online much, and I hate when the CPU is too easy to beat. On the hardest setting, you shouldn't be looking for ways to make the CPU harder to beat. They should be able to break runs on every play you didn't play call right for. That's how the NFL is and that's how the hardest difficulty should be. Of course every now and again you'll have someone miss an assignment in real life, but it should be that if you don't call the right play on defense and you leave yourself exposed than the CPU should take advantage of it.

To Pirgo (the fucking idiot who proclaims his stupidity every time he lays his fingers on a keyboard), Nuk was talking about the CPU run game not being effective. Not the user running the ball, but the CPU running the ball. And CPU running is something EA Sports has never been able to get right. Not saying 2K got it right because frankly I don't remember if CPU running was good in 2K5. I just don't see how that's something that is so hard to get right.

Like you said Nuk, it's shit we can find out within a day of playing the game, so there's no reason at all that it should make it through a year of testing and development without being caught and fixed (more than a year if you take into account the fact that a lot of these problems have been going on for the past couple of years).

OH SHIT, HE'S GOING TO CONSIDER YOU AN E-THUG TOO.

Welcome to the family then. :drunk:

your trying too hard to be funny which makes your really annoying. i think you understand that sentence.

"makes you really annoying"

I guess I know who the individual with the low level intelligence is in these forums. Happy trails man.

Did you actually register here at VSN looking for high IQs?

How goes the search, silly ass?
