Slow Game Speed Feedback Thread

[Saluki]

Online game speed has been turned to slow today, once u play some games leave some impressions on the game speed and whether you prefer slow online speed, or normal which is what it usually is.

EA made this change?

Yeah, temporarily

 

[Archer]

Playing RS on it now and I think it is probably the worst change they have made in a good while

I could not hate it more .

It's just noticebly slugghish , pursuit sucks , everybody is 90000000000000000000000x slower than the speed backs now . Overall you just feel like the whole game is slow and boring and want to just speed it the hell up . Offense seems easy because it appears like the dline is getting there much slower thus giving you all day to throw even v blitzes

Maybe its just me but we are in the 2nd qtr now and I already feel bored of the game

Just finished an online game with slow speed on.

Pros: Made running and passing the ball much easier. MJD and Torry Holt dominated the defense.

Cons: Made running and passing the ball TOO easy. There is no sense of urgency at all, i felt like i had all day to throw even when i was under pressure. Pursuit angles are terrible. Overall feel is sluggish, and this mode pretty much makes the pocket obsolete, i had nearly 100 rushing yards with David Garrard on 3 carries, it gives far too much time to just sit back and dissect a defense. I could see how this might be fine vs CPU, but vs User i hate it. I wont be picking up Madden for any lg play till it's changed back.

Just when you thought EA had a good football game on their hands, they hit you with something to just piss us off...lol.

It seems like it takes forever for me to score online as it is, now it's gonna be even slower..lol.

From what i saw on OS the main people pushing for this were less skilled people who wanted more time to find running holes . Running was fine in my book , it was easy to gain big yards with good backs and hard with sucky backs/olines . The reason half these fags can't run is because the all try and burst outside after the snap

This is nothing to do with hating change , I tried the mode when I first got it , now I am in an online game v somebody on VSN and I still hate the life out of it . It has just made for a boring game (and there has been 38 first qtr points , so it shouldn't be a boring game)

Wre your scores higher? Geared more towards offenses?? I already thought it was a little to hard to stop people on defense online as it is, especially those goddamn flats with players like Reggie Bush and Westbrook.

That's pretty much it right there. It's just like real football, you gotta wait and setup your blocks, not sprint outside like some players try in this game and get vaccummed right up by the defense.

 

[Archer]

it's 100x easier on offense from what I see so far

I feel like this move is catered towards people who struggled using their cheap 09 tricks on madden 10 while on offense so they have dumbed it down and made it easier on offense

I could very well be wrong tho

I had nearly 300 yards rushing in 5min qtrs, slow is defiantly geared towards offense. It makes it WAAAAAAAY too easy to get outside on a toss or sweep, and with how the pursiut changes a RB with 92+ speed will go for a big gain every time. I had no problem running the ball before, avg 70-100 yards with ok RBs and 100+ with Elite RBs which is realistic. Most good RBs avg about 70 yards a game anyway. People are complaining about the run game, on normal its the most realistic its been in a long time.

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.

Are slow fans really in the majority though, I've seen more complaints that compliments thus far.

Ummm,,Don;t they have testers to test the game before it comes out?? Why should we have to test something that we already bought..lol.

I dont believe it where sthe poll? You have all day to throw now because you can see where the D is breaking the pocket down and can move to better spot. Now defense sucks. Once guys start using wr playmaker game ruined

 

[TimsGiants]

I bet we can buy the option to change soon lol being a new "ELITE" feature...mfers

This game is garbage on slow. Its way to easy in all aspects on the offensive side of the ball. They seemed to take 2 steps backwards with this setting. They made it tougher on the defense once again and they are bringing back how important speed is. Both of those problems were semi-resolved on normal, I felt like they took a step forward and was going towards the right direction for the first time in forever. Please EA, don't start reverting back to your old ways.

Slow mode defiantly gives the advantage right back to the players with speed and that was one of my main beefs with previous Madden games. I mean give me a break, you get Chris Johnson and you will average AT least 7-8 YPC no questions asked. If you are really good at utilizing his speed, you can average in the double digits per attempt with ease.

Overall, I feel like slow mode is designed for the lesser competitive players and I don't like that one bit. When I'm playing Madden, I want the feel of playing a real game with realistic stats and quite frankly averaging 200 yards on the ground each game is not realistic.

Don't even get me started on the angles and how heavy you feel your players are on defense, its a fucking joke.

OS is in a slight favor of slow speed

hmm........... wonder where he got his stats from
