if madden plays like ncaa there are going to be a lot of flats RB pass spammers that will be pissed
Ramirez said:
Yes I did. The only things that felt significantly different were running (which is really just them making it easier on those of us, like myself, who suck at accelerating properly) and kicking (hot shots golf meter).
Based on my conversation with the designer that was there they spent their development time on the following:
Coverflow
3v3 Online Co Op
Everything else was kind of dealt with whatever time was left over.

like pasta said, if madden matches NCAA's gameplay i don't see how people will be disappointed overall. the lack of improvements on the online franchise front suck, but if the gameplay is there that is most important

I'm going to go ahead and say no.
NCAA, the last few years, has had the pump fake on the right stick. And as always, Madden puts it back on RB. Which leads me to always confuse the 2 when I switch between the 2 games. I've thrown the ball out of bounds (and penalty for grounding) in NCAA, because I hit RB to pump fake.
Of course, if the buttons are mapable, I could have probably changed this. Right?
I was playing Ramirez, Michigan versus Kentuky, and a beautiful pump fake drew his CB on the far left in, boom, Touchdown. One of those "It Feels Good" plays.

what is fucking stupid about madden is that you can't pump fake different defenders. in NCAA, it's mapped to the right stick and you can pump fake in the direction of different defenders. this makes sense. in madden you just generally move your arm forward so there is no strategy in pump faking a specific defender to get a guy open.
works nicely in NCAA because defenders don't ALWAYS bite on it, and it is risky considering the pass rush is quick to get there, but a good feature to have
That's too complicated for us Madden players. We're going in the other direction. Have the AI play defense for us by pushing A. Have the AI call plays for us. Have the AI tell us exactly what play the other player is running by paying for it with virtual dollars... and then have the AI tell me what play is good to call against that.LJ11 said:

I do love the gameplan adjustments. Even though Aggressive Pass Rush doesn't offsides at all, and creates headaches because they'll jump the snap 90% of the time, everything else is good.
I should set the tempo to conservative at the start of every game!

i wish they would move the D-line moves back to the triggers/bumpers. i might be the only one to have issues but everytime i try a D-line move with the right stick i end up falling down (because the guy is trying a hit stick or i dont know). i try to wait for engagement but it just never works for me

I believe they changed all the preplay stuff to be under one menu that you have to access with the D-Pad. It takes longer now to make preplay adjustments in my opinion.
And yes I meant Gameflow earlier, I don't know where Coverflow came from.

coverflow is coming next year. instead of seeing play diagrams you see a cover from the target player's favorite band. you can then press a to d/l the album straight to your HD (works in online games too, just plays the other player a short preview of the album while it's downloading)

hate to compliment NCAA more here, but i really hope the madden team has taken a look at how the special teams is handled in NCAA. if you field the ball 5 yards deep on a kickoff, there is about a 98% chance you aren't getting back to the 20. it's just not going to happen. compare that with madden '10, where you were nearly guaranteed to get to the 30 on every kickoff (and we had a bunch of KR TD's every year). there were 15 in the real NFL last year and i dont know how many we averaged but it just seemed high. the entire special teams mechanic was not good.
also, while the kicking meter in NCAA is still the garbage one, you can "ice" the kicker and (thanks partially to sliders!) even 50 yarders are very difficult (depending on the weather).
there is also a great risk/reward balance to the playcalling in NCAA. because the defense is much better in this game, it is very risky to call a playaction pass on 1st down because if the defense sacks you and gets you in a long yardage situation its very difficult to pull yourself out of it in 2 plays (as it should be).

I read the last post first and saw that Ramirez got iced, I thought it was this kind of icing.
My boys started doing this shit at work too, it got out of hand.

I played 3 or 4 complete games without ever turning it on at E3. So yeah we should have no issues playing without it.
Rorschach said:
In a way it kind of is. I mean their whole goal this year was to make the game more attractive to people who think Madden is too complex. Nevermind that the game sells 3+ million yearly, they wanted to EXPAND the audience further.
I get that with a game like Madden you have a huge audience and each sector of it wants different things and you only have so much time each year, but this is not the route I would've gone.

Just popping in to say sup all.
I expected to see more of you talking about how you like madden 11 so far. Seems a lot of people have it already. I got to play it at a friends house yesterday. I don't see many of you using gameflow but it's pretty fun I guess. The Panthers are beast this year so GCQ should have a blast.
I have a huge feeling this years madden is the end of nanoblitzing. Pretty awesome actually. They changed all line adjustments to the D-pad. Meaning its a super pain in the ass to move people around. Also what this does though is prevent the cheese quick line jump that is still possible in NCAA.
The whole hit Y, now hold down on both sticks, then as soon as the ball is hiked let go of the right stick cheese.
Anyway it seems like the bandaid the series needed and its pretty awesome having the new catching animations.
Hope you guys have a drama free season. :lol

The game leaked last night I guess. One of the guys on BBI is saying that it's amazing, the best Madden ever.........
..... but we hear that every year from people who don't know what the fuck they are talking about and are impressed by shitty animations and presentation. Anyway, if anyone has a modded Xbox 360 and gets it, let us know how it is.

We're going to have a 5 min quarters demo tomorrow.
of course, the demo is old as hell and doesn't have the late fixes that made it into the retail game, or the fixes from the release day patch. So the demo is only good to get you used to the locomotion + game speed. :|
