Okay, got a 5670 and a 500W PSU. Not the greatest I know, but shit was on sale.
Going to install them both and pray that nothing blows up.

Hooray.
So if they're shooting to have it patched by early September, we can expect it in Madden 2013?

Madden 13 is being too generous. Madden 17 is my bet!
EA damage control is hilarious. Hey Tiburon and Ian Cummings, why don't you guys spend the next year and be productive about features we want instead of shoving ones down our throat we are not asking for! Even DM is having a tough time running damage control right now.
Blizzard games scale well, you should be good to go now.
If you are aim around 9cst I can just send you the code. Hopefully I get you the right one...I have two given away one already and I forgot which one that is. :lol
I believe you have to put the code in right away before downloading so you can just tell me if its wrong. Or maybe you did the right thing and bought the game already.

I'll jump on AIM around that time. The install seems to have went well. I am already getting higher resolutions on my desktop than what I had before, lol.
Just tried Sims 3 and WOW!!!! It is like a new game with everything turned to high and the high resolution.

I am intrigued by gameplanning combined with GameFlow. For offline games, it could speed up franchise mode big time.
Whatever. That proves nothing. And the popularity of "Ask Madden 2.0" doesn't mean dick for us. It benefits none of us. If they would have just added a tutorial introducing new comers to Madden, no one would ever need this thing. That's something they could bring back that would be of great use to the "casual" fan.DMczaf said:
It doesn't even make any fucking sense. Why is the OC telling Peyton fucking Manning how to read his progressions especially DURING THE FUCKING GAME?! Can you imagine Moore radioing to Peyton Fucking Manning "Establishing the run opens up the passing game later on"? Peyton would bend him over and rape his daughters (in that order).
They used to have tutorials, but then they abandoned them for stupid fucking tackle alley. I can't imagine why you would care one iota about Gameflow. It doesn't do shit for you since you don't play against the AI and it is of no use to our league.

gameflow is raw garbage. i guess i can see the possible value of having the game pick your plays based on the situation (for beginners or even vets who "want to execute a gameplan") but the implementation is horrible. as rors said i dont need some dumb fuck coach chirping in my ear about what should happen. hey motherfucker it may not happen that way, the defense may not allow for your first read to happen, or your 2nd, or your 3rd.
it's just a waste. a waste of time and money for EA. i would much rather have had this stuff go into fixing some of the gameplay issues and online franchise issues. but i guess Ian's charts and such show that we (and everyone else who has played the game basically!) are wrong

Yes, but the only difference is that, when you're playing the AI, it calls a play on defense that will allow you to succeed. If you go with "conventional" playcalling, the defense can read your hand. So, let's say you use GameFlow and it calls a run to the inside, the defense will call some random defense and you're likely to get a few yards. If you use conventional play calling and call the exact same play, the defense will crowd the line and even call both safeties down. You'll have 9 in the box to contend with. If you call a run outside, they're likely to blitz the corner so you can't get anywhere.Striker said:

That's unfortunate. All he's proving is that the majority of players will play with whatever default is. I hope he and the Madden team aren't actually drawing conclusions about the success of gameflow from that.
If they wanted to actually draw more interesting conclusions they'd cull the same data points (gameflow usage) cross-referenced with trueskill matching on xbox live and see what groups of players along the skill curve use gameflow. That'd be a more interesting use of data, but I suppose that's thinking about it too much.
That's what I said! Plus, I imagine most people playing the demo are playing it one or two times and then putting it down. What are you going to do on your first time? Play default and/or try out this new fangled mode to see what it's about. I can't believe that asshole is trying to use this data as proof. You can't extrapolate shit from that without context.LukeSmith said:

As a research scientist, I get a good laugh reading the Gameflow usage analysis by the idiot Ian Cummings.

I thought the changes to the pre-snap adjustment system were to stop nanoblitzers? Since it's being changed so easily... I guess not. :x

Here's the problem with that reason/excuse, they run a 100k money tournament every year. As soon as a feature like hot routing is removed, or made much more difficult, the ones who compete in said tournament scream bloody murder loudest.
Don't get me wrong, I think it was a bad decision to move everything over to the D-Pad, no idea why they made it more complicated, but stopping nano-blitzing wasn't one of them.
Just compare Cummings response in a recent interview about Rocket-Catching and why it wasn't "removed" from the game ala NCAA. Granted, user-catching in NCAA is extremely satisfying, you can trigger spectacular catch animations with some of the better WRs, but some of the catches can be over the top.
Bottom line, they want some of this stuff in the game. I mean why the fuck can you drop 11 men into coverage? Couldn't they put some sort of quota, if there are 8 guys dropping disable hot routing on that play. Instead you have DT's dropping back to cover a deep part of the field.
Putting the audibles on the D-Pad would definitely prevent some of this stuff, but it punishes people who don't play the game that way. It's a band aid. If you don't want players to exploit your game, come up with better solutions instead of just making things more difficult.
I mentioned earlier that we might have to look at playing All-Madden this year. I take it back. :lol Yeah, the defense improves a little, but the OL goes to shit. It's not so much that the defense is playing that much better, it's that your OL stops giving a shit. The OL goes to shit and stops blocking people. Half the time, the DEs go in untouched. The run blocking reverts to frustration mode where your guards, fullbacks, and tight ends no longer feel like blocking anyone and sure as hell don't want to block downfield.
Of course, this would all be moot if we had sliders, but I'm pretty certain that it's impossible to put sliders in a franchise mode or else some other sports games would have done it already!
