The thing is, anytime someone formation shifts someone might supsect them of glitching. Especially if they do it repeatedly during a drive. They could be doing it accidently and not even know the consequences. Sucks ass.
And playing with fatigue off just allows for the no huddle, vick scrambling, jamal lewis pounding scrubs to let loose.

At least Madden was released at a budget price, so you get what you pay for. Oh wait...
Please,you can't even begin to compare this one bug to the broke ass game of ESPN 
With that said,I'm fucking tired of playing this people online who just blitz the fuck out of you every play and you still can't beat them no matter how many WRs you put out there.Fucking Coakley should not be able to keep up with Hines Ward and Randle El,but yet he does -_-
I lost 17-0 just now because of this stupid shit...

This I doubt. Formation shifts aren't even discussed in the tutorials, it's only found in the manual. So far, I think I haven't run into this online, but if I got to, I'm audibling into zone.
Seriously, both games are broken IMO. Madden has its super DBs/LBs, joke of a running game, no pass interference, etc. ESPN has its DBs that can suffer amnesia at any time, overpowered shoulder charge, QB Scrambling issues, etc.
Pick your poison. I enjoy both for what they offer but can understand why someone might prefer one over the other.
Doesnt matter. The glitch affects the D no matter what you call.

With ESPN, you just have to layoff of the extreme shifts in direction. I agree it a might be a little too sensitive, but it's definitley manageable. Maddens running game is much better than last years but the pinballing is still there as is the ability to slow down (too effectively) the run out of primarily passing sets (Dime/Quarters). Not to mention the amount of plays that are blown up in the backfield is ridiculous.Ramirez said:

Madden's running game works well if you actually follow out the play. You keep trying the run, eventually you break through. It's just harder for most people to stick with it 4 mins a quarter, but it will work.
Damn my last 2-3 games have been frustrating. I've been playing against running teams with strong defenses like the Ravens, Titans or the Panthers. They just sit back in the nickel or dime and make me run against them, then milk the clock because my swishy defense can't stop their running game. Rushing the ball exlusively is annoying, sometimes I can get 10 yards rushing per play, sometimes I go three and out.

Hah Hah Just make believe it was VC/ESPN that pulled this crap and let me know how you really feel. And to think, all this at only $49.99!
Fanboy shit aside...That sucks. I run with Jamal throughout the game, and while this won't change my play style (Since I play with people I know, no way will I run every play with him...even if I could) it still really really bites. Fumbles increase when your players are tired...and now you can just run on every down with an elite RB, and suffer no consequences. Weak.

Well, you yourself wondered how they were going to do it, and how can you give players a choice? Disable formation shifts? Don't think that's possible. My guess is that everything is hardcoded already, and this is really the best they can do. If you build in a loopholes for possible fixes, who's to say that some other wise ass won't take advantage of it by hacking around?
And I doubt they'd reprint games for a replacement. 1.35 million copies the first week? The Madden franchise would lose so much money trying to replace copies. This is the best they can they do.
I don't see why they couldn't do a HD patch but can you blame them for taking off fatigue? The game would become almost unplayable with random folks once the cheesers got in on it. Anyone who tries to run all game will just meet an equally un-tired defense so it's not that bad IMO.
Although I'd love to see the reactions if Sega pulled something like this

Yeah, that's the only reason I keep "trolling" this thread anytime some beef comes up. And this most certainly qualifies.

Well, for starters, I don't think they've ever come up with some sort of contingency plan, just quick fixes. This, of course, sets up a bad precedence for the future of console games. And if XBox 2 does not have a HD built in, what happens then? The bigger issue is QA.
And bob, congrats, you get the be the very first person banned by me. You clearly don't own the game, and back on page one, trolling was warned. You've earned a good 2 weeks.
LoL...
Well I guess running with the same person every down can be done,but since your D won't get tired either it isn't an advantage,especially considering their really isn't a "super" back on here.Any RB can be stopped by any team as long as you know how to play the right D.There is no shoulder charge in Madden

Nothing more frustrating than canning 50+ yarders, then missing a 23 yarder...
I tried out the formation shift thing against my friend yesterday. I warned him ahead of time. I told him I was doing it, he agreed cause he wanted to see if it really worked and how the hell something like that could slip through.
So...I roll out...sit around with Carr for a while. Andre Johnson has 2 guys around him....so I throw to him. Catch, breaks 2 tackles. Runs to the 5, turns around, runs BACK, to the other 1, then runs 99 yards for the touchdown. :lol

Im done playin this shit online outside of tournies here.
No one fuckin plays football,they exploit every single flaw in the game.Dude I just played stopped fucking 4 and 5 wide with a 4-3 every fuckin time and had Simeon Rice in the backfield before the snap every fuckin play.Fucking bullshit ass game,EA needs to get their head out of their ass and realize that a fucking LB can't catch up with a WR once their burnt.Everyone has too much recovery speed,doesn't matter what team,like I said a couple days ago,Coakley off the Cowgirls shouldn't be able to shut down fuckin Hines Ward,I mean c'mon.
