That's part of the problem, the existing commentary sucks so how is additional commentary going to make it better.

It was a problem last year too. Like I said, they even got Julio Jones wrong and he was drafted back in April.
It's always next year with these guys.

did you play the madden demo? if you didn't have a problem with the defense there it's not much different in the final game. my main issue is the qb running. ncaa handles this perfectly and it's difficult to abuse it unless you have a really fast qb
hahahahahaha Come on, now...FrenchMovieTheme said:
I only played the demo a couple times, but I don't want to judge it based on the AI. Soboring!
[edit] Go try this in NCAA: have the ai play double qb spy. Now, roll out left, then turn back right and run upfield. The spys will have no fucking clue what to do and will just continue running to the sidelines.
One of the new guys on Madden 13 posted on OS a few months back that they pretty much left commentary untouched because their audio team is working on new tech in M13 and it would be a waste of resources to fix something that will be completely discarded in the next game anyway.

Believe it when I see it. Watch that be the only thing they fix for next year.

lulz it is a lot easier to pass here than in ncaa..... especially if you have a decent qb. did you seriously not see some of those balls come out of his hands? i mean if you saw it you would say his accuracy was in the 20's! but maybe after that first pick he lost confidence and that's what caused it.
i watched some of the replays on the runs and i think i figured out that one of the problems with the shitty run D is that if you try to change guys at all, it stops them immediately.... and the game defaults to the closest guy to the ball carrier. case in point, blount had a 5 yard-ish run, with rogers approaching to make the tackle, i was in the middle of switching so it switches me to rodgers, who is literally inches from blount.... basically touching him. but because it switched me to him, he goes lifeless for a moment, blount gets past, and then he is gone. i guess the lesson learned is don't switch guys?

i am having fun with the game overall but i can't candy coat it, there are problems with the game like there are problems with every football game. maybe i'm overreacting because i've played a bunch of cheeseball randoms over the past few days. game with dm was a good game and enjoyable but you can definitely go back and find flaws with why things happened like they did

never complained about alex smith being horrible! i've said from the start alex smith is horrible in this game. he is rated horribly and if you try to win the game with his arm you will likely lose.... just like in real life!

Wait a second.... Overly powerful running games, zones that don't quite work well, secondary that more often than not let's the ball just whizz by, boring extraneous presentation features that just slow the game down...
NFL 2K5 lovers, your game has arrived!

yeah, 3 runs for 60 yards, with one of the carries being for no gain. odds are there would've been a couple more big runs in there with 8-10 more carries.
the run D is good at times, but too often the blocking is 100% perfect. it's more like the defenders are looking to be blocked, rather than go after the RB

Now if only I could mash a button while running.

maybe we are so conditioned to what will work and what won't in madden and the blocking adjustments they've made this year are going to take some time getting used to. i'm going to just try to control 1 guy on D and not change all over the place to see what happens

FMT, you are fucking crazy if you think we're not supposed to be able to change players mid-play to make tackles. How come it's seamless to be able to play manual D in any NBA game?FrenchMovieTheme said:
Not going to get my panties in a bunch as this is now the third year it's an issue. (Though I did cause a sweet hit stick fumble with Kenny Phillips after switching!)

lol i know
Dude, that's exactly what NCAA does and it always switches you to the most random guys instead of the guy think you're gonna get. Crow had ample opportunities to stop me on this one run where I was just going in a straight line, but every time he switched to a defender, it would completely stop his momentum, or worse: turn him around. It's part of why NCAA sucks so damn much.FrenchMovieTheme said:
Wow... Gonna be even worse with the Raiders!DMczaf said:
Kapernick won't save you, FMT. Looks like you have to go back to the old FMT tricks of stealing a 1st round QB.

lulz, WR throws down my CB and has the presence of mind to turn around and cut my lb immediately after. perhaps the greatest blocking job by a wr in nfl history!
They modeled WRs after Louis Murphy!FrenchMovieTheme said:
