I'm interested probably. Give me some time.TheCrow said:
Went 2-2 in random online matches last night...good lord there was some weird stuff. I don't get why they have the quarterback fumbling ramped to high heaven again, it makes zero sense. I blame east coast bias. They saw Eli fall on his face and assume all quarterbacks do it. I never did find the fucking slide button, stop changing that shit EA!
Some guy playing the Titans (I was the Dolphins) also is either the greatest defensive end controller or figured out some cheese. His d-ends were in the mid-70's, yet he was able to shed blockers as though they weren't even there on passing downs. Once Henne went bad, he went REAL bad. It was a 10 point game going into the fourth, Henned got sacked and fumbled...and then was missing receivers by 5-7 yards on every pass. I ran a bubble screen to try and get his confidence back and Henne threw the ball in front of the screening receivers and into the arms of a CB giving cushion. It was absurd.
There also seems to be a pretty large bias to user controlled players on jump balls. Jennings and Finley pretty much out-jump any group of CPU controlled corners, including Nnamdi, on bombs. Quarterbacks in the red zone are automatic rushing touchdowns (anywhere else on the field and there seems to be a 70% chance of fumbling).
I turned off the commentary and watched the Brewers game during all my online games, which means I got four games (plus some goofing around in menus etc.) done in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Not bad at all. There seemed to be a lot less fluff. The option of multiple quick pick's makes game flow somewhat more viable, especially on defense. I still thought it was terrible on offense, but I'd imagine if you build a gameplan that suited your style it'd be better. The system would be awesome if it learned how you play the more you play, so that after a week or two it would suggest plays to your style.

On long runs by Bradshaw this weekend I kept getting chased down by linemen and LBs. What gets me is that these guys didn't even take any kind of angles to get there, it was all based on how 'fast' they were running.Rorschach said:
I am so jealous of you guys being able to play each other.
I made a mock one as well and checked out the material. No turning off Gameflow shows up, as far as I know. But as long as we can pick a general formation before the play it's fine. Not mash A, correct?
Also am trying to move forward so I can find the draft prospects, if somebody else let us know!

This is especially awesome at the end of close games when you're trying to hurry up and pick a play, only to hit the wrong button and have to burn a TO or just swallow what GF gives you.
Seriously, Tiburon can suck a dick.
Absolutely ridiculous that something so small can't be fixed in a year.

Cool should be getting my game tonight if anyone wants to beat me down.

It's a date.
I could have swore I was hitting X to slide.
As for scoring touchdowns, I wasn't sneaking. The linebackers are just ridiculously slow to react to a quarterback who tucks the ball and runs. If they are dropping back in a zone, it is pretty much impossible for them to react in time in this game.

manually assigning someone to qb spy is your friend 
FrenchMovieTheme said:manually assigning someone to qb spy is your friend
Great, so I have to manually assign a spy, manually shift my linebackers and adjust safety coverage. All in the time it takes the offense to get to the line, since generally they just immediately snap the ball.
I think there needs to be some 2-3 second delay from the huddle break to the offense being able to snap. If EA is going to force people to babysit the defense, they need to give them time to do so.

Yep, just like NCAA. We'll see if they really fixed that issue in the upcoming patch or not.
Wonder how long the list for the Madden patch will be?
