Do you think it might be that the demo drive was on rookie? I was under the impression that anytime the game was played and the players had buttons under them that it was rookie setting.
 
It's possible, but you wonder what EA's thinking by making you go through the AI test and then not even applying those settings to the game.

Just to see what it's like...they did say this demo was more for the general audience so they probably made the 1 minute section easier by putting it all on rookie so people could score
 
One thing I hope this game has that NCAA didn't is the ability to sub players in for certain play packages and plays. How it isn't in NCAA is baffling so I'm hoping it isn't the same in madden.

They did bring back sub-formations. Loved doing it in '05. :D

Last night was the first time I got into the game situation without doing the Madden tests and it seemed like players dropped helluva lot more passes than before. I never even noticed the dropped passes you guys were talking about before last night. Really not sure if that was just my good luck or if the madden tests really have some effect on the gameplay in the demo.
 
Hey, looks like I'll have to drop out, I'm going to be on a business trip from next week all the way onto mid-september, and my hotel tv won't have xbox connections. :-(

Sorry, I'll try again once this nonsense is over.

Isn't it supposed to modify the difficulty based on the scores that you receive in the "Madden Test?"
 
Gentlemen;

Bad news. I have decided that I will not get Madden 2009 for the Xbox 360 upon release. Now my question to you is when will this league start?

I'm thinking about a week or so (two at most) after release. That should give everyone time to get the game and get a few practice games in.

Hunter D, noted.

If thats the case then I want to host a madden 09 early bird tournament starting on the 13th. The tourney will be done within 6 days so it will fit in easily.

You could call it the "Vumpler Whine and Cheese Tourney".

I keed I keed. :lol :lol
 
AirBrian said:
So are you excited or petrified about Favre coming to the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS?
Click to expand...
Excited. And petrified.

But having hope in my heart for the Jets is a rare thing. It actually feels like genuine hope this year and not an annual failed ritual of hope.
 
I'm sure you've seen this then:

Yeah, you know what...I'm really sorry, but I don't know how much of certain people I can take. I'm in way over my head here.

So guys, does everyone have a League Daddy account? :lol

I know madden isn't keeping stats but do we really need to :-/ After all the hype of not using LD anymore and now going back is killller.

If we have to, we have to. But uhg

I think most do, but the bad news is I think FMT had to pay to host a league there.

And I paid for the Rookies league last year. I have no problems picking it up this year, that just means I'll skip out on the CE.

And vumpler, the scheduling is horrible too. Do you really want to play 32 games in one season? Because that's what we'll have to do since EA makes you play every team once.
 
wait WTF they don't record stats? what kind of "online league" bullshit is that

must be to make way for nhl's massive awesomeness...

:lol are you serious? I read the review but I didn't read that part :lol

Fuck.

LD it is
 
I think we should just wait and see what happens when the game actually comes out. Who knows, maybe EA will get their crap straightened out.

pheeniks, is it EA's or 2K's NHL?

Looks like stats are tracked if unique rosters is set to on. The scheduling is still FUBAR. :|
 
FMT just made an excellent point. It would be a MUCH better solution than doing league daddy:

FrenchMovieTheme said:
2. we don't know about the scheduling issue yet.

a work around COULD be we split the league into 2 (16 AFC 16 NFC) and have the winner of each play for the superbowl. this would suck ass because it would almost be like baseball used to be where you don't play the other conference all season.

Oh, that is a good idea. Obviously, it's not ideal, but it's better then LD. There's also the rumor that you can get the real NFL schedule if you have a full 32-player team. Keep hope alive!

Let's hope this is true...otherwise, I say we go with FMT's idea for at least the 1st season. If that doesn't work out, then I guess we go back to league daddy.

It's been confirmed that the 32 man league idea was false. Split them bitches up!
 
AirBrian said:
Yeah, but a 16-player league would only mean 15 games. :lol

LD is looking pretty good about now... :-(

15 games isn't terrible at all. It's one game shy and an odd number. Not the end of the world.
