But there will be an update, so there's good news heh....

No you dont.Wait till the update comes out to purchase it.YOu can probably find it cheaper too.

Since I found out we couldnt change teams mid-franchise I've decided to wait and purchase it used.That way when ever I do get it ,The old controls will be there.

Besides NCAA is banging!

Thanks for the post Phil and the blog Ian.
It seems like nearly every improvment to the game is based off data from online consoles. So only online gamers are shaping Madden?

Good. The old style is being patched through. Now, we can stop all the complaining about the small, albeit unnecessary change.

Just wish they would do the same thing for QB Vision, though...

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog: GameFlow and The Strategy Pad

I'm so happy about this.

I'll be able to sleep better at night and some people can get back to their nanos quicker.

Very happy they are allowing the option to put it back the way it was. The pre-play controls were never broken, EA just wants to make it easy for the dumb "first time" madden player who has no idea what he is doing. The hot route system that has been around for years is great, quick, and easy. Why make a complete overhaul on a system that is effiecient? With the new strategy pad it take double the time, and with the addition of accelerated clock in these last few years, there is now less time to make pre-play adjustments. Glad they are keeping the old way. I hope they scrap the "strategy pad" for Madden 12.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog: GameFlow and The Strategy Pad

so on a side note...

when using the new strategy pad I still don't know how to:

1. double a WR
2. assign a blitz to a defender
3. take a route and turn it into a smart route ( a route that takes me beyond a 1st down marker)

any help would be great?

thanks
