Re: I've played ~40 hours of Madden 17: AMAlmost Anything (Answers in first post)

Did you try to freelance with defensive players, i.e., have players completely ignore their assignment, to see if it caused major problems for the defense. I don't even play H2H, but I would love it if Users had to stop playing hero ball on defense and actually follow their assignment.

I definitely saw some situations where I played force wrong and let a guy get outside of me and he was gone.

One of my peeves in Madden has been how any User defenders can ad lib like Troy Polamalu, with little to no consequences, regardless of their players assignment/responsibility within the play called.

Do these changes potentially effect that in anyway and if so, how?

Edit: Just saw jfsolo asked something similar but I would still like further clarification if possible.

My guess is that price just made some mistakes in reading or executing and got beat, but I have to believe that if people were to play in the traditional "run all over the field" Madden style that they will fail miserably. If not, then all of what they've implemented is just for naught.

On paper, Madden has a chance to be a fundamentally different game now, but Users must be allowed to crash and burn if they don't play with discipline and good decision making.

screw it, i'll spill the beans:


1) multiple broadcast teams
2) deeper espn integration
3) return of superstar mode
4) team builder + stadium editor
5) formation subs + defensive assignments
6) nfl combine drills


biggest one of them all:

7) return of real draft classes

It's very cruel to tease us like that.

Mr Price was one of your favorite features the new ball physics mentioned here? http://www.gameinformer.com/games/ma...-and-more.aspx

He's saying its rating based

Most likely the window is ratings based.

Some sequences I saw:

Defender punches out a fumble from the back right, ball flies forward and left into arms of DB who catches it and returns it for a TD.

Pass over the middle is not caught by WR but tipped in air, other WR catches it on a full dive.

QB gets hit as he throws, ball comes out rotating on its side axis, pops up in the air, pick.

QB passes, tipped at line by d lineman, pops in air, pick.

RB has ball stripped, turns head to locate it, dives on it, pushes it away, kicked and then recovered by offense.

And so. Much. More.

How's the kick meter?
Button presses not analog sticks, I hope?
Are punts similar to a golf game where you choose your shot/kick type prior to the snap?
Do backspin punts naturally have less power versus normal punts?
Does the CPU take advantage of this or do they still boom punts straight through the goal posts with no regard for human life?

Kick meter is 3 taps of the A/X button. No lag online as the simulation is done on the local console, ratings determine impact of inaccuracy, difficulty speeds up meter and makes penalties higher.

Yes
Yes
The CPU takes advantage of all its tools.

This is absolutely great. One last question, does the accuracy portion of the meter vary based on ratings? Or is every kicker's accuracy portion the same and lower accuracy ratings just impacts that more?

No bobbled snaps can happen during special teams plays

And does this mean there are bobbled snaps on normal plays?

AFAIK it's the latter but that is subject to change.

You interpreted that the same way I did, had me thinking the same thing.

I don't think so. I think that's just poorly worded.
