Re: Super Star mode still Unchanged Again?

A game like Goal Line Blitz proved that there is a need and a want for a football RPG-style game.

If a well-implemented football RPG was created, with realistic progression and interactions with coaches (especially on sideline), teammates, and the media, as well as ways to make your AI teammates better, less repetitive practices, and incentives to be humble or to be arrogant, choosing your own path always has benefits and drawbacks.

Bioware could probably make a great RPG-esque system for this, and EA owns them...now there's a pipe dream

Anyway, I'd rather have other parts of the game improved, but I was so excited when this mode came out, only to play it and be extraordinarily disappointed by how bad it was. It would be great to have a good version of this, even if the RPG-style thing is $15 DLC because there isn't room on the disc.

SS has potential to be something really fun. In NHL 09 I never touched the franchise because I was playing Be a pro.

That being said though...Franchise is no where it needs to be and I think they should make small changes to SS and completely boost franchise for M11.

Re: Super Star mode still Unchanged Again?

how about they sell madden for $10 cheaper and make a superstar dlc for $10 and use the extra disc space for commentary and animations and stuff. i kno it will never happen but for the people who actually want it, they'll buy it.

I really never bother with SS mode myself. But I am sure josh looman has fixed SS mode up this year to where some of you that love that mode will enjoy more.

He surely tuned some stuff (which was needed badly). But he probably spent 1% of his time on Superstar since franchise was Madden 10's #1 priority both off and online.

Superstar Mode kicker would be fun. If the loading screens were really fast it would be a blast to finish a season in like half an hour. And finish a career in like 5 hours.

NEED TO HAPPEN<o></o>
- Your Superstar should never begin as a starter.
- Set up pre-season goals, even if you meet all of them Place accordingly, NO Starter though
- More Road to the Show affect, Lower Superstar rating, with High potential.
- By low rating I mean somewhere from 55-76 tops
- Better Play calling
- Situational use of your player, He might just be a Special teams player his entire rookie season.
- Make becoming a starter very difficult and sometimes lengthy. You will get on the field anyways at any position besides maybe fullback and QB.
- Make the Performance institute a must weekly task, No simulation or negative effects on ratings. No gain on ratings though
- Progression only by great players (89+ overall) or Play performance on the field. Maybe a slight rating (1-3 points) boost because of high potential
- Off Season task and scheduling, Mini camp, OTA’s, etc. . . .
- Realistic FA, and Signing logics
- Commentary and In-depth analysis on Player.
- Also, post game interviews, the ability to set your personality would be amazing additions.
<o></o>
ON FIELD <o></o>
- Improve the gameplay
- Ability to watch action while your off the field
- ^^ include multiple angles & occasional cut scenes on your player on the sideline
- NEW dialogue, Sound effects and crowd chants, yells to change superstar feel
- Recordable Chants for crowd to cue, sounding like a crowd ( MLB Show stuff)
- More In-Depth Positional Specific Control Scheme (More control) Maybe adding trigger/bumper modifiers.
- Add On field emotion and personalities
- Hard Work, No simulation or easy roads build your Superstar into a superstar
- Automatic 15 minute Quarters, with Accelerated clock and realistic CPU usage of clock. What I mean by that is, No domination in T.O.P. or Minimal clock usage of Opponent unless the situation requires speed up.
- Become a Fan Favorite!

Re: Super Star mode still Unchanged Again?

something i think would be cool is if they changed how you create your superstar and trained him. for example, when you first make your superstar, you could keep most of the current drills. instead of some, you could replace them with some of the old gen training things. for instance, when doing one of the defensive lineman training drills, it has you and two teammates trying to to tackle a running back. i don't really see how this tests your superstars ability since whenever the running back runs in a direction opposite yours, he usually scores. i also don't see how it tests if your defensive lineman superstar should get better at his "power" move or "finesse" move. if they replaced this with the defensive lineman drill from say madden 2003 where your d-lineman squared off against an o-line man, that would make more sense as you actually go up against an o-line man and you have no one to rely upon but yourself. Another thing the madden team could do is put more work into the off season. for example, in nba 2k8, when the off season came around, there were a number of things you could have your players do as long as you fullfiilled the required achievement list. I think this would be a nice addition to a pretty bland offseason. anyone else have any thoughts?
