Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

ian,

can you guys please fix an issue were if you edit a player (ex. change position or number) the commentattors dont say there first an last name anymore they just say there last name like genericly

for instance if i edit lets say aaron rodgers idk i give him wristband or something then collinsworth will never say aaron rodgers again he will just say rodgers and he wont say his little story about him taking over for a lengend an blah blah and how hes smart an gutsy

so if i edit any player at all they no longer talk about them and it takes away from the authenticity of the players so now i cant even change anyones position in franchise cuz ill lose that please fix thanks

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Why are the wrong QB cutscenes triggering after a score? - We were told that you guys knew of this issue and that it wouldn't be in the final build.

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Let me make this perfectly clear so I don't need to spend my afternoon giving out infractions.

- Ask your question and be respectful

- Don't comment on how this thread is being used, monitored or speculate if it's been abandoned.

Some of you our treading a fine line of trolling so if you don't want a break from the forums stop.

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

1) What exactly does the "Aggressive' slide protection audible do? What are its strengths and weaknesses. This is not addressed in the Prima strategy guide, or the instruction book.

Isn't football an aggressive game? Why wouldnt I want my players to always be aggressive?


2) Does pressing the strip ball button when you have the opponent wrapped up in a pro-tak tackle do anything?

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Hi Ian is the 3-4 defense gonna be addressed with dominat nt's being double teamed to free up the linebackers?

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Two questions I have that I do not believe have been addressed here are

1. What is wrong with the pass rush that causes it to be easier to get sacks with the strong side DE than with the weak side DE which should be getting all the sacks? Something is broken in the logic there. To test this, play with the Falcons who have a 94 rated weak side pass rushing DE who destroys OTs in real life for a whole game against a bad O-line and see how many sacks you get and then play with the scrub who should be selling beer in the stands 70 rated no talent strong side DE against the same O-line and see how many more sacks you can get even though you have to beat the TE or HB in addition to the RT on most plays. Something is messed up either in the pass protection logic or the pass rush logic. It should be easier to get sacks with the weak side DE.

2. Is there a way to fix imported draft classes from NCAA 10 to make their ratings translate some what logically? If a guy is 97 in speed in NCAA and is imported into Madden, his speed should never take a 10 point drop. If a guy has a 98 twp in NCAA and is imported to Madden he shouldn't have a 10-15 point drop in throw power. I thought I read before this game came out that this issue was being fixed.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

all of my other questions have been asked, so i'll ask this:
Will field degradation be improved so that it is not uniform, but degrade where action takes place not just because. the field degrades in places where nothing takes place. i know it's minor.

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Where is the game, that the community day guys got to play? From Community day on up til a little after E3, You would post videos and or make blogs about fixes and offer up your experimental antidotes and would even rebut videos and say hey we fix that. Also the Community Day guys bragged about you fixing things and uploading them into the game and those things worked.

With the aforementioned as my witness.

Where is that game? The retail game pail in comparison with Community Day, Blogs, E3, and your rebuttal experiments of fixes in other Q&A's on this forum.

^Hopefully this question gets answered.

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

I'm sorry! I will respect the god that is Ian Cummings now thanks to you Danimal. You are truly an inspiration.

(I fully expect to be banned for this. Which is kind of sad because it's just sarcasm and it's not hurting anyone. But oh well, so is the sad state of affairs at OS these days)

Damn Dude, did you really have to go there??

Anyways, Ian I want to start this off by saying that I am enjoying M10 and I definitely think you guys are moving in the right direction.

With that being said, have you or any of the Dev team played a offline franchise? It just seems that you really have to choose between every player playing like an All Pro or winning every game. And neither one of those options are any fun for us. Hopefully, most of the A.I. issues can be addressed in the 1st patch.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Where is the adaptive AI? Where are the stadium specific sounds? Where is the auto replay frequency slider? Where are some of the cutscenes from pre release vids? Where is the improved pass rush that was shown to us pre release?

That's all from me.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Welcome back, Ian. Great game this year.

Three questions, all of which have probably been asked already:

1. Is the human pass rush against the cpu patchable? If so, will it be/when? My issue is not so much getting to the quarterback, it's the quarterback ALWAYS chucking it or sliding in the pocket instead of letting me hit him. Really irritating.

2. Can online franchise be tweaked at all to give the commissioner more power? Stuff like, requiring approval for trades, the ability to award one team or another the victory (say Player A couldn't play this week, it's unfair to Player B to have a chance at losing a simulation), etc.

3. Is there any way to create a 2nd user profile (PS3)? I seriously can't find it. (And I feel ********.)

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Did Ian get a Intfraction for starting a thread thats say Q&A and then not answering any question, just wondering,,

Per his original post, I believe that he's going to address most (well some) of these questions in a Blog. So how about laying off a bit.

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Damn Dude, did you really have to go there??

Yeah...because they made a half assed game that did not include many things they promised. I call that false advertising and it's against the law. But, nothing will happen and we'll all keep on suckling at the EA power teet.

Give me an infraction for stating my opinion mods. This site is becoming less and less free and more and more fascist by the day. It's pathetic.
