Madden Daily Dev... One week until Mike and I leave to present to E3 judges. Dynamic Player Performance will be a major focus of our talk.

10 May

This is from twitter... I think this pretty much answers your question

I heard a rumor that they are getting Naughty by Nature to sing "Are you down with D.P.P." at E3.

Im thinking its going to be some sort of owner mode. If so it shouldnt be that big of a feature since we've already had it in the past.

I don't see how you guys are thinking it is anything other than Dynamic Player Performance after reading Phil Frazier's tweet I just posted and that the blog on June 6 is going to be dedicated to this feature.

Because it says the main feature is unannounced yet. Dynamic Player Performance has already been announced and gone over in detail so that's why people are thinking it's something else.

Well based on the fact that Shopmaster stated there is no "sexy feature", I think it's fair to say it will be about Dynamic Player Performance. We know what it is, but it has not been talked about (how it works and changes) or explained very much at all. It has certainly not been "gone over in detail." I would fully expect that to be the feature that they are waiting to talk about.

The feature also could be player tendencies. If you think about it, these haven't been touched on at all, aside from that teaser trailer.

Sounds very probable. It is supposed to be a gameplay feature and Dynamic Player Performance is about changes to ratings (which of course affect gameplay), whereas Player Tendencies is directly linked to gameplay.

Come on! You guys don't really know? It is..... of course..... Madden Zombie Mode. I mean come on, what game doesn't have zombies now? It was inevitable that madden would do it. Just imagine the commentary.

Not sure if it was mentioned in this thread but who said there was an unannounced feature in Madden 12? Is there a link?

Yeah but I think player tendencies falls under DPP since that would play a part, along with consistency and confidence, in how each individual player performs on the field.

What's the biggest gameplay change?
That's something EA has not revealed yet. We're hoping that's the focus of Madden NFL 12 at E3 2011. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/116/1168424p1.html

While it has been revealed (I think through the franchise announcements), it hasn't been officially "announced". It is scheduled to have it's own blog on June 6. That is when EA will consider it officially an announced feature. Phil said this will be the focus of e3. This is their biggest feature this year.

I disagree my friend. Player tendencies is completely unrelated to dynamic ratings. Tendencies will make each player unique, or at least the way I think it'll be implemented. It'll give us control to how the player behaves in-game. I recall the teaser trailer showing us LT, and giving options to how he'll run the ball (seeking contact and that kind of thing). Could def be a game changer...

Dynamic ratings is a different discussion in my opinion...

We will find out for sure June 6th but I think you are confusing DPP with being a single feature like Player Roles. Player Roles seem to be a specific feature that gives various earned monikers to players but DPP seems to be a collection of features that create dynamic player performance.

The only part of DPP that has been stated to temporarily affect ratings is confidence, in the form of hot and cold streaks. Consistency seems to affect how accurately a player performs up to their ratings, I guess. While Player Tendencies seems to dictate a players on field habits.

I am not disagreeing with you about Player Tendencies being talked about at E3, I am just saying that seems to be one of the various features that create DPP.
