The one in the OP isn't the meaty blog though...

Man, I haven't been this excited about Madden in years. I'm still a bit skeptical to see if everything works as advertised, but if it does, it's gonna be a good season for football video gaming.

New video:

Loving the presentation aspect shown throughout the video. I take it that the DPP traits will be shown throughout in this manner based on what takes place in game? Very nice if so. The end TD was kind of cheesy and predictable, hoping it was just to show off the feature and not that easy to succeed everytime.

The thing that gets me is that there is NO way the presentation is that good in the game. It can't be.

That's exactly what I was thinking, if the commentary is that good, i'll be sold.

All those overlays and whatnot won't be there saying the tendency just went up etc. That's marketing at work.

Cool! But one thing in the video was the cool 3d graphic showing how DPP affects the players on the field. Was that manufactured for the trailer, or is that in the game?

I wasn't talking about that. I was mainly talking about the voiceover. That was specifically crafted for the video.

Great video to show DPP. But yeah, the presentation was made for that video, including the play by play commentary.

Nevertheless, what matters to me is what we're seeing with players changing throughout and tendencies changing. I'm loving this. Putting a QB in the dirt often will really rattle him. Maybe even to the point that you'd consider pulling him if he were rattled and erratic on throws. It really will bring the "game manager" type QB into play vs the gunslingers like Jay Cutler.

Thanks for pasting the whole blog. At least I believe that's the whole blog. Obviously it isn't that hard to go to their site, but I appreciate the added convenience of not having to.

DPP sounds extremely interesting. I really hope they can pull this off without too many (there inevitably will be some) hitches. Could be huge.

Thanks Chase for confirming. Can you comment on what The GIGGAS asked about the specific commentary?

Does anyone know what triggers which players are shown in the pause menu screens we are seeing?

Just read the meaty blog, sounds great. It won't be perfect, but it looks like they will take a boring and lifeless game and make it into something dynamic and exciting. Franchise mode will be so very much improved!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Dynamic Player Performance Examined

I'm interested and concerned how this will work with rookies. I don't mean the preexcisting rookies like Cam Newton or Patrick Peterson. I mean the NCAA imported rookies. I would think the Madden random generated rookies would be fine since Madden created them but what about the imported draft classes? I mean last I checked NCAA QBs didn't even have the same accuracy ratings(deep accuracy, short accuracy, med accuracy). How does Madden plan on approaching this potential issue? The imported NCAA rookies is one of my favorite features of the 2 games even though there are usualy issues with it. I think it's the realism and the fact I could play with a guy in NCAA and bring him over to my Cowboys franchise in Madden. But if their Dynamic Player Performance is screwed up or generic/non-existent or their traits are wacked I'm not so sure it will be such a great feature. I would really appreciate a dev chiming in on this, thanks.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Dynamic Player Performance Examined

so basically,
scrambling QB's are gonna scramble now

i hate facing a team with a QB known for breaking out a decent run and they never leave the pocket. i dont even feel threatened or have to adjust my gameplan. I just play them the same as I would any other stationary QB.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Dynamic Player Performance Examined

That's awesome, clutch is losing to the Eagles in the 4th QTR for the Miracle at the Meadowlands Pt. 2 huh? Eli looks HUGE in there though.

Hopefully that pass rush, and the little frozen moments, and everything that was in that video isn't just them trying to make the game look great, and they strip all of that out in the gameplay.

It sounds like when there is an NFL season, there will be much less increases / decreases the player's overall just based on one week, but instead more adjustments to their consistency and confidence!
