Re: Five Things EA Sports must do for Success in Madden NFL 13

There's a HUGH difference between running into a guy on your own team and fully engaging to block a guy on your own team head up with both hands on his chest.

What good is a great mid-air collision if guys don't even recognize who's on their own team?

No wonder the DB's are laying out their own guys.

Didn't Gholdson do this in the NFC playoff game?

Yes but one engine atleast offers the ability for these events to take place. Now it just needs the right programming to be entered , so it can occur properly.

Don't you think that is a start?

I'm more concerned about the football that leads to and produces the collision than whether its pretty or not. I'd prefer stick figures playing good football than any players, real or otherwise, playing bad football.

I need a game that is more about the football than watching people fall down.

Collision detection has always been an issue with madden, I just hope and pray one day it will be where it should be and we can finally reach that level of play to kill these threads each and every year.

One thing I did notice that EA listened too (or actually stumbled upon) was when people had quit on you in an online game, you had to play the CPU to get you win in most cases. I remember asking for this to be like it is now, where you get the win automatically when they quit. I can give them credit for that.

I just hate to think if things continue on this track, that I will never get to play a Madden game that finally hit all the notes and wishlists.

STRIP BUTTON!!!!

Please fix this, its very annoying to have people tackling with the "strip button" now than they are with making a good tackle.

My idea: Make it to where it has to be clicked on a timely basis, engage one of many animations that can result in a strip animation to occur. With a great risk vs reward system behind this, it would be how the hitstick "used" to be. You try for a strip, doesnt mean you are going to make the tackle if the strip isnt successful.

Re: Five Things EA Sports must do for Success in Madden NFL 13

i agree with these but also add warping, ol/dl interaction, small things on superstar like immersion and things actually working, franchise needs better draft experience and for the love of god something like the madden 06 pc training camp mod. you have a player with a shortfall you address it at camp like tebows throwing action, or alex smith making the right reads.

forget overalls, just have the stats so that the stats that affect an action are used and not anything else. therefore you can make something of a player if you use him one way because if you dont thats a roster spot and money tied up.

in fact use some things from 06, or hc 06/09.

I don't understand why EA doesn't use ESPN for Madden? Someone tell me why, EA be wise and have ESPN help you with Madden like 2K (Sega) did in 2K5. Somethings that need to be fix:

1) Superstar, we've seen 2K12's My Player, time to step up the career mode

2) More Physics and Gameplay focus, you got the graphics, now focus on gameplay

3) Online, yah I don't have Madden 12, but I heard the Online Franchise was kind of lackluster and online multiplay hasn't changed yet. Maybe Ultimate team + Online Franchise?? You and up to 32 friends have a fantasy dream draft with the likes of NFL Legends and play a franchise with the players you drafted (You could also export those dream teams you created to match up with #4


4) (Just a little treat, not really important) Classic teams/Teambuilder-like Create a Team/Gameface. Classic teams would be awesome, Teambuilder to make those teams who were left out and Gameface to create those players faces. (You can uploaded your Madden Teambuilder teams and Gameface Player DNAs to EA Sport s servers) This is this one of the things EA Sports has beat on 2K (excluding Classic Teams), but these things are only limited to a certain amount of games. Time to pull the guns for Madden. Gamefaces can also be your Superstar, so you can recreate Joe Montanas Career, Revive Ryan Leaf's, anything.

EA, I hope you're listen cause these 4 things can help Madden. Gameplay will be enhanced, Online will be better, and customaization will be re-created.

The Madden Pro Bowl games for ps3 & xbox 360 have been a disappointment because they have the players wearing those generic helmets with the "A" or "N" for their logos. EA, for a realistic game please have the players wear their own team helmets like they do in the real life. I hope you make that change for Madden 2013.

Re: Five Things EA Sports must do for Success in Madden NFL 13

Ever since Madden landed on next-gen consoles, there has been a plethora of issues that seem to go unfixed every year. As gamers, we cannot seem to get an answer one way or another as to why these issues persist -- Is it just not possible to fix these issues given with what the developers have to work with? No matter the answer, the issues remain. With Madden 13 possibly being the last Madden to be exclusively on the current-gen systems, will we see some of the fixes we have been clamoring for, or do we simply have to put this generation behind us and hope for best on the upcoming new systems?

Without further adieu, here is the top five fixes EA must make for Madden NFL 13.

this is the same list that's been talked about since '06 for the 360 came out. i think it's time to admit that none of this is going to happen this gen. one of those, "if it was gonna happen, it would've happened" type situations.

Yeah, it seems like you can ride the ball carrier's back and if you don't strip, you'll spin the ball carrier down anyway.

I hate the strip animation. I wish defenders would try to punch at the ball and stuff - and like you said, make it a separate move, not a tackling move.

Also, when a defender stands up a ball carrier, have the next guy there sometimes try to punch out the ball (new DPP trait?) like they do in the real game.

Re: Five Things EA Sports must do for Success in Madden NFL 13

if they dont FINALLY fix the simmed season stats in franchise i dont know what ima do. i think might actually do it since there was 3 5000 yd qbs this year and 10 total over 4000, in madden youre lucky if you get 2 4000 yd qbs. they need tof inally fix the sack numbers too but thats been messed up so long i doubt it
