Oh well. 99% of his videos do have a valid point though. Ian did the patch have any improvements that would explain why he felt this play was better or was this just a "placebo" effect as he so often refers to?

The only fixes we made were the ones listed in the patch fixes post: http://www.easports.com/madden09/ful...twoweek_update

Madden 09 is a game full of randomness...I've seen the exact same play run to perfection and I've also seen it run with players doing pretty horrible assignments. I don't think we specifically addressed anything passing-related for him to claim that it's better in this video.

out of his videos i think you need to adress the weight of players, and the player ratings(the brett favre thing was ridiculous)

Well, I am just glad someone took the time to do this... We all have been thinking this stuff, just none of us wanted to put in the time (we aren't getting paid)...

It is the video age, and seeing is believing. Say what you want, but this guy is doing a service to the Madden community. Natural Motion for the win....

Hopefully they also watch his videos of that "other" game made 4 years ago which illustrate exactly how lacking Madden is.


As he says in his vids. Theres just no excuse.

what's the "brett favre thing"?

I guess Im alone, but I think he is being a little unrealistic and inaccurate with some of his expectations for the games mechanics.

Sometimes it seems like he mis analyzes things for the sake of proving his point. For instance one video where he complains about the running defense he pauses the game at a point where you cant truly tell what the game was trying to do and explains it to fit his analysis. I think his expectations for the game dont always fit into real football logic.

How many times have you watched real football and seen a boneheaded play, mistep, or call that made you think "Damn, if that happened in madden I would be pissed off and said teh game was broken" It seems like some of his issues fit into that category.

This is not to say that many of his videos dont make good sense and show excellent points, but I wouldnt go so far as to categorically claim him as an excellent analyzer of the games flaws.
