Re: Sprinting, your opinion please

hate tapping. too arcade-like.

plus, our controllers are quite expensive. I don't want to have to go buy a new controller every year cause my friend came over and decided he would mash the hell out of my X button just cause he thought his player wasn't moving fast enough.

no thanks. if you want an option to set your own button config fine. but I'll use the R2 trigger for sprinting thank you very much.


why not just eliminate sprinting alltogether? kinda saying this tongue in cheek, but think about it, why not do the reverse? players sprint unless you hold down a slow down button. would be used in the run game and in screens to follow your blockers. i'd rather see this than button mashing. button mashing's for kids.

No kidding about the controllers. I'm on my 5th controller now, just for little ole me. The buttons keep going out. I didn't realize it, but those things have a year warranty. Stupid me just kept throwing them away and buying a new one. I've now spent almost as much on controllers as I have no my 360 (ok, not really, I have 2x 360's because I didn't want to wait for the first one to get back after it RRoD'd).

lol, dude you gotta have the worst luck i have ever seen. 360's have some real problems but the controllers is not one of them aside form the D pad. hell i have not had a controller go out on me since the 8-bit NES days.

as for the speed burst it really don't matter. I almost want it gone let the along stick and ratings govern it.

Re: Sprinting, your opinion please

I say neither, do it like the NHL series where speed is determined by the players speed rating...

No. I don't think many people would like this idea. I mean come on, hold a button down to go SLOW!! Heck no.

Re: Sprinting, your opinion please

Kane's idea is actually pretty awesome if you think about it. Use the RT like a speed button on a car, and the harder + longer you hold it down, the faster you go. Couple that with special moves, and that would make for an amazing running mechanism.

It's much more rewarding to tap a button and outsprint someone than to hold a button with no effort whatsoever. I wish EA can incorporate this into Madden. If they change it, it will cause power players to be more relevant as well. The last couple of Madden games I just drafted the fastest players, gave them the ball and outsprinted everyone. boringgggg

What is your opinion?
i) tap a button to sprint
ii) press and hold a button to sprint

You could always max out the CPU Pursuit setting to make it tougher for you to get to the edge and outrace them for the TD, right?
