[Lodeus]

Nice read. Gonna be awesome if it works right.

good to see madden helping out the defense too..that hasn't been done in a while hopefully those formations play like they should

And to think there are people on here that really believe that Ian and co. are not doing enough for this years version. WOW JUST WOW!

I'm hoping this is better represented as well. That would truly be the evolution of computer game planning and play calling. Not only what teams do on certain down and distance but also what personnel is in the game in certain down and distance. If the cpu team has a power back he should be in short yardage packages. What are the percentage of plays Reggie Bush is lined up in the slot? Are carries gonna be properly distributed on teams that use multiple backs? If this can be implemented, the single player experience will be awesome.

p.s. The whole Wes Welker in the slot screams for designated defensive assignments. I can't remember if those are in or not.

This was the type of blog i was waiting for. You could play each team the same in previous maddens, and i'm glad teams will adjust in future years based on personnel in franchise. Sweet.

FOOTBALL STRATEGY!!

Thanks for the Link

That was great info, and will really bring playing the franchise mode to another level of realism.

Very Nice !

I think the WR/DB interaction blog awhile back said this feature was in so it is there to help out.

I'll answer for him. No. Not at all. Why would it be?
