Catch 22/How can EA Make Madden More Sim Without Making It More Difficult?

agree 100%...long live the cone (once it's ressurected)

A simple fix would be to bring the cone back but with an option for those who don't want to use it to turn it off. That would allow sim gamers much more realism while arcade players the simplicity of the non-cone system.

The problem I have with the all madden difficulty historically, is that I always feel the AI has the wrong advantages. Traditionally, they have made the game harder by making the CPU players faster, able to break blocks more easily, able to break tackles more easily, and more accurate with QBs than the human's players. I don't want it to be hard because the CPU DB can run a route before the reciever does or because his players have their physical attributes increased. I'd like to see the most difficult mode be harder because the CPU reacts faster, has better fundamentals, and has a better gameplan than it does on the lower levels.

This is an easy question! Better football fundamentals.

What catch 22? There's no catch 22. The reason you hated the cone is because it takes longer to hold the trigger and press the button each time you want to look at a different receiver than it does for a QB in real life to move his eyes. It has nothinig to do with being too complex.

Agreed. Fixing the basic player movement/interaction would be a start

I don't think they can make the game sim without making it more difficult, but that's OK with me. Get me a sim game, and I will put the time in to master it.

I don't see why it can't be a normal/hardcore type thing as with CoD. CoD is vastly different if you play normal vs playing hardcore.

On the other hand, why can't madden be pure sim, since EA is making another arcade game.
