Anyone worried about Dynamic player performance????

That's my position. I'm not worried, but I'm not expecting it to be a fully realized system in M12.

Kind of like Gameplanning. It has potential, but I found I went back to calling plays manually because the play selection was not well enough implemented situationally, especially on defense. So this year they're taking steps to try to address that.

If they're smart they'll put in an option to disable DPP just in case, but I expect I'll want to use it and try it out. Sounds like fun. And, if my whole team goes cold, hey, I'm a Giants fan. I've seen that movie before.

If they did, we would cry that the game is broken because Peyton Manning never has a bad game.

This. It's already in the game in the sense that players don't play the same game every game...this is self-evident.

However, what isn't in the game, is a noticeable impact to ratings based on consistency, which I think is 100% a good thing to add more variability than is already there.

Also, depending on how large the effect is, it may turn out to be more of a "fluff" feature that doesn't change the franchise experience much.

Dynamic player performance is not in the game already.

I play a lot of franchise, and Madden 11 deoes not have players abilities change weekly for me. There are no streaks.

Yeah, I play franchise only also, and gameplay is pretty predictable, within a predictable range, once you have your sliders set. I don't see streaks in the game, just natural random variations around a stable set of ratings.

It can't be because I'm not playing as the same team each week. I've seen mcnabb in my game have a bad season so far...real bad...I've played as him 2x in 5 games. he was just on a cold streak or something...I'm not playing as him every game. Plus I play as other teams and my own games have their own ups and downs. Fitzpatrick has been great for me and the cpu.

I have to agree with the poster who said this is something that's already in the game. I laughed when I read the dev blog that said he's played every franchise mode ever and players always play the same way. Different elements of dpp have been in franchise modes since I've been playing franchise modes. Even madden. How else can you explain my team having a different overall rating week in and week out in franchise mode, even when I've made no roster moves?

Im not gonna say its gonna fail. Im saying an aspect of it is already there. They may just now be calling it a "feature" or more likely, they are expanding upon it to make it more significant. But it has already been there, and has been a large part of various franchise modes the past few years.

Weird, I've never seen that. I play franchise exclusively and I'm in year 13 in M11. But I haven't seen team OVR ratings change in franchise without roster moves among the starters.

I'm not doubting you, just asking, has anyone else ever seen this?
