Imagine if Madden hadn't removed these features....

Also, as a separate reply to TNT...

Reasons why you don't like something aren't reasons why the feature should be removed from the game. I don't like MUT, but I don't think it should be removed from the game.

If you play a franchise, you'll see teams continuously resign the same players. Players need to leave teams for greener pastures or bigger paydays. There isn't much free agent movement in franchise mode. 3) In-game Scores ticker--it was cool being able to see the score of other games that are going on during your game

This feature would ROCK in online franchise modes, keeps people in the know on the fly. Also it will also let people know their chances of making the playoffs or who they're gonna play next in a playoff setting!

TNT,

Post it on the forum man, I dont think it will hurt, im pretty sure we all would like to read it!

Man, that still happens today!

If EA locked out that player in regular online games until he actually came back to play would be nice. But I'd settle for the player getting even more jacked up by playing injured if the guy who puts him back knows the risk is far greater than it used to be for pulling stunts like that. Like in the Steeler's v 49er game or the Broncos v Steeler's playoff game. Ben was hurt and it showed and he took that risk and failed, thats how it should be in madden!

There was a good thread a few weeks ago where this topic was debated. I personally found run/pass commit kind of gimmicky. I used it, and got really good with it when it was available, but it was really just a band aide for the poor programming of the defensive AI to get then to do what they should've already been doing.

I'm in favor of a slightly different, more comprehensive way to communicate with the defense that was more strategy based.

4. Being able to individually make your corners play press or off coverage.

Actually, individual coverages are in the game. The shading inside/out isn't where it needs to be, but they did add the feature back for Madden 12.

I already posted it. [email protected]

If anyone here wants to email me, feel free. I don't care. I block spam.

What ever happened to that chat window box thingy Meboo or what ever they called it? On April 1st it went down and hasn't come back. I keep checking my user CP and it is set to on, but it's gone. I was starting to enjoy that thing. I didn't think it was a feature in Madden [to be removed, brought back and then pretend it is new]

I thought the vision cone was absolute garbage myself but they should have left it on as an option for other USERs who liked it...

[TNT713]

I really don't want this to become a "QB Vision" thread...

But the paper didn't say anything about taking QB Vision out of the game. It merely analyzed the QB Vision system and compared it to the traditional passing system and illustrated several reasons it didn't work as well as it was intended...

In a game where the user was at ground level - ala Superstar - QB Vision makes a ton more sense because with the camera closer to ground level the QB's eyes become more important - especially if you're on defending.

Sent the paper to PG... Anyone else that wants to give it a read is welcome to PM me with their email and I'll be happy to send it.

Later

Then why do you continue to make it one?
