What is fun for them is WINNING. It's a different type of gamer, I definitely don't think that theyre opinion matters more than anyone elses. For christ sakes, it isnt even a large group of people!

EA needs to listen to both groups of players, but for gameplay issues the tourny players should have more of a say IMO.

What gameplay issues? Why?

Over at TML they sell what they call themselves videos of EXPLOITS for $30. Why would tourney players offer up information that could put them over the top? Id think theyd rather hold that one in their back pocket rather than offer it up to the community to better the game.

If you gave 50 tourney players advance beta copies, I bet that 45 of them would offer no real feedback and try to find out the best glitches/nanos before anyone else. This is a completely factless generalization of gathered from reading the cesspool that is known as TML, and watching a few episodes of Madden Nation....

My defensive calls are right on point most times than not but the human controlled QB has way too much time to make reads. The blitz is easy to read and when you try and disguise it, it takes to long to get pressure. The slow speed has removed the identities from every NFL team defense online. Basically ANY average madden player can slice and dice zone coverage or read a blitz and find the open receivers with ease online. I'm not against ppl playing on slow if that's what they need to be competitive. I paid for elite and want to play a more sim like game with tighter defenses. We should have a choice.

When I referred to EA games, I was mainly talking about BAP modes in FIFA and NHL....I think Madden is overall more realistic this year, but I would like to point out that these issues with the slower speeds vs the old normal speed(which honestly was always a little too fast to begin with) have more to do with programming factors than the actual speed of the game...For instance, passing in general needs to be revamped to use some kind of timing mechanic to be a good passer(something like pitching in baseball games, but far less of agraphic, if any, onscreen) ...

I might say that perhaps the speed should be halfway between 'slow' and 'normal' because there are certainly some aspects that make it easier on this current setting, and also not reflective of the speed of Football at times...But I honestly do think Madden has always been too fast to be considered SIM...If EA would make a 1st person game then I think you could get that 'true' NFL on field speed feeling

I am certainly not against different lobbies with different speeds for unranked games, but the speed needs to be uniform in ranked games whether it is slow or fast in order to make it meaningful

I did, but I still think its wrong for them to do what they did.

[Bears_16_and_0]

why is it wrong? are they just as wrong for changing it back to normal?

I love how it seems like these dudes heads explode when you ask them a question. Reminds me of that episode of family guy with the yes man haha. or the chappelle show where the guys head explodes in the clayton bigsby sketch
