Preplay Controls

[TNT713]

I'm glad someone brought this up... I don't play NCAA and am unfamiliar with it's controls, but I wish EA would quit trying to be cute with the Madden interface and pulling the old model. The Strategy Pad was a nice thought, but EA must stop hijacking it's consumers when an experimental feature is added. There is no reason QB Vision or Strategy Pad should have supplanted the traditional defaults in the first year of existence before we had the opportunity to try them.

Madden 10 config... Hmph! How about MADDEN CONFIG. Leave the friggin buttons alone. They work the way they are. If you're gonna add something ADD it. Don't subtract what we trust in the process.

Why is there an option to choose Strategy Pad or minimized controls? They both work when the controls are minimized... SMH.

I still prefer the 2005 setup.

Later

I think the 2010 option is the '05 setup..

Y/Triangle for coverage changes
LB/L1 for Line changes
RB/R1 for LB changes..

I didn't play last years version, so maybe i'm slow, but how in the world do you have time to make defensive adjustment in the Maddden demo?? Barely get time to adjust line before the ball is snapped.

But to audible and some other controls are still with the dpad no matter which one this year you pick.

This is my biggest gripe with this years game. I want the old style back along with more time to make adjustments. If the demo is any indication of qbs being able to scramble for huge yardage I definitely want to make several adjustments to attempt the contain all of the online players that will be using vick and the eagles.

I don't think the game allows me to do the following any more due to time issues.
1) cycle players until I find the one I want to set as a spy
2) set DE to contain
3) set delayed BnR
4) cycle players til I get to the MLB which I use post snap

This is a deal breaker for me so I will wait and see what the first day/week buyers say. If I was an offline franchise player I could probably live with it, but I play all of my games online and I know that a lot of players will be using the eagles so this will be very important to me. Maybe if they don't fix this then I should just jump on the eagles bandwagon. If cutler and rodgers are getting big yardage in the demo, I can only imagine how much more damage vick will do with someone that has good stick skills.

NCAA. Why? Quick audibles! Such a great weapon, but when you have to scroll through them to select, it takes away any advantage. If I feel a blitz coming and I want to audible to a quick pass, my opponent will see what I'm audibling. Kinda takes all the strategy out of it. NCAA, on the other hand, has quick audibles tied to the D-pad.

I generally only use the quick audibles (run, pa pass, quick pass, long pass) so I use the right stick..

You can do that in madden 12? Im pretty sure it made me use the dpad instead in the demo!
