Do EA Need to Remove The WildCat from Madden?

[LoRd_iNFamousX1]

It would be ok if people could use the WildCat in certain situations in football that can be used in to mix the run and the pass, but it seem like cheezy no skill what so ever players can't help but embarrass themself by using it on every down on every play, turning Madden into a silly little arcade game. Playing the same play for 45 minutes making the game tediously annoying and boring. In my opinion, since people want to abuse that formation that it should be remove. How you feel about the WildCat?

The Wildcat formation is something that brings that sense of unpredictability into football. As long as it remains a prevalent presence within pro football, it should be included in the game.

Utilizing certain players in the formation to the teams advantage and playing off of those players skill sets can either contain a positive effect or a negative effect, and the sense of the high-risk vs high reward can create that gamble, risk-taking that coaches and teams who implement the wildcat into their system face.

That true but in real life we all know that using the same play the whole will never happen, but in Madden it is the whole game turning it into a exploit, making the game not simulation that EA preaches.

You do make a good point about that and now that I think about it, it would indeed just be against simulation if it gets run over and over again. You do have a very good point. I agree with you for the Wildcat to either be removed or just tweaked to the point where it won't be as effective every single time its implemented to crackdown on the exploits.

Whats the difference between running 5 wildcat plays all game , and running 5 shotgun pass plays all game?

Because the average game doesn't utilize more than 13 plays.

Really? Are you going to defend the wildcat as it stands in Madden? Is that what you really want to do? Just stop it man.

LOL the wildcat is easy as h e ll to stop so i could careless, ONLY BUMS who cant stop the wildcat complain about it. If some tries that crap over & over on me they just going to keep using yards. ALSO if all someone can do is the wild cat then that person aint that good either

Re: Do EA Need to Remove The WildCat from Madden?

I've seen the computer use it some, but they don't play in it all game. I would like it to be more realistic, I want to be able to sub in any player at any position and have him try and make a play. Like set up a screen pass to a ST guy that does kick returns, just give him the ball and see if he can make a play, or put a DT in at FB and have him dive up the middle.

I really don't care about the online players, they will always find a way to cheat or exploit the game and I'm tired of it limiting the offline core franchise gamers.

No. The wildcat was foolishly easy to defend in '10.

Implement it properly, or dont put it in the game at all.

Just program both sides of line of scrimmage to function properly and any potential wildcat cheese, wont be a problem.

Wait...nevermind.

I'd like to keep for offline franchise.

Understand if onliners don't like it.

I'm defending the wildcat. What's your argument against it? It is no more effective than any other traditional run play. And post-patch, some wildcat runs were rendered useless. The wildcat was not overly effective in M10. I've played with and against it countless times online. Anecdotally, I believe its the same as most other plays.

Rebuttal?

Re: Do EA Need to Remove The WildCat from Madden?

I like the wildcat i think it can be effective in the right offensive style. they need to open it up a bit, plus with the locomotion i think it can be defended better also. It gains yards irl and is hard to defend at times, so i just think they need to open it up alittle . its the nfl version of the speed option.

baloney. It is absolutely more effective than a traditional run play for no other reason than you have an additional blocker in the wildcat. The combination of an extra blocker, suction blocking, nonexistent defensive gap assignment, and shameful pursuit angles in Madden makes for a headache when the wildcat is used by a knowledgeable player. there is no "clear cut" approach to stop the wildcat.

And post-patch, some wildcat runs were rendered useless. The wildcat was not overly effective in M10. I've played with and against it countless times online.

so let me get this right. EA cripples the wildcat, in your opinion, to a point that it renders certain plays useless, and you applaud this as a proper implementation of the wildcat running scheme? I want wildcat in the game, but I want it to work fairly, on BOTH sides of the field. You seem to think the balancing act is in minimizing a play's effectiveness through programming. That my friend, is poor implementation and it needs to be addressed.

its more lipstick on a pig

Re: Do EA Need to Remove The WildCat from Madden?

Nothing wrong with the wildcat IMO. The defense is just broken. Play calling method, playbook, AI, animations, interaction, ect.

Stay focused people. Suggest fixing what's broken instead of removing & band-aiding.
