    I know for a fact those controllers aren't allowed in tournaments. Maybe those PS3/360 in-game online tourneys/challenges, but not in official EA Madden Tourneys.

      Wow... I have to say that I am incredibly impressed with this response!

      It looks like you guys at EA are setting the bar for customer service these days.

      Thank you, Ian.

          As the same for guys without widescreen TVs. We shouldn't suffer for that either but thats a different story.
          True, but I'd be interested to see how many people think turbo controllers are a reall problem.

              I had to make some executive decisions today on the feature as we close in towards the end here...so I thought I'd keep you guys in the loop on the changes/additions we are going to try to make. I want to be clear - none of this is done yet - but this is the 'design' so I'll update again with what we end up getting (I am hoping we get all of it).

              1. Add a on/off option to the settings screens for the button masher. If it's off, the fumble is recovered through some CPU logic of which players get there first
              2. Make the meter more minimalistic - take it off the field and integrate it into the ticker at the bottom of the screen
              3. Add support for the meter to disappear at a specified time based on skill level. Meaning, that on All-Pro or All-Madden, the button callout will still stay on screen to show you how to fight for the fumble, but the "meter" will disappear to give more suspense. On lower skill levels, the meter can stay up the whole time.
              4. Give bonuses to make sure that the first person on the ball starts out 'winning' the meter
              5. Tune all the animations to make sure that the pileup only triggers in the obvious situation where multiple people dove on it at once. If you fall on it and it looks like you have possession, then you should retain possession with no fumble pileup.
              6. Change the camera(s) to be much tighter and more 'broadcast'.

              I think this definitely meets the needs of all parties - it can be turned off for those that don't want it, the cameras can be much cooler without the need for framing the on-field button UI, and it shouldn't feel cheap anymore.

              Sound good? Again I'll update later on as we get this stuff added in.
              great job IMO. One post and you basically took care of all the concerns about the feature.
              If you can read this, you don't need glasses.

                Great work, Ian! Hopefully all those changes make it in.

                  Here's an idea.....make them illegal for tournaments. Problem solved.

                  If this is a concern for you when this situation might occur once a game and then assuming that the person you play would actually have a turbo controller, then you will never be happy with anything.
