Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

Totally agree..I think that there are alot of QBs that would not fit into the WCO scheme because of the high degree of accuracy and timing that are required. Guys that have run it well are Hall a Famer type guys. Just look at Tavaris Jackson, he tries to run the WCO but it doesn't really work all that well. When he has success its when he is able to get longer looks and throw down field. His short game is not really that great and his ability to make real quick decisions is not where it needs to be.

Last season Jackson threw for 4 TDs against Arizona, he got offensive player of the week that week. His was at 59%, and that was his best game ever!

Just a bit of info, Warner last year who was basically tied with Pennington for highest completion % on the year was at 67%. He had 7 games where he was over 70% and 9 including the post season in which he threw 72% in the SB. That was a great game BTW.

You could argue that it happens alot. 9 times in one year, thats a good amount of games over 70%. Well here is the kicker, this is Kurt Warner we are talking about. This guy has been talked about as a possible Hall a Famer and lets remember, he was also talked about last year for league MVP. This guy is not the norm and he is not your average QB.

Good call on T. Jackson not having the skill-set to run a WCO. Micheal Vick had the same problem. He didn't have the necessary accuracy to consistently put up great numbers in that offense.

I'm not saying that every QB should get these numbers...even for 1 game...but Hasselbeck isn't exactly chopped liver...he's much closer to Warner than T-Jack. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

In 2005, Hasselbeck threw for 70+% in 7 games (including playoffs)...he even threw for 80+% twice...

Right on..I'm not saying Hasselbeck isn't a good QB, he is a good QB and he defenitely is one of the top rated QBs in the league right now that run the WCO. I don't follow the Seahawks that much but I am guessing when he put up those kinds of numbers he was a pro-bowler?

It was the year the Seahawks went to the Superbowl...I believe he was ProBowl that year...

LOL..oh yeah I think you are right. That was a great year for him. It was really looking like he was going to make that jump to being an elite QB. Of course he has had his problems since then but that was a special year for him. I guess to hammer my point even more, QBs that put up those kinds of numbers are usually playing well into the playoffs and having incredible seasons. That is not the norm though, and its tough to duplicate a season like that in the NFL.

Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

like i said the same things said last year.

thanks for the reminder.

And so that no one is caught off guard, I'm sure there will be plenty of things said this year that were said last year and at both ends of the spectrum.

Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

I think what you are missing is that in Madden 09 every QB completed passes at a 70% or better clip every game.

While it is only a one/two game sample, people are VERY concerned that this problem will still be in the game.

Having an unstoppable QB makes the game unplayable, just like 09 was.

you are correct, sir. Also applies to NCAA 2009.

Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

Except there is a few big differences than last year that I didn't mention.

A. The QB ratings have been lowered.
B. Short, Medium, and Long passing accuracy have been added as well.

You can't tell me that is the same as last year.

+1

Not even close to 09.

Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

And I think what you are missing is what has already been reported in blogs vs the 09 game.

Madden 10 has accuracy short, medium and long pass accuracy ratings. Also, only a few QBs will be rated in the 90's vs 09.

I really don't feel it's a cause for concern at this stage.

Nope I know they have seperate ratings for short, medium, and long. The overall rating is meaningless as a QB rated in the low/mid 80s last year could still complete over 70% last year.

The problem could technically be magnified by the new ratings. QBs in general are going to be more accurate on short passes, so if the same technical issue is present in 10 combined with increased short passer ratings, the percents might even be higher.

The problem was the CPU never threw deep and never missed a WR. Since the coverage by DBs was sooooooo terrible, this led to really high percentages for QBs across the board.

While I think adding the new ratings is good, I know EA better than to think that adding new ratings solves the actual problem.

Do I think one game is cause for concern and to say the sky is falling? Nope, but it is at least something to keep an eye on.

Donny, this is very promising to have you dropping by to say that. I'm so pumped to play this stupid game that I can't hardly touch my xbox right now. I try playing other games and feel so unsatisfied. I NEED MY MADDEN FIX! I feel like a crackhead right now, spending all my free time scrolling the OS forums for news, screens and videos...

The wait for E3 is killing me.

Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

I say keep info like this coming. It would be nice to see a handful of games agaisnt the CPU's stats and see how everything compares.


A few games really isn't enough to say too much.

But I did enjoy reading it especially as a Bears fan

Re: My Madden NFL 10 Game Experiences From Current Build

Donny Thxs for sharing.

Couple of questions for you.

Did you do this same thing last season with 09, and how was it different from 09 to 10 funfactor wise?

I would also like to know how did pro-tak work out in the game? Some of the concerns with pro-tak was if every tackle was going to involve a pile up. How did it play out?

Thanks in advance for answering.
