Re: Madden NFL 10 Impressions (Pasta Padre)

I haven't been able to get on pastapadre's site for the last few days, I figure it's because of so many people going there during E3 but I don't know what to do.

have you tried using firefox rather than ie?

Well with the AI doing this. Is this a good thing are a bad thing lol. To me it sounds like a good thing. Because now you can be challenge by the AI without you blowing out the AI every game.

yep..even losing a game or two..and maybe not making the playoffs

Re: PastaPadre Madden 10 Impressions

Love my boy Pasta, but he's definitely on the take....

"I was relieved that Pro Tak didn't take over the experience..."

As in, you never see it lol... I think I saw it 3 or 4 times in all of those videos that are up. I have heard people say that it shouldn't be frequent, but get real... the majority of plays up the middle should result in a multi player tackle at the end of the run.

To make matters worse, one of the more prominent moments where I saw it in action was very strange; It happened right after a reception, the wr turned up field and got in a "fight for every yard" situation with no momentum after the turn and near the sideline caught between a safety and a chasing db haha...

I really have to stop or i'll be labeled a *****

All said, I am buying this game!

Nice thing is, it's something they built in a way to tune it very easily, so I expect we'll see improvements. It was happening WAY too much at CD, so it's sort of a matter of finding the happy medium between then and now.

I really hope they are doing some tuning Adem; although it seems really risky to do anything major being so close to final. I wonder if they can do further "tuning" through patches after release. I would think so.

Very good writeup from Pasta. I'm excited

Re: Madden NFL 10 Impressions (Pasta Padre)

running the ball is my favorite aspect of the game. so if the run game is indeed broken this year as it was last year, this is a no buy for me.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Impressions (Pasta Padre)

I still say you just stink at running Pasta. I didn't have nearly as much trouble running the ball as you did. You = garbage.

True story: I saw Pasta accept money directly from several EA developers during E3....This story and more coming up on the 11 o'clock OS Report.

lol...but of course you, as a fine upstanding OS reporter, would never accept such "gifts." This stinks of misdirection.

Why No Offline Franchise from the Pastapadre?

I haven't seen anyone from E3 really say anything new about.

He addressed that earlier in this thread, I believe. He said it's hard to dive into in the E3 environment and all that.

EDIT: of course, given Chase's "breaking news", it could all be a massive cover-up from a known EA stooge...lol

Yea thats what he said. When you got tons of people around wanting to try it out. It's hard for them to really have the time to go through the other modes on the game. Ian will do blogs on offline franchise in the next few weeks. Just chill out and give him time.

Wow, u guys just don't want me to goto bed, eh? It's 12:20a over here and I got ish to do in the morn, darnnit!! Lol. Who knows, I could be up in the next hour and 39 minutes, the way I just don't goto sleep, anyway. Sheesh.

Now, as for pasta's hands on report - Nice! Anyway u put it, the game is still not at final code. Those sound like tweaks that can be easily done based on what Ian said on one of his earlier EA blogs about the tech being able to be easily tuned. I think that was also evident in another hands on report where it was said that certain things were happening on day one that were near to non-existent by day two possibly due to tweaking of the builds overnight.
Either way, I ain't too worried...except for that one thing about the PS3 version not being on par with the 360 version that I read a couple days ago on IGN. Hope they can get that together quickly, as well.
