Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Playbooks and CPU Playcalling Improvements

This was the type of blog i was waiting for. You could play each team the same in previous maddens, and i'm glad teams will adjust in future years based on personnel in franchise. Sweet.

FOOTBALL STRATEGY!!

Thanks. I didn't expect this...

Thanks for the Link

That was great info, and will really bring playing the franchise mode to another level of realism.

Very Nice !

p.s. The whole Wes Welker in the slot screams for designated defensive assignments. I can't remember if those are in or not.

I think the WR/DB interaction blog awhile back said this feature was in so it is there to help out.

I think it was Dat Swag that said a few formations and a couple new plays is far away from a custom playbook.

Is 35 new formations and 1000 new plays getting closer?

I'll answer for him. No. Not at all. Why would it be?

Another example of Madden focusing on gameplay while NCAA emphasizes gimmicks.

I wonder if these AI settings will be in slider form or something similar to the NBA2k series... where you can edit these things to make them (in your eyes) more realistic?? Or if say for some CRAZY reason, the Vikings decide to pass a lot on 1st down... would we be able to edit this in the game??? Just curious....

This does sound GREAT though! I have been wanting "signature" play calling for a while... So it should be nice to have to gameplan against a team's best plays and players.... This takes the whole stretch of the ratings to a whole new level... Now not only are the star players significantly better than the rest, but they will be given the ball often as well.... so that's cool..

I think that the info in the blog was pretty good, especially for those playing offline franchises. This is ANOTHER GOOD step in the right direction.

Great blog, and if it works as they say, it will dramatically improve overall gameplay and team variation. Game is sounding better and better!

Now with that said, I still want to see custom playbooks so I can create "MY" playbook for "MY" team. I'm ok with using the plays they created, just allow me to alter what formations and plays I have in my playbook.

Well, of course it wouldn't be what he is looking for. I was just referencing that he mentioned all Madden does is slap a few formations and a few new plays every year.

I should have focused on that aspect instead.

Hopefully next year we get custom playbooks.

Well that was cool blog, hopefully it works. The next step would be to update the playing percentage as the real season goes along and ability to expand the playbooks as team reveal new formation and play calls.

Lets just hope it works like they say it will.

Re: New Madden 10 Blog

All sounds good. Hopefully there are no hiccups in this newer setup. I would hate for the AI to become too predictable in it's approach. Still, it's definitely good news and another thing to look forward too. Once again, my wavering opinion on the game aside, I continue to be pleased with the attention this team has seemed to put into this iteration.

Man Ive been wanting for this for a while. Wish we could set tendencies too though

If this comes out bug-free...it should be a considerable upgrade for Offline Play
