Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

1) What exactly do the Sliders do? I have been playing around with them a lot but some of their uses are questionable like the WR catching. Also I thought pass blocking was actually how good they would block but instead it seems to be about how good they pick up blitzers

2) I remember you guys mentioned that teams will no pass or run at the same percentage that they do in real life. Well in franchise more this settings seem to be throwing off the numbers. Too few WRs are getting 100 recs, QBs are passing for too many yards, too many TDs and RB are not getting enough yards or TDs. Also I notice that DEs are not getting enough sacks, LBs are under our frnachises are not getting enough tackles and too many assist tackles. My biggest gripe is that 3-4 OLB are getting abysmal amount of sacks (6 a season ) and 3-4 DEs are getting most of them which is not right.

3) Why did your title go from lead designer to Madden Creative Director?

4) Why is RB so difficult for the Oline to perform? The CPU has a terrible time running the ball unless you tweet the sliders.But over all I see some abysmal "missed" blocks by the Oline, things that would never happen in pop warner football.

5) Why is robo QB still in the game? I feel like sometimes the QB knows that I am about to sack him even when I come from around the back.

6) Why can't we switch teams on franchise mode?

7) Why are the flats so open?


Other than that I am enjoying the game.

Per his original post, I believe that he's going to address most (well some) of these questions in a Blog. So how about laying off a bit.

I'll be honest I didnt read his post, and the Thread title reads Q&A with the Dev Team so just thought maybe he would answer question. sorry if I upest you..

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Why did you guys make an online franchise that isn't franchise mode at all but rather a glorified season mode?

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Yeah...because they made a half assed game that did not include many things they promised. I call that false advertising and it's against the law. But, nothing will happen and we'll all keep on suckling at the EA power teet.

Give me an infraction for stating my opinion mods. This site is becoming less and less free and more and more fascist by the day. It's pathetic.

Oh I'm telling

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Online Franchise:

1. Can we get NCAA draft classes put in?
2. Is there a way we could get a practice mode in online franchise?
3. Can you export your team to play a buddy online?
4. The draft classes if not NCAA can we have the scouting in those classes without the total attributes being released?

I love the game and IMHO it's great but those online franchsie issues are hurting me/us. Great game and I am looking fwd to blog. Thank you.

I agree 100%. You can debate and bash any other game or game maker, but you say anything about EA, Ian, or the dev team then they wanna give you an infraction. This is suppose to be a site to discuss your likes or dislikes about ANY game or ANY maker of the game, or ANYONE who developes the game. But apparently you can't. And its also funny that those people that defends EA or Ian don't get infractions. They can insult, curse, whatever. But I guess a blind eye is turned to them.

You really need to look up the legal definition of "False advertising" and what it entails before you go spouting off at the mouth and looking like a fool...

Re: Q&A blog with the dev team

Is it possible to get the offline franchise stuff such as kick off logos thanksgiving logos and monday/sunday night football underneath the ticker into online franchise? Cause right now it just feels like a league with the nfl schedule rather than an actual season.

Why cant you return picks on 2-pt conversions? The minute you pick it off the play is over.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

This has probably already been asked, but is the CPU blitzing tendencies going to be fixed?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

But seriously, I'd like to know EA's plans on building for Madden 11, based on the issues mentioned.
