Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

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

My question is why dont you man up and answer them now? Like how you release a game where M.Turner carries the football 390 times for 2107 yards and score 3 TD?????? In One season???


I know red flag me but it had to be said.

It didn't need to be said.....

the way you said it.

PLEASE!!!!

1)Explain why in the world you all decided to use a server based Online Franchise system (lacking almost 99% of the elements that make a franchise) rather than the version used by NCAA which appears to function quite nicely that could have included all the elements of a true online franchise?!?!?!?!?!?!?

2) Will you please admit the fact you all have no intention of adding in salary cap and trade logic this year though a "server side update"?

3) Will you please admit that you and your team knew this way ahead of release and chose to hide it from the public?

4) Will you please tell me I am wrong and you are going to get this thing done before the next Madden?

I hate to try to answer a question in a Q&A thread, but I think it is because they can update it easier because it is server-based. Also, the reason why it is lacking a lot of important features is probably because of time constraints (not trying to make excuses). I hope that all of the answers to questions 2-4 are 'no' because it is apparent that you've given up hope and want it to be confirmed that those things are not a possibility.

Here are my questions on what I hope will be fixed in the patch updates. These are in no particular order:

1. Will random freezing in the main menu and during the game be fixed?
2. Will items such as first down markers load faster on the sidelines?
3. Will lame duck passes be fixed so that the ball will float more towards the direction in which the pass is intended?
4. Will OL/DL interaction be improved, such as pass protection?
5. Will adaptive AI affect passes to the flats?
6. Will stadium chants be included to the game?
7. When will the salary cap and other things which were listed as 'possible updates' be added to online franchise?
8. Will sideline catches be improved such as players trying to keep their feet in bounds?
9. Will running backs get open quicker on screen passes?
10. Will issues with pursuit angles be fixed?
11. Will we know what all of the patches will be about when the Q&A blog is released?

To me the biggest issue facing franchise mode is the stat engine, or lack there of. I don't think it has ever been this bad. Especially with the extremly low YPC HB's get. 450 yards on 200 carries? Really? I would have prefered you guys not even adding ast. tackles this year if you couldn't even get it right. It is commen knowledge that *** tack. + solo tack = total tackles. It's not just Madden NHL's stat engine is out of whack too. Fix it with this patch, if you adress the stat engine and nothing else I would be happy. But that's just me.

same here, but be carefull, Total Tackles are not being track on Madden.

Their are SOLO Tackles In game stat and Off game stat.

The tackling is just wrong, it`s not a "stats bug".

Are you working on a fix for the fact that you can't get sacks without diving, yet CPU players don't dive for sacks?

Will adds be removed from the game? Isn't it enough that you charge us $60 for the game and more for the DLC if we want it and then we have to look at McDonalds Dollar menu popups on our screen while we play? Honestly enough is enough.

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

why cant more than ten or so CAP be created? My free agent list doesnt say its full, not every team in league has a full roster. When i finish creating a player, he vanishes...

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

you can only create 10 players? that sucks.

is it possible to update player faces in the next roster update? too many players have generic faces, and i know nobody cares about the bills, but trent edwards looks like a walking zombie, the cutscenes are becoming more than annoying...

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

i would also love to see the draft info come back! How are we supposed to know if the guy is a bust or a gem if we dont know what round he was drafted in?

can we have the draft info back?

There ya go

Ah, thanks brother

[JkA3]

What is the difficulty in creating in-game saves? And, why hasn't it been brought to next gen? Any plans on ever bringing it back?

I'd appreciate some insight. Thanks.

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

So, I have sort of a meta-question:

If you're just now posting a thread asking for questions which you can research and answer, what exactly is the first patch that is ready to be released actually addressing?

I would fervently hope that at least some of these things are already being addressed with the first patch. Can you detail a little more the types of issues that are actually going to be addressed with current and future title patches as opposed to issues that are merely going to be researched for future editions of the title? Thanks.

What future plans do you have for the online franchise?

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

Could the idea in this thread: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...m-ratings.html possibly be implemented? Using a consistency rating or something like it deciding how often a player actually reaches his current rating? would make more consistent players valuable again.. whether they have GREAT potential or not...

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

Is there any way to fill in all those grey faces in the rosters? At least possibly giving them the HC09 faces?

namely: Joe Mays LB #51 Eagles, Tim Hightower HB #34? Cardinals

I never understood this either. I mean they have the exclusive license with the NFLPA, you'd think a player that isn't even a rookie anymore would have at least some kind of picture. I understand that digital rights are a thorny issue but there always seems to be these ghost players whose pictures never make it in.
