    Madden 2011 Questions (E3 Related)

    I will be at E3 next week with a couple other OS cohorts, so if you have some questions about Madden, then post them here. Presumably, I will have a chance to talk with some developers while there etc. so keep that in mind as well.

    I can't promise every question will get answered, but we shall try to get you guys the info you thirst for.

    I wouldn't mind a sticky either.
    I won't ask for Christmas or birthday gifts if you subscribe to the Operation Sports Newsletter (Not Just Another Roster Update). I write it, and it hits your inbox every Friday morning (for freeeeeee). We also have an official OS Discord you can now join.

        Can you ask them what exactly they did with the crowd audio this year? Is it louder, does it react to the appropriate situations on the field, etc etc.

        I know they said audio was a big focus and they talked about Gus Johnson, and team-specific chants. I would like to know if they made improvements to the crowd as a whole though. For example, I think MLB the Show and NBA Live has done a great job with the crowd audio. Hopefully it will atleast be as good as that.

        Thanks!

            1. Discuss changes in offline franchise. Has the RB stat's been corrected?
            2. Has there been any changes how the 3-4 defense been addressed? IE- LB's getting more sacks than LDE?
            3. Has their been an effort on passing situations that the DE's are moving more in a arc vs straight ahead entanglement with RT?
            4. Has the flats from last year been tuned?
            5. Is there better CB/WR interraction? ie, no more CB running WR routes.
            6. Has the penalty sliders been tuned better? ie, cranking up PI and not having PI called.
            7. Did WR shade make it back in?
            8. Was the animation fixed where a WR catches the ball with 3 or 4 feet inbounds and it cuts to a ref conference and after further review, the catch is overtuned?

            Thanks Chase.

            Ok, enough from me.

              Will we be able to change team's like a hire/fire during offline franchise this year? I really hate not being able to take a new team during my franchise and rebuilding them up once Ive created a dynasty with my initial team?

              Creating players during franchise or to supplement the draft?

                Not really a question, but can you give some details on what you're seeing from a presentation standpoint?

                -Frequency of auto replays
                -Pre-play sequence (are you seeing other players approach the line besides the QB in every scene)
                -Frequency of stat banners
                -Cutscenes (are they triggering properly and any less buggy than they were the year before)
                -Is the blackout in between cutscenes any more distracting than it was last year

                Gameflow
                -How is GF managing the game in the 4th quarter or when up/down a lot of points

                Thanks Chase

                  How well is Gus Johnson is used in madden. Are the play by play announcing more like a Radio broadcast. basically , is his enthusiasm noticed in the game

                  How well are the sideline catches done?
                  How well is locomotion done?

                    Do you notice the difference between good rated O-lines and bad ones. Also do very good defensive players (Jared Allen, Darrele Revis) really seem dominant?
                    I will always, always be a Jets fan. But trust me it hurts.

                        Oh and one biggie:

                        Are the pass rushing OLBs/DEs rushing upfield and not directly into the tackles to form a more realistic pocket?

                          1. My question is what changes have they done to offline franchise this year to make it better??
                          2. Have they done anything to make the human D pass rush anymore aggressive to get to the AI QB this year. "Last year pass rush really sucked unless you controlled the guy yourself" Sliders really didn't do much.

                          3. Also ask if they have done any tuning on the run D to counter the new blocking scheme to stop the run. The blocking scheme seems to be a might overpowered some what. I just want to know from them that the blocking scheme on the run game ain't going make the D look crappy in trying to stop the run game.

                            Did they give any attention to importing draft classes into Madden? Is it improved?

                            Thanks Chase.
