Re: Madden NFL 11 "Swagger" Rating Explained (MyMaddenPad)

I like sawg over nothing like it at all, but I would have preffered custom camera's, custom soundtracks, and custom celebrations. I have to agree that while its probably a plus to have in the game, you have to wonder why they didnt just give us custom celebrations, which really cant be beat as a "celebration" type feature.

There needs to be a thread started about this because I really want to know why this would be difficult. Custom options just seems like a logical thing to do, IMO. A poster in another thread from May stated that "The Show" had custom crowd noise and this was my response;

OMG! LOL!
I wish you had never mentioned this.I have never played The Show and could of stayed blissful ignorant to this feature.Now that you have enlightened me,that concept sounds brilliant and simple.

I have alot of optimism about Madden 11 but the main thing I dont get about Madden/EA is the lack of custom features.Like the specific stadium songs,crowd chants and QB snap voices.Why not make that user customizable.With todays technolgy,it wouldn't be hard to add in your own .wav or mp3 file.

Think how cool it would be to download real NFL player and coach audio from actual game footage and user customize it for Madden.That could be used for on-field chatter,sideline banter and halftime/post game interviews.The possibilities are endless!

Wish I never read this post,now my mind will be racing with ideas! LOL

"The "Old Spice Swagger" rating determines the likelihood of a player to celebrate on the way to the endzone, or after a touchdown. For example, a running back like Adrian Peterson (99 rating) has a greater tendency to celebrate than Frank Gore (50 rating)."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH !!!

I guess it's ok, NBA 2K does have an emotion rating as well as personalites (neutral, expressive, emotive, laid back, unpredictable). This is a good step, just hope that it is for more than TD celebrations and leads to stuff like QBs and WRs arguing about not getting the ball enough, maybe even some excessive celebration penalties...maybe that'll be in for M12. But I can see how some would be upset with calling it 'Swagger' and being sponsored, but it is what it is. Money talks. :?

What about that 49ers Cornerback that started highsteppin on the other side of the field when he intercept the ball then he was chased down and fumbled. Will we see any of that?

His swagger rating must be off the charts

It has the potential to be a good feature. Also, I would like to see the swagger rating for coaches as well. A guy like McDaniels, who danced and jumped up and down after an early win as if he won the SB compared to a coach like Mike Tomlin who does a fist pump and barely cracking a smile after actually winning the SB. Just a thought.

Hmm, this seems to have the potential to be a nice little rating. Nothing that important, but nice.

How many years have people said that Marvin Harrison, Barry Sanders, and most quarterbacks don't celebrate in real-life, so why do they in the game? I think if they can have players who never celebrate in real life simply walk back to the sidelines after a big touchdown in Madden 11, it just adds more to the realism.

Again, not pivotal, but sometimes the small little changes are very noticeable when you play the game.

I actually LOVE the players who have a celebration after they make a big play! This is one of the reasons I LOVE Chad Ochocinco!

I loved Rocky Bernard when he would get a sack and would do a shoulder type of dance!

It is almost as good as the Swagger Wagon...

I can understand and appreciate that. I said that because you brought it up twice, but I understand the level of frustration with franchise mode.

The only thing I will say about franchise mode is this:

A) They told us up front they are taking a year to work on franchise
B) I'd rather have a redone from scratch franchise mode vs one they just tuned, tweaked or didn't touch at all.

C) They better deliver the goods.

I disagree here. They waited until a couple months before release to "be upfront about it" when they had 9 months prior to that where they could have told us.

I agree with C, though. After a year off, franchise better just be jaw droppingly amazing, or the poop will hit the fan with their franchisers.

I understand where you are coming from.

My point was that they didn't wait till everyone purchased the game and then said something and it wasn't like last year where there was misinformation here and there.

And as I stated in a later post, they don't come out with info till Feb.(SB time) Would it have made a difference for everyone if they came out with then vs 4 months later?

Maybe, maybe not.

Plus, AJ, one of the CD folks, mentioned that Phil said it would take more than a year to redevelop franchise mode. Does this mean it will be ready by Madden 12 or Madden 13?

It's beginning to make me wonder.
