Submit Your Madden NFL 11 Questions (EA Hands-On Event 7/14) - Embargo August 2nd

Re: Madden Questions (EA Hands-On 7/14)

Call a corner blitz, do the corners rush completely to the qb or do they stop and run into the line to allow the qb to get a pass off? This happened like every other time you called the play in last years version.

Re: Madden Questions (EA Hands-On 7/14)

Will Madden '11 implement the tuner sets that NHL has and NCAA is now rumored to have? It allows for tweaking of the gameplay mechanics without a need for patches, as I understand it.

Could you try to get some footage of catches near the sidelines/corners of endzones?
I would love to see some hit stick animations too.

Re: Madden Questions (EA Hands-On 7/14)

I'm not asking general questions. Tell me exactly what you saw wrong with them last year, and what you want to see them around this year.

No offense to anyone, but vague questions get vague answers. If you guys want some real info, tell me what you want me to get for you specifically. If it was an issue in Madden 10, tell me what the exact issue was and what you think it should be.

They (EA) know exactly what was wrong with the rushing stats and sack stats last year. I'm positive if you asked if they've been improved to reflect more accurately to real life they will know what you mean and how to answer it.

Also to the guy who asked how often progression happens, we know that already, it's the same as M10.

Re: Submit Your Madden NFL 11 Questions (EA Hands-On Event 7/14)

i have a couple questions i like to have awnsered sorry if there long as i am trying to explain the problems from madden 10 and if they have been fixed

#1 has the weather and live weather feed been fixed for franchise mode and play now

as in madden nfl 10 in play now you never got 0 dagree weather in snow or non snow games it was always 30 or above

for franchise mode there were a bunch of games that were either sunny and 75 dagree temps in cold weather months we hardly saw snow or rainy games or cold weather games with no rain or snow


and as for the live weather feed it never worked as it should if i chose to play a game at night and it was night time in kc in madden the live weather feed would have it as day time and sometimes the weather and temp would be wrong and sometimes the weather dfeed never worked at all at time i would have to scroll tru all stadium in play now once just to get it to work

has all 3 been fixed to where 1 they work as they should

and 2 where we get more relistic weather in the right cities during the right time of months like in november and december we should get 0 25 dagree or lower and sometimes minus dagree instead of sunny 75 dagree weather?

#2 have the afc and nfc team spefic helmets been added to the pro bowl this year instead of the ganeric AFC And NFC Helmet that they dont use in real life?

thanks

You don't know what devs are going to be there, and neither do I.

If you give me something specific to look for, I can sim the game. I don't want to ask, I want to prove.

Re: Madden Questions (EA Hands-On 7/14)

1. Have they been able to improve the rendering in the game?
2. In offline franchise, did they fix the Trade Penalty Bug that always showed $0 penalty when making a trade even if millions might have been penalized?
3. In offline franchise, did they provide a way to track trade penalties in offline franchise?
4. Did they fix the problem with a lead blocker turning around to block a person behind the carrier, thus ignoring the player in front of the ball carrier, effectively allowing the ball carrier to be tackled?
5. Have they made any changes to the passing game (speed, ball arc, route based passing, etc)?
6. Is the pass blocking in Madden going to be any different than the pass blocking we see in NCAA 2011? What enhancements are there, if any?
7. Do DB's still react as soon as the QB's arm begins the backwards motion?
8. Are there any additional sliders? What are they?
9. Did they better tune the sliders? For example, the INT slider, even when at 0 still allowed multiple interceptions on both the comp/AI side of the game.
10. Will we be able to disable the Franchise CAP after an offline franchise has been started? (wasn't able to do this in M10, would have been nice to have it last year as a work-around for the $0 Penalty Trade Bug)
11. Will there be a separate set of sliders so we can adjust the sim engine in offline franchise?

Not organized well, but these are the ones that quickly come to mind and have not been answered.

[Bash]

Is there any online franchise improvements?

Is the blocking AI fixed/improved?

[illiniball64]

Is the locomotion engine in NCAA football 11 also used in Madden 11?

Ah sorry, I get ya now. I thought you would just ask them questions and maybe play a couple games.

Well if you could sim a season and take pics of the top 10 sack leaders, rushing leaders, WR and QB that would be cool.

Is this possible?

If not. In Madden 10 there would be far too many RB close or over 2000 rushing yards. So just check if you can if this is similar this year. Apparently it is meant to be fixed so less RB closer to 2000 yards. Also check out a backup RB, in M10 they would have a very low yards per carry average (like 2.0 ypa), check if this has been bumped up.

Also with sacks in M10 there would be half a dozen guys getting well over 20 sacks. See if this has been lowered over a simmed season?

Thanks, hope that was more specific.

Re: Submit Your Madden NFL 11 Questions (EA Hands-On Event 7/14)

Another question: Anything when playing better in Madden than in NCAA? Locomotion, pro-tak, lighting, anything?

[kbigmike2121]

Has there been any changes to Create-a-Team? For example, number out line colors, more uniform options, logos, etc. ?

[GoEagles614]

Is there any way you can give us a run through of like the top 10 FREE agents at each position?

Also I'd like to see some of the new toe drags and big WR catch animations/.

Can you check the Franchise for anything new at ll?

If possible I's love to see the Eagles offense, no video shows the Eagle O, only D.... thats all. Thanks

[BradyToMoss]

1. Has a salary cap and contracts been added to Online Franchise?

2. Have any improvements been made to the offline Franchise mode? Is there still an Extra Point show?

3. Are there new Madden Moments?

Thanks

[BradyToMoss]

*Could you also try to show some video of you flipping through the rosters. We get to see the players pics that way.

Thanks
