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

Does the CPU have psychic defensive play calls based on the play you call?

Example is you have the ball and it is 3rd and 20. You call a 4 WR draw play (example), and the CPU defense comes out in a 4-3 because they know you are running. I have heard people comment that this only happens of All-Madden or Heisman difficulty, but have seen others say it happens on the lower difficulties as well.

Could you please check this or ask them if it is in the game and what triggers it?

Thank you!

Is 2-minute logic improved by the CPU? Too often they go into nothing buy hurry-up mode only because it hits the 2-minute mark. Not all points of the game call for this; sometimes the CPU should "milk" that time, but they don't. Is the logic improved this year?

Two more....

1. Is their live Weather like in NCAA?

2. I doubt it but can you add custom in game music?

Probably too late, but...
And please take all of the following constructively...I just want M11 to be great!

1) Can we expect any "injuries" when in "spectate" mode cpu vs. cpu in an offline franchise?

2) Any chance that when adjusting the game parameters (example, playing within a franchise with, just to be arbitrary, 5-minute quarters and a 25-second clock roll-off) the cpu vs. cpu teams will play with those same parameters, thereby making all game stats relate to your human franchise?

3) When strictly "simming" within a franchise, my running back simply refused to play for an entire season (at least until I stopped that franchise and started another ALWAYS playing games in "spectate" mode instead). Has the "simming" engine been fixed?

Anything else has likely been covered elsewhere...
Thanks!
Can't wait to see your follow-up!

Did they fix the Wildcat to where you can scramble out of a pass play?

Will we be able to "shade" the corners inside/outside pre-snap?

I understand superstar mode did not get any major improvements this year but what may this mode see in the future for madden 12 and beyond?

Any new penalties? Are players fatigued, especially at Mile High Stadium? Do the players uniforms get dirty in the rain and snow? Also in the rain and snow, are players affected, especially the QB throwing the ball?

I second the earlier question about whether there's still a Halftime Show.

[Clutch masta]

will there be weather transition like there was in the maddens for ps2?

example: in the first half of the game it was snowing hard and in the second half the snow stopped.

also do you have weather sliders like before?

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

Last year whenever the cpu would blitz the corners they would send both at the same time. This never happens IRL.

I've already seen this in NCAA 11 on numerous occasions.

Has this been toned done for Madden 11? If not, can something be done in regards to the cpu play calling on defense to prevent this from happening?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I'm looking forward to see how this all shapes up. Great stuff once again by OS!

I second the earlier question about whether there's still a Halftime Show.
