Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

****ING EH....no fix for these LAME QB intros before every single game? Oh man, I can see my franchise won't be played much longer. EA...come'on man! I thought they said they was listening to us? I've never once and never will play online, or play madden moments or ultimate team. Give the true fans what they want, and it is a simple easy thing to fix these intros before the game. It makes the game so stale feeling. After the game starts, it feels great, but those intros KILL me.

Please.....please fix gameplanning....

Wasn't gameplanning working before the first patch?? I might just have to delete all the patches and see if that works. What a waste of time with all of those patches.

Does it cost money to play ultimate team??

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

The game is not worth 65 dollars anymore. 30$ is a good price. I refuse to pay 65$ for this game, ill just trade some games in and pay about 30$. They don't deserve the full amount like the SHOW and 2K11.

Yes, setting up gameplanning for the CPU was working before the last patch and now it does not work.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

This...is...absolutely...GREAT NEWS!!! Thank God they are not messing with gameplay. I finally have a slider set that works wonders on this game and really don't feel like tweaking anymore.

I already knew they were not messing with franchise mode. I am expecting big things for 12 on this however.

but for now, game is pretty good.

and for uni junkies, uniforms do get dirty, just not as much as you probably would like. I think it is a little on the timid side myself, but do see dirty uniforms.

That's not the problem with dirty unis, the problem is that it doesnt work all the time. I'm not sure where EA's head is at on which modes we want added or fixed and with that said who gives a crap about ultimate team tournaments, FAIL! Madden 11 = trade in value for COD Black Ops.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

thats because madden ultimate still makes them money. i should post this feedback i got from their support. I've been pissed since launch because i can't play madden ultimate. it locks up every time. so i contacted support and they told me it was scratched disc or a ps3 problem. I blew a gasket..and laid into them quite a bit. then of course it gets escalated and they want to work with me to resolve the issue.

You have got to be kidding me, right? "Great news?" This must be your first dance with Madden.

I think it was stated most articulately in another convo, but it is blatantly obvious for some time that the money EA spent on the exclusive license is sapping from the development resources. Instead, they sprinkle a few bucks on cheap gimmicks and call them new features or fixes. I have and continue to believe that "Gameflow" was the biggest hustle of the last six years, because it is nothing more than "Ask Madden" only customizable and automatic.

Back to NBA 2K11....

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

This was a HUGE disapointment!

No QB intro fix! This just kills madden for me. It realy destroys all form of illusion and replayability this game has.

Also, NO gameplay fixes?????

Please GOD, bring back NFL 2K so we get developers who cares about simulating the NFL.

Been playing Madden since you were in diapers!!!

It is great news for me, gameplay wise, because my sliders are perfect for my style of play. Great defensive battles. Any sort of tweaks would absolutely ruin the current set of sliders I have.

Now, when looking @ a distance, some will say "big deal, just tweak your sliders again".

I say NO. If you are going to tweak sliders correctly, it takes a lot of time to get what you want. I have put hours upon hours tweaking them, and refuse to do it again. Also, I have a full time job and a family, so time just isn't on my side any more. Hence, for me personally, yes this is great news. I am finally having a blast with this game and would like to continue that for a few more months.

I do agree on some aspects though...gameplannig is whack. I have yet to use it, and judging from the OS feed back, that is great. Game intros SHOULD have been patched, but I still have an A button.


And as for the dirty unis, I play as the Rams, in the dome, so dirty unis don't become a huge issue for me. I did see them in the Superbowl in New York, in the snow though.

It does work....if you want a gameplan for the CPU only it does work. But you have to do the workaround.

At controller select and settings (pre game) move the controller to the cpu team then select the gameplans you want for them on OFF and DEF. Do not move the controller back to your team. Just press X and go into the game. After the coin toss but before the kickoff move the controller back to your team. You don;t get to play as your team for the opening kickoff.

If you call all your own plays and use your teams default playbook you don't need a gameplan for your team.

That is the only way to keep the CPU playing a great game with your custom gameplans.

It works. I did the one play test so It works.

Does it suck that the #1 highly touted feature of the game is broken? Yes. And how they did not address it is beyond words. But at least it works for the real reason I use it for which is getting ther CPU to call a realisitc game on OFF and DEF.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

this is unfortunate i was really hoping the defense and game play issues would be addressed.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

This update is a complete JOKE! This is what they waste their time on? Give me a break. I would rather they not have released this 4th update and just spend their time working on Madden 12. If you can actually call this a title update.

At the risk of incurring mod wrath I must agree. A patch addressing every frill mode but nothing basic. If you're an offline franchise guy, nothing but the unis really.

Honestly, why ignore the stated issue of the intros where Ian claimed the single QB one was a bug, there were many more? Don't they want their hard work on that to be seen? What about the non-functional uni and field degradation?

I'm an offline franchise guy using the Chargers so the new unis might get one more season max outa me. But the issues I mentioned above I consider immersion issues, they would have fueled my interest for longer.

VERY disappointing.

Yes, I know the workaround. Still should have been fixed.

EA haters are out in full force today!! Save yourself the aggravation and stop buying Madden! Do not even come to the Madden forum! It's always the same people on these boards complaining, and saying they will never buy Madden again! Well, that is until Madden 12 comes out!
