Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

I think it is ultimately clear where the focus of Madden is and will continue to be.

Unfortunately it's on a mode I never play.

Completely agree. Can't believe they have ignored the franchise/offline player. Thought for sure at least dirty uniforms/field degradation would be addressed. WOW.

Jesus christ I cant believe this. I hope that the gameplanning fix just wasnt mentioned because if they leave that the way it is that is really poor confidence in there product or a lack of respect for the consumer, not sure which one it is. Im not going to get to bummed because I didnt have enormous hopes for this game this year, but they could atleast made sure they had a functional product...

Sliders cannot fix this gameplay. It may allow for you to score and move the ball easier, but it does not make it play like an actual NFL game.

Maybe people are not being lazy, maybe the devs are just not delivering the goods....think about it before you start slinging slider adjustments as a probable solution.

Your telling me sliders can't fix his complaints about coverage on All Madden level?

Have you tried adjusting any sliders to figure that out or you just assuming sliders can't fix pass coverage

Like i said some of these complaints are non-issues and just people who want to complain about anything now days.

Play some damn defense or adjust the sliders and you'll have better coverage...that is not a gameplay problem it's his problem

Or better yet how about just not playing on All Madden level as a start

Playmaker I actually use your slider set, but havent played since the last patch. So I actually value your opinion. Are you saying that sliders, mainly yours curtail lbs on wr's and some of the bad playcalling? I thought the game played well but I thought it played much better with gameplanning for both teams. I just dont see how sliders can fix such a deep rooted issue

No mention of the Cowboys 50th Anniversary patch?

[jjazwick]

This makes me want 2012 to come even faster. To bad Ian and gang do such a crappy job and still are employed. I guess the safest jobs are weather persons and EA Tiburon. I will not purchase another Madden football game until EA gets rid of Tiburon and hires a more innovative developer. To bad EA fired Visual Concepts back in '96. We could only imagine what we would be playing today. Firing up NFL 2K5 as I type!!!!!

That's now what i'm saying....

The guy posted that on All Madden level he can't play pass defense....and the CPU jumps the snap to good

Now i think we can all agree All-Madden level is designed to have the CPU win at all cost...it's not designed to play FAIR

So my opinion is tinker with the sliders because the sliders can fix pass coverage issues and also toned down the CPU's ability to jump the snap

That is what my debate is about.....it's not about CPU game planning or play calling those things are handled by coaching sliders not game play sliders.

So i'm pretty sure had he spent about 5-10 minutes tweaking his pass coverage he could actually get better results for pass defense and no patch is needed at all for that problem

again the subpar effort is your opinion

There are lots of us who enjoy Madden 11 and would disagree with you....

I'm not talking about EA's efforts on Madden 07 or 09....I'm talking about Madden 11 because that's the only thing that matters to me right now. It's a good game and unfortunatley i'm going to have to disagree with you when it comes to Madden 11

[Tico Da Great]

Does Anyone know about Field Degrate and the jersey's getting dirty. haven't seen it since madden 09.
?

Playmaker not knocking u for your liking madden, but do u play the SHOW, FIFA or 2k basketball. These games have set the standard and madden has not reached there level yet. Madden may be fun for u, because u have your slider thing going, but for many its not. The issues that we the community have been telling these guys have been ignored and since its the only NFL game in town..we have no options, unless dont buy at all. I'm not bashing, u do your thing, but madden is poking us the gamers in the face and its time to poke them back.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Title Update #4 Details

I think the majority of the issues are people are upset by the patch not fixing anything that has to do with the actual main game. Which I understand completely. What I don't get is why Madden has moved further and further away from Madden. They've added ultimate team, boosters, Facebook Madden, etc but have left the majority of the game untouched. They say these small additions don't take away from development time but they are. I know its about money and making lots of it, but as I learned from an office episode once "it takes alot less to keep customers than to add new ones"

adfletch71...

I have never played sony's mlb game but i can say this...

nba 2k has not put out "perfect" games. 2k8 is fun, but the pick and roll is an easy basket and I've yet to find a slider set to stop that, or even contain it. nba 2k9 was awful, and nba 2k10, though improved, had a lot of holes that never really did get patched.

i enjoy nba 2k11, but it has a few flaws as well (intercepted passes at a high rate and i've yet to see anything but shooting fouls and a couple over the backs). so let's not pretend that 2k is perfect...

i know that playmaker has worked VERY hard on his slider set, of which i use (with a few slight variations to fit my skill level). i played 3 games last night using 3 different matchups and had some VERY fun games (one of which i held the opposition to 5 fg's total) and all of them were varied. madden is not a perfect game, but NO game is perfect.

what's funny is that we go through this EVERY stinkin' year - guys will go out and buy it before waiting because madden pulls all of us into the midnight release - impulse purchase. then we b!tch and moan, but we can only blame ourselves. if people wait around 72 hours after release date to read the impressions thread here they would make a MUCH better decision on whether to buy the game or not.

playmaker is right, though. there are some things that can be fixed with sliders...and I can honestly say that i have NEVER played a sports game yet that didn't require slider adjustments (even the almighty nba 2k11). madden is not a great game, but it's not a bad one either.
