Spring/Training Camp

[Indiansbro]

If you think should be a Spring/Training Camp, how do you think it should be implemented?

Re: Spring/Training Camp

Are you talking about practices, drills, determining depth and a Spring Game?
If so, than yea. It would add depth. Practice should matter more.

Yes exactly.

Re: Spring/Training Camp

Spring games, drills, early enrollees, etc. should be in. Coaches, with ratings, should be added. Good teaching coaches, with discipline and knowledge would also make players progress more through the spring. This would also give us a chance to get used to that new stud recruit, or to see weaknesses in your team and make a playbook around your strengths.

Re: Spring/Training Camp

Last gen did a okay job with Spring game points. So I would be cool with that. But before they work on Spring Game. Hopefully they fixed Mass Sub. I hate mass subbing and seeing dline in oline spots, especially when I have good depth.
I would Bring back all the drills from last gen. I would make practice matter way more.

Re: Spring/Training Camp

I think it would be cool to have as an option. Maybe do this

Option 1 : You sim spring game / drills - get maybe 50-75% points towards players

Option 2 : You do spring game / drills -

a. Drills - you pick a player per drill (maybe 2) and run the drill with them to give them an extra boost
b. Spring Game - you play the spring game and it gives you 75-100% of points towards players.


Then you get to choose your captains too. That would be nice

Agreed.
there should be a limit to drills assigned. Like having position specific drills, and having the ability to sim and have a minimal boost to all in that position(+1 Thr ACC) or doing the drill with 2 players in the drill and receiving big boost(+3 Thr Acc), but only those two getting the boost.

Re: Spring/Training Camp

I would love this addition. I think it should be tied in to player progression. Although the spring game is not the only part of spring practice it is the culmination. But I would only want it if it mattered. If it affected attributes. Otherwise it is pointless. And with it, early enrollees is a must. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Drills could be cool, but it has always had either the drill is really easy (HB running drill, OL Drill) or near really hard (Maybe just me but the DB drills from the past and in Madden are tough). Plus you are always limited on amount of players you could do it with,etc. I think they would really have to make a lot of changes to make it worthwhile. I would rather have coaching ratings with teaching as one that affect my players ratings each spring rather than drills.

I'd be happy with drills like the minicamp in the old madden.

So true. Even the LBer and DL drills were fairly hard. The WR drill was ridiculously easy.

Not sure if it is in Madden 11, but in Madden 10 and 09, they had the virtual practice thing where you could practice your run/pass defense and run offense/pass offense. I think that those drill would be much more suited than the mini camp drills. You could pick the players you wanted to do the drills with and against. If the opposing players in the drill have a higher rating, then you would get more points and if they are a lower rating, you would get minimal points. You can get say 10 points to each player involved in the drill and you would allocate the points to the stats you want to improve. Or more/less points depending on how well you do in the drills.

Re: Spring/Training Camp

This would be a great addition, especially a spring game. This could also double for recruiting, as having a packed spring game versus a minimally attended spring game can do wonders for recruiting prospects for the next year.

Re: Spring/Training Camp

I've honestly never likely the drill system in Madden. It's too static and repetitive. I'd really like more focus on developing you as a coach. Perhaps starting as a offensive guru, defensive genius, persuasive recruiter, or player development type coach. Similar to how classes are laid out in RPG's with various skills advancing based on achievements. The players in CFB have such short careers focusing so much on them seems pointless in a dynasty mode.
