    is wind backwards?

    seems like every kick whatever the wind direction shows -- its opposite

    Re: is wind backwards?

    I noticed this too. If I'm kicking and have an 18mph wind at my back, my kickoffs barely get inside the 10. But when it says that same wind is in the other direction and I'm kicking into it, my kickoffs go through the end zone for a touchback. Same with field goals - wind at my back, long kicks are short, kicking into the wind I can make long kicks no problem. Seems backwards to me.

        Pastapadre indicated that it is indeed backwards.

              How hard would it be to fix this???? Its been in the game for the last few years...what a travesty this game has become. They just dont care...its obvious.

                I knew this was bugged last year.. I just assumed they fixed it (silly me).

                At least if they don't fix it (which they likely won't) you can just acclimate to it being backwards and adjust play accordingly.

                lol, EA.

                  I bring this up all the time. It's easy enough to work around but I just can't get over it; it's such a perfect example of everything that is wrong with Madden and the exclusive license. This would be embarrassing to any company that had even an ounce of shame.

                    yea -- they should be embarrassed but they seem to care less

                      i read somewhere here if you want the wind in the 4th qtr pickr defend l or r where the arrow points
                      if it points up defend left (top) iirc

                        To make matters worse they give you like two seconds to try and decipher it all...

                        Let's see, the arrow is pointing diagonally up, but the camera angle they're using for the coin toss is different, plus they f-ed it up a few years ago by making it all backwards and haven't fixed it yet even though it's a simple mother f-ing bit of code... Oh, well, crap... The game decided it for me.

                        That's actually longer than two seconds, but my mind goes faster than time.

                            I wonder whose idea it was to put a clock in there. I guess maybe it was for playing online, to hurry up the process, but why make it such a short amount of time?!

                            This stuff matters too, especially in the NFL where there are so many close games. It makes a difference to have the wind at your back in the 4th quarter.

                            If real NFL refs were to simulate what goes on here in this instance in Madden, they would take the guy making the call and spin him around like 30 times until he was so dizzy he didn't know which way was up, they say okay which side do want to defend? You got two seconds! Go!

                            WTF!!!

                            Stuff like this matters. Little details matter.

                            I just checked the bugs thread and people have posted it there. Thing is, it was probably posted there last year too. It would take them probably less than an hour to get in there and fix the arrow, then maybe extend the time to 5 seconds, or 8.

                            WTF Tiburon, show some damn pride in your work. Clean this crap up.
