the Wiz sends his apologies...But the whole business of the lab testing of women threw me for a loop! Much too complicated (and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much drama!), and have decided to go back to what the Wiz does best, create the most authentic game experience that Madden has lurking inside of its DNA...
the Wiz is wrapping up putting M15 through its paces. Happy to say that M15 is more predictable than many OS'ers are giving it credit for.
In fact, the Wiz is confident that there is an angle on the "mix" to "fix":
1) the sack issue
2) to create better smoothness (slashing, change of directions, jukes, etc) by the player with the ball to avoid being tackled
3) solve robo QB while not sacrificing sacks
4) better OL/DL line interaction (Wiz prefers that the OL/DL interaction look like two bulls VIOLENTLY ramming into each other, one of them has to win!)
5) better "fighting" between WR's and DB's for space and leaping for balls
6) more natural feel and look to DB coverage of WR's on outs, drags, slants, curl and seam routes
7) finding balance for tackle breaking and fighting for extra yard animations
............among other goodies!
There have been sacrifices that the Wiz has had to make, and unfortunately, the Wiz does not see true game "realism", as far as the full breadth of stats that are typically seen in an NFL game (ie. # of passes dropped, # of penalties called, types of penalties called, keeping true 40 times, etc.) in M15's future. Sigh....
With beta testing done on the true nature/role/impact of the PEN SLIDERS, GAME SLIDERS and GAME FEATURES (slow speed, normal speed, fast speed, ball hawk, defensive cone, heat seeker, speed thresh, etc.) upon the game, the Wiz is now entering phase 2 of his work to apply the knowledge gleaned and "tune" a wicked brew that can more often than not, deliver statistical similarities within the game play, and strive for stats that could be typically seen on any given Monday, Thursday or Sunday.
Wish me luck!
