Madden NFL 17: Play the Moments Is Better Than You Expect

Re: Madden NFL 17: Play the Moments Is Better Than You Expect

One thing I wanted to add about this feature is I wish it didn't cut out the commentary in the pre-game introduction. I understand it cuts it out after you complete each Play the Moment objective during the game. But I like to hear all the opening remarks that they give before the kickoff.

I used "Play the Moments" and "Just Play Offense" during my EA Acess time so I could get more done during my 10 hours. Play the Moments is just like watching the Redzone channel, it is quite effective if you only have a few minutes to spare.

I tried it and I get the appeal but it needs to drop you in on offense more often.

So wait, do you get injuries in slow or you do not? I felt I read both ways. Can anyone clarify please.

I think you get injuries in all speeds.
Just that if you use Fast or Normal - it uses the Sim Engine so includes O-Line Injuries. With Slow using the Game Engine it only has Skill Player Injuries.

This mode is a game-changer for me. I've always struggled with balancing simulating games so that I can progress in my franchise and playing all the games so that I could feel more immersed in each season. Now I can do something like play the division games and PTM for non-division games or something like that and still make good progress while still getting the experience of playing each game. Really wonderful addition.

As someone already noted, is it basically the same as Supersim? For the past couple of years, since I have less time to play, I've played offense-only and supersimmed defense.

I've had pretty decent results with that. Just wondering if this brings anything more to the table than Supersim. Thanks!

Re: Madden NFL 17: Play the Moments Is Better Than You Expect

I feel this mode will be great for me. This will allow me to get realistic results and have ratings play a factor, get a challenge from the CPU without having to give them huge slider boosts in every area just to compete

I have never done multiple teams before, but I think this year I am going to do just that. I will do one playing Offense only and slow speed watching the defense ( I usually just call the suggested defense plays and let the cpu do the work, so for me, this is great! Yes, I stink at defense. LOL!) then I am going to do another where I just do play the moments for a team's game. I'm actually pretty excited about getting started this year.

Que? You are talking about the sim speed in Play of The Moment feature, right? why would the sim speed impact injuries?

I did that last year some too, but sometimes I would accidently supersim my offense too. So, that is one thing this does help prevent.

Also, it has a much nicer feel to it to me than last year. Much easier to watch the events fold out and keep up.

In theory it's the same. But every super sim engine prior to this year has been dreadful. I'm impressed if you received realistics stats simming in prior versions. The fact is now it works - works really well - and creates scenarios where YOU don't have to manually initiate offense/defense only. It does it for you. Also as mentioned - the moments option works really well.

Yes, because there are 3 speed options of Play the Moment - Fast - Jump ahead as quickly as possible - and Normal - See details of every play - use the New Super Sim Engine that enables it to use dice rolls to determine injuries so means that Offensive Lineman can get injured.

Slow - Watch each play using the Broadcast Camera - is basically a spectator mode, with the CPU playing the game against itself until the moments pop up. One of the limitations with the Game Engine is that it determines injuries based on animations and tackles, therefore Offensive Lineman are unlikely to get injuries unless there is a fumble/interception and they get involved in the play from there.

Hence why in the article the writer mentions about Offensive Lineman getting injured at Fast and Normal speed. The user I responded to asked a question about whether injuries happened on Slow as it wasn't clear from the section of the article and I expanded on it.

I didn't realize that with slow. Thank you for explaining.

Much better than I expected. Just the right amount of "moments" and excellent simulation stats when you're not playing. Allows for great Broadcast coverage.
