Madden NFL 12 Blog - Detailed Look at Dynamic Player Performance (Shopmaster)

[mirrored32]

i like the idea of DDP. implementation is key here. by commentary we probably will also 'hear' of how the players are doing. I hope the commentator will mention the 'players performance' not just per game but 'per the season so far'. as for knowing when the indicators are, it would be nice to 'tap' a button or something like an audible to see how the DDP of the team is doing. meaning if you offense is on the field you tap or something and show the DDP of each player on field. or perhaps something like the 'stamina' color meanings in the playbook.

Just play the game from start to finish and there you go.

(Tapping the mic) "Is this thing on?" LOL

I stated that "I completely agree with having a hot/cold indicator " but it is displaying the affects streaks have on numeric ratings I have an issue with.

No, I haven't seen it clearly stated and I hope it's not the case. However, seems like every time anyone releases info about DPP there is always a mention of OVR swings. So given Madden's track record of TMI in regards to things like, player potential, OVR and accurate numeric ratings, which I think should exist "under the hood" but be hidden, these rating "swings" will most likely be displayed too.
