Slider guys - Your work is cut out for you!!

[ChicagoChris]

I have never seen a game need slider adjustments out of the box so fast as this one (m11). Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!

Good luck and thanks!!

I couldn't agree more. The difficulty in this game is a mess. All-Pro is incredibly easy. I played a game between the Niners and Texans with default settings (12 min qtrs/ 20 second acc clock) and I ended up winning 79-20. Disaster.

All-Madden is worse. CPU breaks every tackle. There is no pass protection...etc.

Sliders needed desperately.

Every year it's all hype....i mean the gameplay is great...but man..come on.....i wish we could just take it out of the box and adjust a few minor things and play...but no every single year we have to wait for a month after the game is released for a good set of sliders, and a patch...it is getting ridiculous.

You somewhat have to give them a break. A normal game that is good could take anywhere from 3-5 years to make. Alot of that time is testing out the game. Looking for flaws. Adjusting the AI ect... The development team for Madden gets maybe a year to actually make a game better than it was the year before. Fix the engine. Adjust the AI and all that. This is why they give you the option to tweak it yourself. Atleast they give you this option instead of just leaving it alone.

I don't know. Right now the more I play, the more I think I see the potential. Then there is a part of me that wants to put the NCAA disc in again.

I don't want this to be a moan fest about EA, just want to get the slider ball rolling.

[ddaugherty]

that's exactly what we all want....is there anyone that is looking at this thread that has any slider experience?

i wouldn't mind helping with sliders...but i really don't have any experience doing so

I do think this is a good year for Madden. I feel that most of the issues (difficulty/KO returns/kicking) - is all fixable. The game plays great, and I'm having a good deal of fun.

I think it's important to understand what the Madden guys are trying to do here. They wanted to rebuild the gameplay aspects (which they have done for the last few years) and presentation models. Now that they have those in place, they'll tweak it where necessary - then hopefully over the next few years we get a rebuilt dynasty, online and superstar modes. Maybe even some new modes - like Head Coach built in.

I'd say right now Madden '12 has the chance to be one of the greatest football games ever if they do what they NEED to do. Until they strip everything for the next generation again lol.

i feel the exact same way. NCAA just plays the way I want it to.
