Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

[mikeestacio5825]

ian,

can you guys please fix an issue were if you edit a player (ex. change position or number) the commentattors dont say there first an last name anymore they just say there last name like genericly

for instance if i edit lets say aaron rodgers idk i give him wristband or something then collinsworth will never say aaron rodgers again he will just say rodgers and he wont say his little story about him taking over for a lengend an blah blah and how hes smart an gutsy

so if i edit any player at all they no longer talk about them and it takes away from the authenticity of the players so now i cant even change anyones position in franchise cuz ill lose that please fix thanks

Why are the wrong QB cutscenes triggering after a score? - We were told that you guys knew of this issue and that it wouldn't be in the final build.

Let me make this perfectly clear so I don't need to spend my afternoon giving out infractions.

- Ask your question and be respectful

- Don't comment on how this thread is being used, monitored or speculate if it's been abandoned.

Some of you our treading a fine line of trolling so if you don't want a break from the forums stop.

1) What exactly does the "Aggressive' slide protection audible do? What are its strengths and weaknesses. This is not addressed in the Prima strategy guide, or the instruction book.

Isn't football an aggressive game? Why wouldnt I want my players to always be aggressive?


2) Does pressing the strip ball button when you have the opponent wrapped up in a pro-tak tackle do anything?

Hi Ian is the 3-4 defense gonna be addressed with dominat nt's being double teamed to free up the linebackers?

[Dbrentonbuck]

Two questions I have that I do not believe have been addressed here are

1. What is wrong with the pass rush that causes it to be easier to get sacks with the strong side DE than with the weak side DE which should be getting all the sacks? Something is broken in the logic there. To test this, play with the Falcons who have a 94 rated weak side pass rushing DE who destroys OTs in real life for a whole game against a bad O-line and see how many sacks you get and then play with the scrub who should be selling beer in the stands 70 rated no talent strong side DE against the same O-line and see how many more sacks you can get even though you have to beat the TE or HB in addition to the RT on most plays. Something is messed up either in the pass protection logic or the pass rush logic. It should be easier to get sacks with the weak side DE.

2. Is there a way to fix imported draft classes from NCAA 10 to make their ratings translate some what logically? If a guy is 97 in speed in NCAA and is imported into Madden, his speed should never take a 10 point drop. If a guy has a 98 twp in NCAA and is imported to Madden he shouldn't have a 10-15 point drop in throw power. I thought I read before this game came out that this issue was being fixed.
