Madden NFL 11 Features Leak Out

[TheRunAndShoot]

Im not gonna bash this because I'll give the Madden team the benefit of the doubt unlike NCAA. Some things like improved O-line logic and better WR/DB interaction aren't really back of the box features.

BUT if this is what EA thinks we wanted in the game they've got another thing coming.

Absolutely, I'm right there with you. In M10 the ONLY way I played was via the Beginner play calling. I had no control over the plays called as that was the ONLY way to make the game competitive. I hated giving up that control as that's at least 25% of the game and a good 50% of the strategy.

Gameflow looks like it's taken a weakness of the game and attempted to make it into a strength. After having no control in M10, I expected them to fix the play calling AI so I could have a competitive game against the computer, not to pigeon hole me into what I HATED having to do in M10 and then try to convince me it's good for me. It's more realistic. I'm sorry, but no sale. Give me a better AI, that's what I wanted. Give me an editable playbook, that's what I wanted. Give me the ability to save games, that's what I wanted.

My sentiments exactly! I don't even know why I believed that "Deeper" could mean a deeper franchise. Offline as well as online need major upgrades! Offline just gets boring so quickly because of the lack of depth and immersion. They did a great job on Head Coach 09 in that department. Why not give us that in Madden? Online Franchise is a pain in the *** to organize because so many barebones features are missing ie. salary cap, online stat tracking etc.

Why keep putting out half finished modes instead of mastering an existing mode that the community has claimed multiple times over years to be one of THE most important parts of the game?!!!

This is really good news I like the idea of having the plays called because im sure that if you want you can still play the same way as years before but wow this adds a whole new level of presentation ( which i know EA never gets completely right ) but holy wow im excited.

Exactly.

If you want to get better at the game, figure out what you're doing wrong. what's the point of knowing the game of football if an 8 year old can pick it up and be told how to beat you, then do those things, and get lucky one time and beat you.

Not pleased at all with the features. I will never turn any of them on, just like I never used backtrack.

I think, as always this info was leaked by the EA Marketing Dept., and therfore should be looked upon as not directed towards HC gamers like we have here @ OS.

That being said, I've thought personally that a Gameplanning feature would be awesome to have, making more realistic by allowing us to script the first 15-25 plays, which I read is what the whole 350 to 1 is about to a degree. I hope that's the case where its plays that you want to run.

Lastly, maybe we're overlooking something as well. Maybe, just maybe there is a subtle hint here about Custom Playbooks....
