Posting this in here now because apparently it's Superstar related when it's not. It's design related to modes outside of superstar also.

Firstly, mods - please don't delete this thread, It's not intended to bash Madden but rather hopefully receive feedback by the people who made this design choice. I've looked at the superstar mode pics and there is something putting me off.. Let's look at the pics I'm referring to; First picture: Why is it that the "stat row" is above the player card and not below? It makes looking at the stats feel like you are looking at a bunch of numbers and is harder to line them up with their respective stat, does anyone agree? Second picture: I don't like how the player bar moves in between players names now, I believe it should be like before a solid fixation at the top, it makes it less intuitive to look at all the players and their stats; Lastly I want to finish with, this may actually be better when you are controlling the menus with a controller in your hand. But just looking at these pics to me it seems like a strange design choice and Id love to hear the reason they went in this direction if possible? Did anyone else notice this, does it seem strange to anyone? I'm not the typical user on OS here breaking down gameplay elements, I'm a presentation guy, so I notice stuff like this and it intrigues me to hear why they change design and the reason they think it's better. Thanks.

I'm opening your thread back up. At first glance I thought it was specifically about the superstar menu's but I see what you mean now. My apologies.

This guy is a rookie who is slower than Jones, weaker than Barber and only 57 overall; yet he's at the top of the depth chart?

That is the one thing that most annoyed me with EA's superstar. If you always start even if your rating is worse than the actual starter I don't get any sense of accomplishment.

The only gripes I have are the aforementioned "immediate starter" that has been an unfortunate staple of Superstar Mode since it was introduced..that and silhouettes. I've been spoiled by My Player in NBA2K, I want a render of my player's face.

Cool, finally made this mode relevant.

the menus remind me of backbreakers menu, anyone else get that? either way its good to see them trying to revive this mode again.

Looks the same as Madden 11s menus, with the exception of the stat line over the top of the player this year for some reason.



I like the superstar is getting attention. From what I can tell from the article, the mode still looks like it isn't going to stack up against NBA2ks My player. For example, I don't like the instant starter at all and I expect that to be in the actual game as that's the way it's been for years now.
