Preplay Controls

[at23steelers]

For a Tiburon team that caters to accessibility, I have no idea why they keep making the preplay control scheme harder to do each and every year. You have to do 4 things just to shade 1 WR. So, if you want to shade 1 WR, that's pretty much all you can do by the time the center snaps the ball. I just don't understand their logic of not using the NCAA control scheme. It's easier and much better to do. Almost everyone I know tries to do everything to avoid using the d-pad in any game, so to have such a big thing evolve around it, is baffling. So, here is a poll, of which one you like best, and maybe we can persuade them to use NCAA's while integrating a few new things like shading a WR. Not to mention to audible now is even tougher to do than last year, because you have to use the d-pad to scroll through it.

More than NCAA 12? Is there a reason why? Is it quicker to you, more options?

I use Madden 12 with quick links turned off. The thing is last year you had to press the d-pad once just to bring up the strat-pad which was annoying and time-wasting.

This year you don't have to do it, you just press whatever you need to do. For instance if I want to spread the dline I do left and up on d-pad as soon as I pick my play. Is just as fast as the old way now, you just need to get used to a new layout

With that said, I voted for the last option, since obviously a lot of people want to still use the old controls. EA should use the same control scheme for both games

Whatever version doesn't require the dpad!!!

I'm used to it so it's pretty quick and intuitive.. I can easily make all the changes I need before the CPU snaps the ball... Don't really play NCAA, soooooo....

I bet it's tough to compare them then!! Try the NCAA 12 demo and see what you think of the preplay controls. It uses everything except the dpad which is a great thing!

They've removed the pointless extra step this year. The new system is more logical and just as quick as the old one (as far as I know), you just have to learn the new layout.
