What Madden Could Learn from SOCOM

Madden's online modes could learn a lot from games like SOCOM. Imagine a Madden online mode where teamwork was a hugely important key to winning with your team online. David Johnson has, and shows us some important lessons Madden could learn from SOCOM.

That definitely would be a dream come through...I cant imagine how much fun it would be to be the shutdown corner the whole game trying to keep Randy Moss locked down the whole game. Or be the offensive lineman and come up with a key block.

Re: What Madden Could Learn from SOCOM

guys lets be honest here, this crap will never be put into the game. Hell they can't even fix the franchise or suction cup blocking that have plagued this game for the past 4 years

Play along with me and imagine the translation to Madden here. 4th and Goal, down by four, late in the 4th quarter, and there are 11 players meeting in the offensive playcalling screen for the allotted 40 seconds; there's also 11 players meeting in the defensive playcalling screen for the same period of time. Both sides are attempting to come up with a play that will win the game for their respective sides.


Football by committee? No thanks.

I know what the first poster is saying. Played some 11 vs 11 football today with some friends. Everyone wanted to be receiver. I played Runningblock so our Quaterback could throw the ball, also played corner on my friend who was the best athlete out there. I would love to be able to do that on a football game. Just play with your buddies and work a strategy.

the problem with this concept is that most folks would only want to play the key positions. I cant imagine there are many folks out there that would want to play an entire online game as an offensive lineman, etc.

and the 32-50 clanmates on line playing a game would not be enjoyable because that requires subs and I doubt most folks would want to be on the side lines.

I also think most folks don't know enough about Blocking schemes and Defensive schemes required in football to make an 11 on 11 online experience enjoyable.

It doesn't have to be 11 on 11. It could be 5 on 5 or something. Even that would be a blast. While offense would be cool, I think defense would be amazing. Setting up blitzes, coverages, etc.

I think our best hope for this is another company making it without licenses. They could make the entire focus of the game on the online aspect. It would be nice in Madden, but honestly they still haven't fixed the suction blocking 20 years into the franchise.
