Madden NFL 10 FAQ - Part 1

[kingzfan2000]

At this point I might have to just put this game on the shelf until both patches have been released because in its current state I simply get way too aggravated dealing with all the issues that have resulted from the bad programming.

For example last night Im playing online against my friend and I am trying to run out of a single back big formation and he is in quarters cover 3 and his defensive linemen are tackling my rb. I mean a three man line against a seven man line and I still cant run because of the horrible oline blocking. This game is just so bad, it might literally be the worst madden ever.

I push the y button to intercept balls and the defender does absolutely nothing. Last night when playing my friend online I called a cover 2 and then watched as my cb that was supposed to be covering the flats decided to not cover the flats and allow the TE to catch an out pattern and waltz into the endzone untouched. I was just sitting there like wtf. I called a cover 2 zone and the cornerback assigned to the flats was damn near in the middle of the field and I was literally asking myself why do I even bother playing this garbage.

I used to love playing madden online (ps2) because I genuinely felt that I controlled whether I won or loss. I lost usually because my opponent was better than me and outplayed me. Now I just feel like Im fighting the horrible programming as much as my opponent when I play online.

im sorry to be so negative but i simply cant believe how bad this game is. Five years into the current gen and this game is probably on the level of madden 2002 gameplay wise.

Lol, well it's not exactly a game killer, but it certainly is ironic isn't it?

I'm honestly surprised, that the glaring D playcalling wasn't mentioned. AdemB, Dfs and others have shown that by controlling all 32 teams (in Franchise mode), and radically altering Def Playcalling Schemes, it IS possible to make each team play something like their relevant RL counterparts.

But why on earth should anyone have to, or even WANT to do that? Is it really so much to ask, that Tenn play their "never a blitz, crush with the front four" D style? Or a Cover 2 D to actually play AS a Cover 2 team.

At the moment, in the great majority of games vs the cpu, it's like facing the '85 Bears (never mind the Fridge, we're bringing the kitchen AND the sink on most downs)...

If you fine with `your no name`TE having 200 catches on the season, then it's not a problem of course

The other point (as mentioned by many) is that Solo and Assists= Total Tackles. If it's some really bitty reason (e.g. column or array space in the game), then just remove assists. Assists aren't shown on the NFL site, there's no need when Total TKLS and Solo TKLS are shown......

Lastly. without wishing to start any arguements, why do I get the impression that everything Online is a major priority over the rest, when the vast majority of the customer base, is still offline gaming. Isn't that a bit like Ford releasing a new car, and then saying "Right we're going to Iron a few problems out, but only for the Red Models."?

^^^CPU AI was something that was being addressed. I'm guessing that cpu playcalling on defense, offense, and during the 2 minute drill are all lumped into that category.

We can certainly see how much these devs think of Chicago, their sports teams, and their fans....lol

Josh from EA, who is working on this, explained the problem. On some screens (season stat screens) the columns are labeled incorrectly. The "Total Tackles" column is showing solo tackles, and the other column shows assists.

There are actually too many solo tackles. He is tweaking it down.

He said that changing the screen would take too much time to make the patch, so the column will remain mislabeled.

yeah basically all of our assumptions were wrong, which really is a good thing in the end since they are being counted correctly. i guess we will just have to add "total" + assists in our heads. at least the numbers are too high rather than too low?
