Ok now I have play the ps3 version. earlier i commented on the 360 version . same out come. good game but not great. and that game pad control is pissing my off seriously. I wasn't planning on getting the game but I was hoping the demo would waver back madden. but game pad have made me absolute hate this game. like the presentation, hate models, like game flow, HATE GAME PAD, like locomotion On NCCA it feels none existence on here . it took me about 40 mins to play a game. I don't know about quicker with all the animation. and I hate that kicking meter. I had to mash the button down to make accurate kick. to me played batter on the 360 but this still not worth buying. EA NOTE GET RID OF GAME GAMEPAD!!! If you don't this be worse madden since cone vision . people buy ncca if want play football

I wouldn't ever call NG Madden outstanding with the way tackling is handled....but it is a very solid game that I was looking forward to playing this year......but this Strategy Pad business is sucking all the fun out of it for me

I keep going back hoping the thing will finally click with me, but it just doesn't with the types of changes I like to make on the defensive side of the ball.

This game is already slanted toward the offense as it is....Its really upsetting me that they handicapped what little power/style on the defensive side we had

Maybe this would gel with me better if they had adequate playbooks for defensive schemes........

As we move further into "Next Gen" a teams Defense should be getting more personality,soul,style................instead its become more lifeless

It looks like my tackles are wearing grease because DEs are just sliding off them. I changed the CPU pass rushing to 15 and the 1st play of the game I got sacked and fumbled. Looked at the replay and the NT was on the outside shoulder of Mangold and a LB was showing blitz on the outside shoulder of Moore (RG). Common football sense would have Mangold take the NT and Moore take the LB. Instead Mangold took nobody, Moore took the NT and the LB took the ball.

Gamepad is quicker and more intuitive than the buttons. I like it. Good job ea! Took no time at all to learn this "game killer" change. If ea does anything I hope they just give those that like the old way the option of using the old way but don't get rid of the pad!!

good
passing
wr making the right adjustment catching passes
run blicking better



bad
pass blocking sucks this year
on punt returns it takes 5 yards before he can move
saftys still play back wayy to deep
to many broken tackles

i think maybe after a patch game will be good enough tho
