Madden NFL 11 Title Update #5 Details

[Senator Palmer]

For those that have the patch, has anything changed when you are on offense playing against the CPU? Is there an influx of ridiculousness, with the CPU line instantly destroying your o-line and blowing up running plays in the backfield?

I thought the CPU's defense was fine... too fine, in fact, when it came to defending the run. It was my user defense that seemed a step slow and needed the tuning.

In NCAA, the run blocking feels more real. Guys get hat on hat, and if a DT beats my man, it was with realistic momentum, a rip or a swim that took time. In Madden there's the instant, split-second whiff by my linemen that I can't strategize to stop with snap count or anything.

Well again like I said earlier. I'm looking forward to the update when it comes out. But I hope this update on the D and stuff doesn't benefits the AI more then anything. The AI already is to perfect on D. It needs to benefit the human user just much. I'm looking forward to the update as soon as it gets put out for downloading. But I really hope the AI ain't even more powerful then it already is on D. I'm hoping they balanced the oline and Dline interaction while fixing the D.

I don't think so. Play action didn't work well from day one on NCAA

Yeah the only way to get Play action to work in NCAA 11 is to lower the entire defense Play recognition attribute down to 60.

still broken?

Is there such a thing in Madden? Or will that break defense...I got tired of the wide open passing out of the box, and easy run game...so I ups'd my copy to a poster on here for free. But having to hot route to get PA to work bugs me in both titles.

I'd much rather play a Madden franchise than an NCAA dynasty, but NCAA is the better game ...at least to me.

Anyways, as far as the new patch, great news, pleasent surprise. But now I gotta tweak my custom sliders which were perfect. Thats kind of a bummer...

I think he means that EVERY pregame intro is about qb's. There were supposed to be different players featured, but it's not working.

Yeah both Madden and NCAA share the same attributes. Only difference is Madden has more additional attributes then NCAA which is the SAC, MAC, DAC, Throw on the RUN. But everything is the same betweeen the two titles.
