Madden NFL 12 Super Bowl Halftime Blog: Tuner Sets and Surprise Onside Kicks

"Understandable, but the play is only a real as the user calling it. Irl you may see three or four surprise onside kicks in a season. But I guarantee you, there will be guys online using it every single kickoff. Then there will be another group who use it at least once a game. Thats contradictory to this "reality" that we both want."

That's why I said they should take this out of the gamers hands by making it tie into the ST Coach's ratings. Depending on his Game AWR or Aggressiveness, this play should run through the ST Coach. With it out of Gamer's control, it adds value/reason to hiring a ST Coach.

At some point, Coaches will have to matter in this game (maybe by 2014) because as it stands, they play absolutely no role in the game at all.

I asked if there were a way to turn on auto kicking [like coach mode is really just auto passing] as a feature, and possibly a feature for online play.

Thanks.

Well, it's definitely going to be interesting to see how this is used online.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not against this feature and am all for getting things that we see in real life.

Things that we see in real life. Exactly. The addition of surprise onside kicks was an absolute necessity.

Is that a jab at he Wildcat from a Phins fan? If so, I approve. I hate the Wildcat, but I want it to work right in the game.

Me, too. I currently don't use the Wildcat for three reasons.

1. It doesn't work right. The restrictions are...um...restrictive.
2. Custom playbooks don't exist. Since I don't use Miami's playbook, I don't have access to its collection of Wildcat plays.
3. It's come to symbolize the sluggish Miami Dolphins offense. I don't want to talk about it. lol

Back to topic. I'm thrilled surprise onside kicks are in. It shows a commitment to simulation.

I was sick of looking at the current one, since they've had it for 2 years. The new one's smaller, which is excellent, because the current one was huge.
