Madden NFL 12 - Dynamic Player Performance to Play a Role During Games (IGN)

[LorenzoDC]

I think the newest piece here from what we were told before was that player hot streaks within a game affect the play of their teammates, and not just their own performances.

That's way cool.

And to take some heat as a Giants fan, the eight minute collapse against the Eagles in week 15 last year, and the next week's performance against SB winning Green Bay, all had a psychological snowball effect element to them.

That's a prime case for what DPP is trying to bring into the game, and I think that rocks.

Packers and Eagles fans, you're welcome! (Well, not to the wins, but to my painful admission).

It's more of a reference to what's being told in the news that is coming out. This is the 2nd time IGN has brought up Vick when talking about DPP, and the first time it talked about how he can take a big swing in ratings, while this time it brought up how he will quickly tuck it and run. We won't truly know until someone get their hands on the game, but it sounds like Vick will be kinda erratic.

Even when there was a perception towards the back-end of the season that he had started to come back to earth, he was still remarkably good. I can't say he had a single bad game last year: 284 yards 2 TD vs. Detroit 291 yards 3 TD 1 rushing TD vs. Jacksonville 218 yards 1 TD 1 rushing TD plus 74 yards rushing vs. Indianapolis 333 yards 4 TD 2 rushing TD plus 80 yards rushing vs. Washington 258 yards 1 rushing TD vs. New York Giants 333 yards 2 TD 1 INT vs. Chicago 302 yards 2 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT vs. Houston 270 yards 2 TD 1 rushing TD 2 INT vs. Dallas 242 yards 3 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT plus 130 yards rushing vs. New York Giants 263 yards 1 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT vs. Minnesota 292 yards 1 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT vs. Green Bay in playoffs Did Vick even have a single bad game? No. He was good to stellar every time he took the field. What? 258 yards a rushing TD against the Giants was bad? That was his least productive day all last season! In Madden terms, Vick never dipped below, I'd say, an 85 all year.

Eh, good with Int's at the back end of the season? Nah, I'll take Rodgers 9 td's 2 int's in the playoffs and SB vs Vicks 1 and 1 at the end of the day. That's what is good to stellar.

Back on topic, I think I will love this feature a lot.

this is gonna be an interesting yr for madden esp with this now and not just effecting the one player but whole team esp if your team like mine the browns have wr's that can't catch so say that effects team and what if the rb fumbles a few times should be very interesting how much it really effects the game... esp online i can see it already with ppl complaining that there one sided now because there afraid pass and have wr not catch ball or rb has bad day or defense.

I'm just pointing out how can new Vick be erratic and have 20-point swings if the man didn't even have a single bad game all last season? That makes no sense.

Even if Aaron Rodgers was better... who cares? This is not a comparison of QB's. It's trying to understand the basis for this claim that new Vick is erratic. How can he be when he didn't even have a bad game to dip down to?

Bad games are subjective opinions.

Question for you.

Who was better, Vick in the first half of the season or Vick in the second half of the season?

I thought Vick in the last few games, including the playoff game, struggled or didn't put up the numbers he did in the first half of the season. Just my opinion.

And yes, you do compare him to other QB's to find out if the other QB's who are above him are erratic at times.

No, it's not subjective when you're talking MADDEN RATINGS!

I keep reading a 20-point swing with Vick. Vick is what? A 91? I can't say he had any games where he was as bad as a 71. Can you?

A 20 pt swing is a worse case scenario. It's a video game, time to relax a bit.

You didn't answer my question.

Let's say Vick throws 3 int's in the game. Doesn't that warrant some kind of down ward swing?
