Will People Adjust to the Pocket in Next-Gen Madden?

[hanzsomehanz]

Its not a perfect pocket that I want to see hedged in every pass play.

The problem existing now is that linemen are programmed to step into their blocks on pass plays instead of dropping back and receiving the rush.

The linemen should be responding authentically (not proactively synced) to the defensive angles of pursuit as they retreat to create a hedge for the QB. Where we should see the average lineman (naturally) struggle is against the stunts and blitz.

Linemen with poor footwork should be plagued on the edges against quicker defenders. Linemen with poor footwork technique should also loose battles due to poor footing.

Imo, it is footwork that needs to be emphasised more in the trenches and pursuit paths by defenders. Poor footwork will negate any linemens ability to hold their ground no matter how strong they are.

If folks can still use a qb or kicker or punter in the trenches then we will know the system is still founded on the wrong functions.

Too much neuturing. They ought to give these men back their brass balls if we are to ever see a "war" in the trenches. Cut the patty-cake peace treaty that was established years back.

They should take out fumbles. What if youre in a 100K tournament and your RB fumbles?!

This would improve everything with me, I hate being blitzed on every play whilst all of my recievers being stalked on every play. I actually think this might help me play!

The list of random outcomes is undoubtedly long - I dont side w them regarding why botched snaps dont exist.

In this game alone I have lost control attempting thorws and tackles and catches and picks only to have the AI not respond or respond opposite to the command I am giving or especially so on tackling where its even worst: The computer literally takes position of my defender and I have absolutely no control over steering him - this is the bullcotti that needs to be cut out.

We will never see seemless animations for as long as we have warped assistance controls like hit stick, ball hawk and heet seaker. Nor will we have seemless user control for as long as these training wheels exist - never.

Training wheels is right. I use to LOVE user picking. It was one of my favorite aspects. I use have people quit online after throwing too many interceptions because I'd be running around the middle of the field with a Safety. You had to get yourself into position and you had to time your jump but it made it rewarding imo because you can just as easily give up a huge play. Which I did many of times. They took away the human error. They shouldn't even call it a user pick anymore because it isn't. The CPU is doing everything for you.

Interesting comments...This is why Ive played Madden on Very Fast Game speed & Speed Threshold at 0
Since Madden 11. Forces you to Snap/Read/Throw.
And pressures coming at the snap of the football.
The new innovations are gonna make the game even better to me on my settings.

LOL, I really don't think this will in any way be close to realistic..just because EA says so.... My guess is the same old tried and truue issues will be there.
