So what is the deal with this slow speed?

[Redsoxfan9922]

Because some of the community sat and moaned about the game speed, EA went and changed the default speed online to slow. What about the other portions of the community that thinks the gameplay on slow is nearly unplayable? The passing is dumbed down to the point in which a two year old can maintain a completion percentage above 80%. Pressure can be absolutely awful at times. I'm not really a "nano-blitzer", but man, you rush six and it gets picked up even the slightest bit and you will get picked apart with ease.


The results of the poll on TML, also known as The Madden Lab:

I could make this same exact poll on many other Madden message boards, and the result will be the same. Apparently moaning and bugging Ian and the staff worked here to get the game speed changed to an awful standard, so it looks like I'm going to have to be out spoken to make this game playable again.

All I can do is sit in awe when I read posts saying slow is more like the NFL. The NFL is a fast paced game, this isn't a Conference 6 junior high football game.

The speed should be changed back to normal - and if the majority of the community wants it back to normal - then why not do it?

Like I said. THe only reason they changed it to slow was to please Pasta. It made no sense. No one was complaining and Normal was the perfect speed. No buy for me next year.

Wasn't the 360 online speed already on 'slow'?

EA........give the online complainers what they want, but please leave the options intact for us offline guys.

I think they changed it back didn't they? And did we really need yet another thread for this?

Why would they take away the option for offline players?

I think Ian said they were just testing it for the weekend and it was supposed to go back to normal, but it has not yet. I am not playing online till its normal. Its too brutal.
