We Need More From Madden Online

In what is quickly becoming both the OS Staff's dog on Madden day, Rob Fetter checks in today with a look at why Madden's online modes are disappointing and what it will take to rectify the situation. Check out his thoughts in his article, We Need More From Madden Online.

Quote:


	"Online Leagues. Really that�s it? When online leagues were announced originally, I thought that was enough -- at least it�s something new that we haven�t had before with Madden. I�ve been conditioned by EA to just take my little additions they add, thank the company, and move on to be happy with saying, �it�s a step, maybe next year.� But I don�t think that I can do that when it comes to Madden this year.

QB Quick snapping is killing online play......Big Time !!

Madden Overall is a very good football game to play, if you play it like a real game of football, however this quick snapping crap that is going on online .....just drives me crazy !! because you cannot analyze the offensive personal or where they are lined up on the field......Thus the offense has a huge advantage and I can promise you that all the better players online are using this cheeeeeez tactic.

Bottom Line: Quick snapping all game long is not realistic at all unless your maybe in some type of 2 minute offense and even then QB's analyze the defense before hiking the ball.

Who cares about the online features when they can't even get online play right!!

They need to forget the P2P based gameplay, and give us server based gameplay to eliminate the lag. A billion dollar company and we're playing online games like it's 1998.

Second, they have to get rid of the random disconnect issue, and even the disconnects that happen consistently(This year's culprit is late game FG's or XP's). Every year it's always something they screw up.

Third, it's pathetic our group of guys on another site have to keep track of our records manually because the only option to play ranked games is on All-Pro. Give us more options then that.

Before this talk about playing 5 vs. 5 or whatever, straighten things out for 1 vs. 1 gameplay first. To have this much lag and stability issues in 2008 is an absolute disgrace and EA should be ashamed.

Hook up the online players for once and give us the server based gameplay that we deserve. If Battlefield can have 64 players in a game at once with little to no problems, there is NO reason EA can't give us a lag free Madden experience between 2 players, no matter where they are located.

"ONLINE FRANCHISE" "ONLINE FRANCHISE" "ONLINE FRANCHISE"
