Madden NFL 11 Q&A (PS3) - Steve_OS

07:06 PM - August 2, 2010 by Steve_OS

I'll take questions tonight, but after that, I send it off to the reviewer. He can then decide to do the same, or just wait for the review.

With that out of the way, what questions do you have? I haven't gone too deep into franchise, but we all already know, not much has changed there.

*Closed it up at midnight, but there are quite a few questions answered.

Probably getting ahead of myself here but I'll ask:

Is there any impact on Gameflow/Gameplan when changing coaches in franchise mode? An IGN preview said yes several months ago but it was never really talked about any further.

And don't judge for me for this trivial question

:

For Romo's default pocket stance, is he holding the rock with one or two hands?

Thanks Steve!

You know, strange you mention that. I played a Saints @ Vikings game earlier and didn't hear Favre get mentioned once. I thought it was just me, LOL.

PS3 has stats after just about every play, showing the key player stats from the person that made the play. As for replays, not too many and I'm not seeing any slider for it, but I may have missed it. It is unfortunate the replays are cut short. Hopefully, that gets fixed.

On All-Madden, yes. On any other difficulty, I'd have to say not as much as I'd like.

Hmm. Not sure... Was there last year? I didn't keep track of that sort of thing. I'd have to dig into it...

Will have to play w/ fatigue. But playing against the Panthers or Phins, seems Williams gets most of the 1st and 2nd down, as Stewart gets 3rd. For the Phins, it's 1st and 2nd for Brown and 3rd for Ricky W. Unless of course the Phins are running Wildcat.

Woah, great question. I tried to figure it out. I don't think you can... Will bang on it some more, if I have time. Interesting...

EDIT, hmm... Looks like you can... Not sure how many you can do, but it seems you can edit gameplans and save them, then use them in franchise vs. the cpu. Could be very interesting. I did it quickly, but it sure looks like it works.

Sorry, servers seem to be down, so I can't test it out.

Hmm. I actually played Madden 10 more than any other Madden to date. So if you didn't like it, well...

Issues that bugged me last year, the sideline catches and runners going out of bounds. (Also the flat routes, which have made their return, argh...) At least sideline and runners going out of bounds for no reason, have been fixed.

Hmmm. As far as I can tell, you can't change teams mid-franchise. I could be wrong, but it sure doesn't look like you can.

Doesn't look like you can edit body types. Height and Weight are fixed.

Not really seeing anyone "Command" a double team, but there are blocking assignments that utilize it. I too wish if someone was dominating, the offense would change up to make sure it was equalized.

Getting some stats together for next post or so...

If I have time, I'll dig into that. Highly unlikely tho bro.

As for Romo's pocket stance, seems to be the same as M10 to me. If it is different, it is very subtle.
