Wow .... what a game, just beat the Broncos in Denver 37-30.
Cassel had 282 yards passing, compteled 17-30 pass attempts with a 67 completion %, 2 TDS and 3 INTs while rushing 5 times for 49 yards. Manning was 17-31, 292 yards passing, completing 54 %, 2 TDS and 3 Ints. Charles had 112 yards rushing and 1 TD, Hillis 39 yards on 10 attempts. McGahee had 125 yards rushing. Baldwin and Bowe each had 90 yards receiving while Demaryius Thomas scorched Flowers for 200 yards receiving. Tough game, came down to the wire. Oh yea and Arenas had a 104 yard kickoff return for a TD. Anyways I like this game so much better, feels funner than last years game, just hate it that u cant use a edited roster in the new franchise mode or change there numbers and equipment. Oh well maybe they'll add that on as an addition to next years game. |
17/30 isn't even close to 67%. If it was, we would love Cassel IRL.

Hell I'm enjoying myself playing 2012 right now.
|
Do they keep the rosters updated for 2012? I just downloaded the "latest" version... and still have a bunch of shit players. Thomas Jones, Barry Richardson etc...

That's why new Maddens are called glorified roster updates. Posted via Mobile Device |
I don't know what everyone is expecting. Flying QBs? WRs with machine guns? It's a football game. Of course it's gonna stay the same every year with a few added tweaks and modifications. It's not perfect. It's a video game. But it's not COD or Battlefield. It's not going to change much, if at all, through the years. It's supposed to be a realistic, or as close to it, NFL football game. That's why the only constant change is the roster. Love you.

I don't have a problem with Madden... I like the games. NCAA on the other hand...

Onside kicks are so cheap. Was up 24-7 with 2 mins left to go. CPU scores to make it 24-14. Onside kick. Line drive right off one of my players legs and they recover. They score on some bullshit hailmary to make it 24-21. Onside kick again. Same shit... Line drive off one of my players legs and right into their lap. Awesome!

I just wish they would put out a new ESPN 2K version and behold ****ing awesomeness would insue.
I want to get me a PS3 so I can get Madden but ever since 2K5 came out Madden football just lost it's burst and it's been disapoint. |

If they made the exact same 2k game just with new gen graphics and updated rosters it would destroy madden.

The only thing that I can say is unrealistic about this game is that I am able to shut down the CPU run game fairly easily.
|
so after you guys have bought it and played almost a week.
Was this really THE YEAR that the new dev team finally gets it?!?! remember all of that hype about how they recognize the problems and want to be passionate about making a great game? Well what do you say? |

DBs still run the routes and catch better than the receivers and linebackers still jump 20 feet in the air to make ridiculous interceptions..what exactly were the improvements?

Had S. Ridley break three tackles on an 80 yard run in my second game last night. Peachy. EDIT: On All-Madden, of course. |

This year is the best I've seen since '04 I believe. The cons on it are the RB's fall a little easy, there are a few glitches that get annoying. Things like that gif a few posts back. If you are looking for a game to just waste time, this is it. There's a lot of extras and I enjoy them. If not, wait a few months or buy a used copy since its a bit pricey right now. |

I use all-madden with custom sliders. I see pretty realistic numbers on both teams as well as a very competitive game.

Quote:
the issues that stand out to me are... -sometimes the CPU doesn't assess penalty yardage correctly. I recently played a game where I was facing 2nd down and 3. I got 2 yards running so, that would've have left me with 3rd and 1. I was called for holding on the same running play. The CPU accepted the penalty and I wound up with 1st and 9 to go. WTF? -contain doesn't seem to work for the D-line. I can do it manually but, I'd rather rush while the CPU does contain. |
ok im playing on all-madden now, i can pass the ball but cant run against any team. are there any good sliders where i can run the ball too ?
|
try tweaking the CPU defense shed block slider. on all-pro its set at 75 (i think) try turning that one down to 50-65. that will affect the CPU pass rush too. so you shouldn't turn it down too low.

some players have that trait. it sucks but it happens all the time in RL.

All-Pro is too easy too though. There were alot of times when playing on All-Madden that i wanted to throw my controller. I gotta find me some good sliders so that I can compete on all-madden but not win in blowouts too

This game is pissing me the **** off online. Charles is slow as ****ing molasses. It's aggravating when you watch other rbs run away from DJ and Charles can't out run a DE.
Kasl can't hit anyone deep. He leaves it short and gets picked all the time. Hali gets no pass rush at all. |
Quote:
I'm with you on Hali though. I've gotten maybe 2 sacks in the 6 games I've played online. Maybe I need to get better with his finesse moves. |

I'm insanely frustrated playing this game online. I get booted in the first quarter of just about every game with the reason being network timeout.
I've checked the router, reset it, ran tests on the PS3. Can't figure it out. It's frustrating as hell. |
I need to play on all-madden I think. I was on allpro against the Saints, 6 minute qtrs, accelerated play clock, and I had 478 yards and 7 TDs with Charles.....
Mostly just ran the i-form, HB Outside Zone play. I also picked off Brees like 6 times. I hope all-madden isn't too cheap because all-pro is too easy and I hate messing around with sliders. I never saw how it should be up to the player to adjust the difficulty of every aspect of the game. |
im a big fan if this years' iteration. its been a few years since I've played, and I'm out of practice. Definitely playing on pro right now. And winning fairly easily. But having a big problem stopping people unless I 'guess' run or pass, etc... With the L2 trigger presnap. Looking forward to getting better and moving to some slider tweaked allpro or all madden games. I play 15 min quarters with acc clock so that the games have a realistic number of plays and drives.
Really wish I could edit players in offline con careers mode though. |
Yea it sucks bout not being able to edit player on ccm. i've always liked to play franchise mode and build my team but one thing i like to be able to do is for sure is to use custom rosters and be able to edit players i sign or draft, not so much the ratings but stuff like their equipment and numbers. Anyways i've got some good sliders for all-madden if anybody wants em.
I just got through playing the rams and won 34-26. Cassel threw for 270 yards completing 69 % of his passes 2 TD's and 1 Int, Charles ran for 166 on 26 carriers, 2 TD's with a 6.3 ypc avg. Baldwin had 7 catches for 82 yards and 1 TD, Bowe had 4 catches for 61 yards and McCluster had 4 catches for 43 yards. Was a fun game, just sucks not being able to really get after their qb or shut down their passing game and but was able to shut down their run game. Bradford threw for 265 and Jackson had only 17 carries for 51 yards and 1 TD, Pead had 5 carries for 24 yards. So if anybody just now starting to play wants to try these sliders, just shoot me a pm and i'll give them to you. |
Heh, been playing customized all madden, not doing too bad.
I'm undefeated through 10. Cassel and Charles are tearing shit up, both are top choices for MVP. I've played 3 games and won in OT. The saints game was crazy. They jumped out ahead by 17, I roared back with a pick 6 then scored 14 before half. They made some adjustments I think because half of my usual plays weren't working, they went up by 6. I tied it up going into OT then ran the spread against them. Ended up popping right down the field and scoring a GW TD, Cassel to Hillis for 20 yards. Final score: 37-31 |

And I seem to get more sacks with Houston than Hali. There is still a little of that BS from last year's game where he falls down. :banghead: |
Quote:
I played on All Pro for awhile in the last two versions of this game. But I would get beaten when I played online against the better players in my league. I figured that I needed to up my game so I switched to All Madden (for my off line franchise) about halfway through the year. It was frustrating at first. And I had a lot of games that I would get mad and just start over until I figured out how to beat the opponent. Eventually, you figure out that a lot of shorter passes and sticking with the running game is a winning combo. That and some other things. Just try different things until you figure out what works for you. |

However, I figured out that if you swap Houston and Hali every few series, Hali gets his ass in there more frequently. Move him around a little and see what happens. |

Hali's power move skill is pretty low -- his finesse moves, however, are very high.. Maybe we're not using the sticks right? |

Are you using sprint immediately after the snap and holding it down while pushing left or right on the Right-Stick? |
I absolutely love franchise mode so far. Weekly progression rocks. I'm actually seeing improvement in my team.
A lot of anal sex happening after plays, though. Like, players just start slipping and ****ing each other in the ass. |
So I turned off auto sprint. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I'll try moving Hali around and see what that does for me. |

I have success rushing with Poe in the 1-4-6 just pressing down on the RS. If I try to play as Hali or Houston, I usually just fall down

The last three years, Tamba has been ****ing worthless in Madden. It absolutely infuriates me.
|
i have success running the 3-4 with the ends being Poe and Powe and Toribio in the middle. linebackers are able to do their jobs, and there is no stopping Hali and Houston cause of Poe and Powe requiring double teams.
|
I've been playing on All-Pro. I'm like 5-3 or something into week 10.
Houston and T Jax are monsters in pass rushing. Dorsey is a useless piece of shit. Tamba is pretty good, he has a couple less sacks than either T Jax or Houston, but he's stout against the run. Poe's strength helps out a lot; I think he has about the same amount of sacks as Tamba. I never hear Belcher, Lewis or Routt's names called. For Routt that's a good thing, not so much for Belcher although my run defense is pretty good. Lewis is just ok, not a glaring hole but I plan on replacing him in the draft with a faster player as I usually user-control the FS. Flowers locks his side down and Berry is amazing. The Chargers are up on me in the division race but I actually already beat them twice. It's looking like I'll make the playoffs either as the division champ or wildcard but we'll see. I can't wait to get to the offseason and see how they've tweaked it. I also can't wait to replace ol' Matty Cass. I have my eye on a mid-1st round QB that I'm looking to grab. There's another that's projected to go #1 that I want but I can't trade the farm for him. I lowballed Albert and now he's going to hit the free agent market (lol, asshole) and Lilja is bothering me about resigning but I think I'm going to let him walk. I was also thinking of letting Dorsey walk but I think that will be too much to fix in one offseason. |
As far as the game itself is concerned, I have to say I like it. It feels more natural than previous installments.
I haven't had the issues some are complaining about with speed. I keep the auto-sprint on but turn off auto-strafe. I generally average anywhere from 3.5-6 YPC with Charles so no need to change it. The two complaints I have so far are the GameFace and All-Madden. I uploaded my GameFace and it shows that I have it, but when I go to create a coach or player it's just the generic created guy. My GameFace shows up when I'm checking stats and things (the pic at the top), but on the field it's the other guy. Not a huge issue but kind of annoying. All-Madden is by far the most annoying shit ever. I played my first 3 games on it and about threw my ****ing remote 19 different times. It's not so much harder than it is cheap as hell and it's ****ing infuriating. I had Charles drop 2 legitimate, wide open TD passes in 7 point games. Stevan Ridley (who the **** is that guy?) broke 3 different tackles on the first play of my second game for an 80 yard TD. It's just bullshit. If they made the game tougher all around I could understand, but that kind of shit is unacceptable. It was so obviously just cheap bullshit that I couldn't help lowering the skill rating to All-Pro. And another thing, I've been playing 5 minute quarters with accelerated game clock. I'm not getting quite realistic game stats so how long of quarters would you guys recommend and should I keep the accelerate clock running? |
