yeah I agree but its not easy. iphone and android has already took advantage of this. Essentially if the device is offline, the data is cached locally on the device and upon being online it is pushed to the server. The problem with that in Madden and NCAA is that results are dynamic and contingent upon the remaining 31 or 11 others in the league.
· New lead passing system with new catch animations · FOOT PLANTING AT ALL POSITIONS!!!! · New quick cuts used by pressing RB and LB · Little scuffles after certain plays · Players stretching ball for 1st down · New celebrations with more teammate interactions · Commentary that goes along with everything that is happening · Players taunting automatically when they have a clear path to the end zone
Forget about anything that saves locally to the Xbox/PS3. That's why you can't do this suggestion, AND the other one I said wasn't feasible. In Madden the files are not hosted locally like they are in NCAA. That's why there is no transfer failed in Madden.
1. tranning camp battles 2. mini camp for roster progression before tranning camp starts 3. new broadcast team , get good dual of two well know broadcasters 4. keep improving other areas in that is part of the game 5. keep making this game the best dang game you can , is the reason i keep getting because its good sports game for even non football fan.
I appreciate the explanation but then if one of the teams is still connected to EA, why can't they upload and pull that file down for use later once the other team reconnects?
First thing I know people hate this but complete mindset needs to be approached this yr. should be about "consequences" Meaning when u make a decision their will be one of two things happen. We all know that the nfl is a game of inches big plays in the nfl is rare the game is based on smart decisions and determination the field is way bigger than madden predicts. This yr. the team needs to take in conderation that wen you miss a tackle it's very likely the safety will be on top of you or the help defense will be waiting very few plays go for huge yardage. We want sim football enough with arcade please. 1. Tackling lets see more animations lets have the options that if u come off the edge as a rusher u can go after the qb arm or make a plain tackle. Lets have the options to be able make a legs tackle or go for the ball. going for the ball against a great ball carrier he will likely drag u for a few yrds and a not so good carrier your awarded a fumble 2. Blocking I wanna see more fights lets see some authentic looking double blocks and wen seeing play art show who will be double team and give the user the abliity to double rushers like Jered Allen make another DL beat u. 3. Running backs lets see authentic run styles more authentic moves adding more animations. And wen running with anyone be able to reach out for extra yards but with that comes the chances of fumbling. 4. Secondary vs receivers lets see these guys touching from the scrimmage to the catch. Make ratings more meaningful. If the receiver has had a few Short yardage catches and haven't build his confidence up then u have the ability to take him completely out the game mentally. 5. Nfl superstar team up with NCAA and with my experience I wanna be a full pertispant of the combine even the senior bowl and draft day. All the events and they all effects ur status but not so much against overall ratings. The biggest let down for me was the terrible camera angle I would like to see a view behind the visor or the face mask it will bring a sense of dynamic and great feature. 6. EA has a great face recognition with FIFA please implement that with the players lets see exact hair, body structures, and shoes. 7. More fans and sidelines need to come alive if that's too much atleast make each stadium play their authentic music throughout the game. 8. Pleas add more Plenties and look into the challenge system. Need the able to select what were challenging. My finally thought if EA spends enough money on the game and exploring their respurces i can promise it will pay off and they will be the #1 sports game it will shut up the 2k wonders. Spend money in bringing real players in the studio to see running styles defensive backs interactions and a new equipment upgrading mode according to the season every item they wear.
Only one thing that kills any attempt at OF joy for me... #1 Ability to Import NCAA draft classes to online franchise...why this is a problem and hard to do i dunno...makes no sense..
A Couple More Things EA Should Add Which Will Make This Game Much Better. 1. More Interaction With Teammates. Remember NFL Gameday? You Could Select Different Types Of Celebrations. Ex. Dunking The Goalpost, Lambeu Leap(Not Sure If Its Already In There, I Don't Play With GB), Running Up To Fans And Giving Them The Ball Etc... - Chest Bumps After Big Plays. Ex. Sacks, Big Hits That Cause Fumbles, Interceptions Etc... 2. Momentum - Weight/Power Ratio Needs To Be In This, Madden 12 Did Somewhat Better But Could Be Way Improved. If Brandon Jacobs Is Running Full Speed, Hes Not Going To Go Down On The First Hit, He'll Lower His Shoulders And Run You Over. - Big Plays Should Excite Defenses/Offenses. And Improve Your Team. Something Like The Old PS2 Days On NCAA But Obviously Better. - Crowds Need To Be Involved More When Things Happen, Make It Seem Like Your In A Stadium. - Along With Momentum Should Come Winning Streaks. Look At The Giants, They Were Out Of The Playoffs Then They Get Healthy And Win A Couple Games And Now Their In The Super Bowl. But I Guess That Depends On The User, But Maybe For CPU Controlled Teams. 3. Weather - Bring Back The Option To Select Our Own Weather For Games. - Heavy Snow/Rain Needs To Look Like Heavy Snow/Rain. Better Animations Of Slipping/Sliding. The Jacksonville Game This Season Is A Perfect Example. - Stadium Preview From Madden 03 Should Be Brought Back, Just Because Its Raining/Snowing Doesn't Mean The Wind Is 10+ MPH. You Could Then Choose To Have No Wind, Light, Heavy. Also If Wind Is Going To Be In The Game, It Needs To Have A Better Effect On The Ball. 4. Creating/Editing Players - In My Last Post I Mentioned In The Coaching Section To Upload A Picture Of Your Face, So You Could Truly Feel Like You Were In The Game. That Needs To Be In The Process Of Creating Players - Have Multiple Hair Styles, And Ones That Look Real. Dreads Need To Flow Like Dreads In Real Life. Tattoos That Look Real Would Be Nice Add A Different Image To Realism 5. Pre/Post Game Shows - It Would Be Cool To See How My Team Is Matching Up Against Others, Also Strengths Vs Weaknesses Of Both Teams, Where They're Ranked In The Conference/Division/NFL - Halftime. A Cutscene Into The Locker Rooms And Have The Coach Give Some Type Of Speech To Boost The Morale If Your Getting Outplayed, Something Along Those Lines Would Be Awesome! - Post Game Should Have Interviews Of The Coach/MVP/Player Of The Game And You Can Choose How To Answer The Questions Like In UFC And The NBA2k Series. - Should Have Something For Super Bowl Week Only If Your Team Your Controlling Is In It. Not All The Festives But Something Different Would Nice. 6. Miscellaneous - Better Dimensions Of The Field It Self, Needs To Feel Longer When Running 60+ Yards, Also Wider. Not So Congested. - Stop Superman Linebackers And Those Miraculous One Handed Catches - Planting And Cutting Of Feet And Legs Is A Must, Incorporate Maybe L1/R1 Plus Analog Stick To Do That.. When Rushing The QB Especially Around The Tackles The Dip Move Should Come Into Play. Use L3/R3 R2 - Tackling Should Have Different Buttons, To Determine How You Want To Tackle, When Tackling Bigger Backs You Want To Take Out The Legs And Ankles. - Challenge System Needs To Have Choices. If I'm Challenging Because I Thought I Didn't Full The Ball, I Don't Want To Challenge To See Where The "Ball Spot" Is At For The Other Team. Have 3-4 Choices To Challenge. - 2 Minute Warning Comes To Quick, You Never See The End Of A Play, It Just Goes To The Cut Scene, What If My Opponent Fumbles But Is Stopped Because Of The Quick 2 Minute Warning Flaw. - Pro Bowl Needs To Have Players Respective Teams Helmets. - 40 Time Should Be A Factor, Possibly Bring That Option Back, And Instead Of The Sticks, Use L2 And R2. Then Lean Forward With The Sticks. - Double Moves Need To Be A Factor, They Burn Cornerbacks Most Of The Time, But In Madden They Hardly Work. - Tweaks To Game AI, The Cornerback Shouldn't Be Able To Run The Receivers Route With Him. Sorry, I Got Ahead Of Myself Lol, But All These Would Be Great Factors And Bring Such A Real Authentic Feel To Madden.
I have been harking on this for a very long time. Its something about the file transfer and the ratings that prevents them from doing it. Something about the Rookies come in rated too high but it is definitely an area that I think needs addressing. There should be a specific person who works between the two Dev teams to work this problem out. I only used to purchase NCAA for the Draft classes and to me that INSTANTLY connects the two games. I would have NO problem with running an NCAA OD and having the same guys with me in an Online Franchise drafting each others players. Thats a gauranteed two sales from me if they can connect those two entities. Just think; you get a chance to Draft some of your Rival Universities players that may have been a thorn in your side in NCAA or just getting a chance to draft a player you had in NCAA and watch him progress even further. IM 100% behind you in this thought! Im sure Donny Moore has created ENOUGH Draft classes by now that he need not keep creating them every year (for those who do no import from NCAA)
Part of the issue is that the two ratings systems aren't equivalent. There are ratings that don't have something to map to.
I understand this. My thing is if they can spend the time and resources to either find something to map the ratings to or make the game ratings equivalent (because its not a different sport) that this could not only boost their sales but also tremendously HELP Online Leagues/Online Gaming. Hardcore franchise guys would eat this up and even more than that; it allows for more immersion into the two titles as I mentioned previously. Guys who LOVE Football and normally only play NCAA would be more apt into picking up Madden for playing Online Franchise to see guys progress and get Drafted. Guys who play Madden but HATE the Draft classes would be more apt to getting NCAA just to import the Draft classes with REAL Names. It may take some effort to iron those things out but thats a big disconnect that could really take Online Dynasty/Online Franchise to the next level of enjoyment.
Not saying you did or coming at you like you did ; just stating my opinion in something I feel will make them way more cash; and we all like CASH.
i agree, that's the "next" level of enjoyment.... I'm more interested in getting things in the current level fully fleshed out.. OD working without the bugs and a more robust CC... Online Franchise fully functioning and web enabled. Let's get that done first.
Very true, no need to be the wagon in front of the horse. I guess the use of XFN really satisfied my need for the web capability of Madden OF but some of the roster details leaves much to be desired. Everybody knows the draft classes, ratings, potential, etc. Even more so though; I'd like to see some of the legacy gameplay issues addressed that have been mentioned in this thread. Madden 12 is a step in the right direction so Im ready to see what 13 holds, improves upon, or abandons.
then can you enquire about able to make our own draft classes, with basic player templates and edit the rating to make new players
I don't know if it's a ego or pride thing within the EA teams but I just feel as if they should be working together as 1. It's millions invested in the company when a title is up all teams should chip in. Maybe the battlefield team can give u tips on building and background Fight Night on body models Fifa on hair. Idk I just love football and it should be right and authentic. They should be building instead of always tearing down. Maybe they are waiting for the next gen consoles. Something just never really clicks with EA
I'm not sure why you think they don't communicate. It's easy to share between Madden and NCAA because they are in the same building, but FIFA is in Canada.
Well EA is EA so any resources within the brand should be avaliable. The player models have looked like crap until recent. The arms legs or necks were off. Something Fight Night coulda helped with. It's just pathetic that EA just mastered 3D grass
Wen it's all said done with the NFL brand in its back pocket EA hasn't used that to its full potential. They has access to the complete stats at any giving time. They should be piling us on with stats throughout the game and displaying things like how affective that player is in the secOnd half or when playing a Certain team Even in stadium or domes. I mean when u break it down MaddEn and NCAA are way behind. Can u believe we don't even real ball physics I mean seriously. When u change the challenge from all-pro to all-madden u lose total control over the receiver that's just something that's strange to me. It's also strange to break a big play and the crowd not even acknowledge me. I mean we have these forums every year begging for the same simple things. I mean if we were asking for too much then how about let someone else make the game.
Well since we cant have draft classes, can they give us a website or add it onto the NFL dynasty wire thing thats comming up, a DRAFT builder website. Where there are Templates for 1st rd Qb, 2nd round qb, all the way to undrafted make it that way for every position and allow the commish to edit the ratings, names, everything to make it how ever realistic or close to RL draft prospects as possible. Basically a Teambuilder but really its a draft builder, prospects instead of teams
another idea is to get rid of pony dail dreads and have them hang out around the neck down the back. We also need short dreads to hang out of the helmet more..
With all the real issues this seems trivial but it always got on my nerves. I love a OD or OF that is deep in history etc. Why when a guy retires or leaves college we cant have his stats remain in a career stat category?. If you want to review career leaders etc . How hard is it not to "erase" all the history? It sure cant require much disk space to store some simple print data.
