How about a vote on the player speed difference slider? In my offline leagues in both Madden and NCAA I have it at 0. You see a LB run down a swift WR? Its because the slider is 50 by default. It negates the speed difference of players. Set lower increases the speed difference so that a fast player is fast compared to a slow player.

It makes sense but most of us are use to playing with that setting. Putting it at 0 basically means the faster team should win. That was Madden 11 in a nutshell. I guess if there was a strong amount of support for this we could adjust it, maybe to 25.

It doesn't mean they will win but if you have a mismatch you might actually be able to take advantage of it vs having a slow player all over your receiver. Release and press help negate speed, depending on your DB ratings.

Moving sliders don't always do much anyway. I have offensive pass interference at 100 and defensive at 75 and have yet to see either. Now if you bump up roughing the passer by 10, you will see it 2-4 times a game.

slick1ru2 · 09-13-2012, 07:26 PM

So can we use a legend as coach?

If you line up a 96 spd wr vs an 86 spd db on a fly route, the DB is usually chasing the wr after 20 yards depending on their starting depth.

In the real NFL intangibles are just as important as physical attributes, and EA has yet to figure out how to make this the reality in game. Until then I would rather have the sliders evening things out, as opposed to having to bench stars just b/c they have low spd ratings than.

I play with the Bucs, not known for speed at all on defense and have the #1 rated defense in the league with it set at 0. But with the AI LBs so fast against my WRs and RBs, I have one of the lowest rated offenses when it is set to 50. But whatever, is of course fine. Just try some games offline yourself and check it out. And can we play as a legend coach?

I imagine that since all the legend coaches are being unlocked in "early Sept" that they may be unlocked with the roster update, if they haven't already. Just wish they had Shula, most wins of any NFL coach.

play at whatever setting the online head to head games are set at. Thats how im sure many of us get our practice in, if thats not the case then disregard my opinion.

That's fine too. It would mean the time would have to be changed to 6 min quarters and changing the accel clock to 20 sec.

Quarter Length: 8 Minutes

Accelerated Clock: ON / 15 Seconds

In other news. Can't wait for the roster update. I need some increases on the defense for the Birds.

those two things don't affect the game play as greatly as the player speed does. Accelerated clock to a degree, but gameplay needs to be consistent imo

I am heading to the east lobby if anyone wants a game.

I used to like long games and then noticed the "underdog" factor in Madden and NCAA where in the second half the team ahead, their players start forgetting how to play and the team losing catches up. Maddening alright, lol. I make lots of pre snap adj, esp on defense so the longer, for me, the better.

yeah I tend to agree with you to a degree as far as teams coming from behind, I've seen some crazy stuff

I was up two scores in my last online game and the guy, in one minute, tied me and won in OT.

Just got some tips delivered to my iPhone. I've been studying these tips for the past few years. That's the reason I'm so great at this game. I work hard, study hard and practice using these tips that get emailed to me every week.

I believe that you start with a lot of XP points right off the bat and you spend them on things like buying a package that makes a player at a certain position get more points for you to spend on progression. I've only started as the Bucs coach. I did take over Philly online and Reid early in the season had a ton of points to spend, more that he could have had, I think, from just playing games. There may be other things like motivation or performance they add, not sure though.
