Madden 08

Superstar mode is f'n retarded.

Yeah, Biggz thinks flicking sticks or the triggers is too difficult

Anyone fancy a game?

Nah, Superstar is pretty thick. I get plays called three times in a row, despite not working the first time, and my 40 rated halfback beat out Leon Washington and Thomas Jones on the depth chart.

As for sliders, operationsports.com is a good start.

Where at on OS? I went to the forums and only saw thier review. And on Madden Mania, or whatever they changed their name to, the only good one that was confirmed by people was a 9 min All-Madden slider set. Another one that got halfway decent reviews was a 13 minute All-Pro set... both don't suit me.

I'll probably be on later. I've played one half of Madden before I turned it off, wasn't terrible or anything, just a bit meh. I'll play it later tonight and on through the week most likely.

I couldn't find them at OS either. And superstar mode really lacks, but franchise mode pleases me.

[Cactus Drags]

There's an entire forum dedicated to Madden sliders...

[ACCBiggz]

Then they are secret forums because I get these three...

The PC version of Madden is sadly a waste of money for now because EA is way too lazy to actually update the rosters. The last update (which happened to be last Friday) had Frye still on the Browns and Byron still on the Jags.

What's with the automatic motion by players?

[Cactus Drags]

Apparently, EA thinks we're too retarded to put players in motion ourselves. And I'm getting sick of the fucking jetpack INTs. Terrance Newman jumped clean over Bernard Berrian earlier to nab a perfectly timed ball from Rex Grossman. And those kinds of passes are rare enough from Sexy Rexy, I don't need the odd successful one being stolen by Superman.

[ACCBiggz]

Well it's ticking me off, it killed my two minute drive with no huddle. Especially since before next-gen we could chose the player we wanted and chose where he motions too, and most importantly...WHEN. It's just an annoyance.

Madden's so realistic, that's exactly what's going to happen on Sunday. Well, perhaps not the perfectly timed ball from Rex, but you get what I mean.

Sure, they're annoying but why not just audible to a play without the motion?

Two main reasons for this. First, this limits your plays greatly. Secondly, the play clock can start to bite you if call into an audible with fewer than ten-fifteen seconds left (depending on the play.) Motion comes in handy for creating mis-matches or just outright getting people open, especially with hot routes added into the mix.

Kinda glad I backed away from Madden in '07, as it just seems that the series has started to stall out. Ah well, I'll inevitably jump back in. They always come back.

How does it limit your plays greatly? In a no huddle situation you're going to be calling the play from the line so you have a small selection anyway. And you can always change the route of the motion man, that takes about a second.

If we're going to talk about a no-huddle situation, then yes, it becomes a little less about the amount of plays you can run and more about the possibility your opponent's going to be able to easily read and defend what you're going to do. In a regular situation, you're limiting yourself from the number of plays in your playbook to the seven or so you have as audibles (hot routes not withstanding.)

[ACCBiggz]

I'm just annoyed by it killing the clock. It makes it so the hurry up isn't a hurry up at all, it'd be quicker to just go back to the playbook and select another play. Madden isn't that bad, but they have been changing things for no reason and this stood out to me because automatic motions are pointless because the user has no control over it.

You can't change the route of a motion receiver in NCAA, so I'm guessing it's the same for Madden.
