Madden

So is the new Madden any good?

 

So btw I see that Madden for PC is not out yet.It kind of suck That PC is now not looking as good as far Xbox or PS2.I wish EA would make NCAA® Football for PC .It seem like every think that PC is not as good as it was when there was no PS2 or Xobx in fact i think PC is as good as PS2 or Xobx.I have been playing Madden for 10years from 1996 and i have to say if someone had come to me and say he I will give you a free PS2 or Xobx so you won't have to play madden on PC anymore.I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

 

Got it last night played for 3 hours and then played for 4-5 hours today. I like it alot and I am an ESPN 2K5 fan. The precision passing and QB vision make the game more realistic AND harder. Interceptions are rampant. I've probably had 15 or more in the online games I have played. If you throw outside the QB vision the chance of an INT is huge. Just played a guy online (he was NYG and I was DAL and I had 7 INTs because Eli had a small cone and he kept lofting it to receivers outside the cone).

I still pretty much suck at the game but I can see little improvements here and there. There are alot of offline practice options that I really like. I like the Football 101 option but can't figure out how to get the defensive tutorials.

If anyone wants an easy win send me a friend request (XBOX) to kandp dad and I'll be the easiest win you'll ever have.

I won't deny that I didn't like the price. For that price the gameplay was awesome. I personnaly like Madden better. Just a curious question, have you played Madden 06 yet? This game is just great. The new passing feature is very realistic. This game limits the lucky, players who just loft passes, from doing it. The good players just get better, while the lucky ones don't. The game has improved every year. I know it's not 20 bucks, but go to you local Blockbuster and rent it.

 

I played Madden06 last night. I set the difficulty on Madden level and was up 30-7 (panthers v saints) at halftime. The only reason the Aints scored was because I tried forcing a pass to the non-vision side of the field to see what would happen, and then I tried to hit stick the DB with my RB and missed him.

The game is way too easy and arcade-y. 2k was harder. Maybe not better, but harder.

Madden will probably be more fun as a pickup game with my bro & such though. Easy learning curve.

 

ps2 online name Pantherking

hit me up if yall want to play sometime

 

You were playing the Saints. If you are that good you need to play online for money.

 

It's not hard man. I don't know the AI's ability to pickup on play patterns (2k seemed ok at it). All I did was mix up my playcalling. I cant mash the buttons like my bro can, but if you do a good job as an offensive coordinator, you can score at will on anyone.

Stopping people is another matter. Against a cpu, it's usually easy to find one defensive set that causes the other teams offense fits. Then you just make sure to mix up your blitz patterns.

I play to the open field a lot. I think like a soccer player who plays "clear space". Once another player locks onto the fact that I'm gonna do a buncha motion stuff and throw often to the flat or deep timing routes, I usually get owned. If you can play MLB correctly, you'll kick my behind.

The iso on one receiver has helped me complete passes to the tight ends better than any game Ive played before. I used to suck at that. Freddie Jones had a huge game in terms of clutch catches for 1st downs.

Oh, and Ricky Proehl's hands are leather magnets. He simply doesn't drop anything. I overthrew a ball to him using that left controller option, and he pulled it down despite getting totally chopped from underneath by two guys. He rules.

 

I never once said it was hard for me, I said if you are that good you should play for money. I murder the computer on all madden. Playing someone else is different, like you said.
