Madden 11 News

Accordinging to the live chat from EA’s donny_moore the other day, madden 11 is said to be “simpler, quicker, deeper” as opposed to NCAA being focused on, ” core experience, innovation and authenticity.”

Anton B- This year for ratings are there ways you are going to try and get the Community MORE involved with the Ratings process, have you planned NEW ideas for us?

EA Donny_Moore- Yes Anton, that is the good news here! The bad news is, I cannot divulge any of those details yet…;( But stay tuned, we have some major things planned for the community and the ratings this year!

According to stats collected from online play, ea states that only 17 mins. of one madden game is actualy gameplay. They say the rest is compiled of navigating through plays, menus or through presentational elements. Ea says they hope to provide options to ease this strain on gamers, just imagine completing a game of madden in 30 mins. rather than an hour! Hopefully this doesn’t mean shorter quarters, I always have said forget the new feature lets perfect the game play, I dont care about some new chain gang annimation ( although it’s pretty kool ) but if the basics were ever perfected than you could worry about the fancy stuff.

EA also discussed how the average gamer only uses thirteen plays out of hundreds available. The idea is streamling of playbooks since most people are only gonna use a handful of plays especialy since majority of playbooks are relatively similar. Personaly I hope someday they give the option to create your own playbook that can be used online or in tournaments. Yes, this might lead to a playbook full of money plays but I would love to create a playbook designed around my play style. Just imagine how long a offensive lesson would take lol.

What do you guys think about the gameplan for madden 11?

BackBreaker Football!

S1D3WaYz — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:11:03 +0000

To me the new BackBreaker game reminds me of the Nintendo 64 NFL Blitz. I remember the Blitz game would let you hit the guy after the play, truly hilarious. They say you will never see the same tackle twice in this game because of the revolutionary euphoria engine.

From what I read there will be two modes of gameplay, arcade & pro. Euphoria natural motion engines first appeared on Grand Theft Auto IV & is now finally making it’s way to football, I can’t wait!

NCAA Football 10 Tips – Defensive Planning

biglamb — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:10:32 +0000

EA Sports released some new tips for NCAA Football 10. If you have played NCAA Football 10 most of you know these things. There really isn’t much here but it could benefit the rookie players who are not familiar with this information and what settings to use and when.

The game-planning feature in NCAA Football 10 is a pretty powerful weapon with plenty of risk and reward. While it may be tempting to set all of the settings to ‘Aggressive,’ these items should primarily be used in specific situations and not for long periods of time.

Madden Dime blitz mini-scheme

S1D3WaYz — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:36:08 +0000

Utilizing you team personnel such as DB speed is very lethal on madden 10. In this free tip the W.S.T Crew showcase a very unique dime blitz scheme.Play: Dime normal strong roll 3
Setup: ( Remember If flipped at play call’ screen, this play will get pressure from opposite side ) This play is found in about every playbook, it’s best used vs shotgun but is not an everydown play. I like to press coverage and man align to keep the players from moving around to much. I then blitz the MLB over the center. Next step is to then put both DT’s in contain. The left blitzing DB i hot route into a deep blue zone then put the CB on same side into a flat or purple zone. ( to get the left CB to press coverage put in purple zone & spotlight the corresponding CB hes’s guarding.) I manualy play the FS as a yellow zone over the mid. *optional- to enhance this play i like to bring the SS down towards the l.o.s so a streak isn’t a quik pass option as well as move the right side blitzing DB a lil closer to the tackles.

Play: dime normal strong roll 3
Setup: This play is also from dime normal strong roll 3 and although it gives a different look it also generates quik outside pressure which is great for containg a mobile QB. What i like to do is press coverage & man align. I then slide the D-line right then pinch, this will allow the LDT to line up directly over the Center. I put this LDT in a contain( notice how he distracts the LG/LT) I also blitz the MLB directly behind so that he engages the Center. As far as the coverage go’s, I like to put the left blitzing nickel into a deep blue and left CB in a purple zone. Finaly, I bring the FS as well as SS down into the box then play FS over middle of the field.

Play: dime strong roll 3
Setup: this is the coverage version that you mix in with the blitz to generate a pick. What I do with this play is first set it up to look the same as the blitz so pinch the line, press coverage & man align. I put the left blitzing nickel back in a flat zone,FS in a yellow hook zone( make sure you move him a yard, this will make him play yellow wherever you place him ) put LDT in a spy, RE in a purple buzz zone & right side blitzing DB in a yellow. I like to bring the SS in the box as seen from the blitz version & manualy play as the right side DB in yellow hook zone.
