The Official Madden 11 Thread (PS3/360) RD: August 10, 2010 *Pics, Vids*

My Issues with Madden:

 

Superstar Mode:

Lack of options for speaking to Agent. What if I want to praise my team or call out sometime

Does not display salary/bonuses/incentives

Starting when I am 15 points worse than the next QB.

Poor Overall Display

Needs to take a look at MLB the Show Create a Player

 

 

Franchise Mode

Can’t front load contracts

Can’t back load contracts

Can’t make contracts incentive based

Can’t do a large sign on bonus with a small salary

Can’t change ticket prices to increase revenue

Can’t decide which players on your team to market

No one makes trades like in the NFL everyone wants a first rounder for any of their players

Crowds are still packed in rain games (I was at the Panthers game this weekend and it was half full)

No one every signs for below what is the standard for their ratings. You could of never signed TO for his little contract.

Old players did not become coaches this year

I thought that was just because I was using Cutler.

This game is such trash. Can't even get through one online game w/o someone cheesing like a @#$##.
Any of ya'll play online and some dude did the glitch where they automatically draw an offside penalty?

Can someone please help me with some tips? I can't seem to stop the run or the screen pass at all. Usually someone either uses screen passes or runs the ball all day on me. I know for screens, I put my corners in a flat, but they still seem to get a chunk of good yards off.

As for the run, no matter how much i load up the box and run a 46 or even a nickel, I get burned.

To stop the screen pass it's just a matter of whether you can see it coming or not. If you see it coming then obviously you just run to the screen with whoever you are on defense. To stop the run though.... I don't know, I'm not too good at stopping it myself. I wouldn't recommend stacking the box cause that just makes it easier for them to run to the outside. It's best if you play as the safety and just contain the outside.

[h1]Title Update #4[/h1][h3]by Ian Cummings  10/19/10 9:26 AM [/h3]

First off, we have been aware of a roster de-sync issue that resulted in more disconnects during some online games - primarily affecting Online Franchise and Madden Ultimate Team games. Rest assured we have a fix slated for this upcoming title update, and more details are explained below.

update4_1.jpg
 

Ultimate Team ‘Rivals Pack'
The biggest delivery for this update is a set of features built around Madden Ultimate Team, and this signifies a few months of development work as we couldn't squeeze these features in by the ship date. The "Rivals Pack" delivers three new features for Ultimate Team, allowing you to make new rivals in Tournaments, face off against old rivals in Play vs. Friends, and renew some rivalries with Refer a Friend.

New Feature #1: Tournaments
You guys have asked for Tournaments in Ultimate Team for a while now, and we're happy to say that they will be available in the next title update. Here are some details about this brand new feature:

1. Each tournament has entrance criteria which can range from specific players to minimum team skill or chemistry.
2. Once you enter the tournament, you'll be matched up against another tournament player and battle it out. The owner who wins the game will move on to the next round while the loser has to start the tournament over.
3. You win coins every time you advance and if you advance to the last round and win, you'll earn even more coins and you might even win a rare player.
4. Tournaments, like Collections, are dynamic and new tournaments can (and will) be added throughout the season.
5. We're also planning on having special promotional tournaments where we release an insert for the weekend and those that find that insert can enter a special tournament.

New Feature #2: Play With Friends
Another feature the community has asked for is the ability to play against your friends in Ultimate Team, and that will finally be available in Title Update #4. You can challenge your friends anytime they are online and play a game of MUT.

 
update4_3.jpg


New Feature #3: Refer a Friend
One of our favorite new features is Refer a Friend. If you have buddies that play Madden, but they haven't joined Ultimate Team, you can earn coins for getting them to join up. A brand new screen has been added that allows you to keep track of your invites and your rewards from the friends that have accepted the referral. See below:

Uniform Updates

update4_5.jpg


Here's a list of uniform updates that will be rolled out when Title Update #4 releases:

• Added alternate tops for the 3 Vikings jerseys featuring the 50th anniversary patch being worn this season.
• Added the current ******** Home and Away uniforms. In addition the socks issues are fixed.
• Added the current Chargers powder blue uniform.
• Added a uniform top for the Saints including the Super Bowl Champions patch as seen in their home opener.

Content Updates
Here's a list of some of the other changes we've made to Madden NFL 11 that will be rolled out when Title Update #4 releases:

• Fixed a couple of random Madden Moments stability issues.
• Fixed the user's ability to view play art manually if the opponent on defense holds LT/L2 pre-snap.
• Fixed an exploit where the user could audible when coming out in the Bronco Heavy formation with a HB or WR at QB.
• Fixed an exploit where after pressing the square/X button on defense a user is able to hold down on the L-stick which allows the defender to release off the LOS and go after the QB as soon as the ball is hiked.
• Fixed a hanging issue with onside kicks in Madden Moments Live and offline Madden Moments.
• Fixed an issue causing a high percentage of disconnects in Online Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and other online head-to-head games

Well, that's it for the update on Title Update #4. Expect it to arrive at the end of this month or the first week of November with all the features and improvements you see listed above. If you have any questions or comments feel free to hop over to the EA Forums to discuss.
