Madden 19
First news leak:
Improved QB arm animation Route running rating is removed and replaced by deep, intermediate and short route running. New punting interface New franchise mode |
Just fix the ****ing blocking. That's all I want.
|
What you mean new franchise?
|
Hard to say. Maybe they totally revamped franchise mode.

The new punter interface has to be a joke. Nobody gives a shit about punting.

Its like enhancing fan graphics/animations in the stands or animations in between plays, during huddles, sideline cam, coaches reactions shots etc. No one cares about that shit. Just make the damn game play and AI better. God...**** the Madden franchise. I only rarely play it because I need my football video game fix, and sadly EA knows that and exploits the shit out of customers w/ their exclusive rights shit. At least w/ MLB The Show and their exclusive rights, at least it's a ****in awesome game. Only thing that's probably ever rivaled it was the '05-06 MVP Baseball series for PS2/Xbox. NCAA game was SOOOOOO much better. Dynasty mode in that game was 100000x better than any franchise mode Madden's ever come out with. |
Earlier you buy, earlier you discover the cheap cheeses that make it unplayable
|
I hope we do another online franchise here at CP.
If there's a new learning curve this year and Rocko is on the same level as the rest of us it'll be fun. |

They do need to actually do something with franchise though. It’s pathetic that Madden 05 had a more badass franchise than 18. Madden geared so much towards ultimate team because it’s a cash cow for the idiots paying out hundreds or thousands all year long for fake cards that MIGHT help them win a few extra games and will then be worthless in August. So Madden looks at it as a waste of time to screw around with franchise.
We’ll see what they show at E3. |

They'd have to figure out how to squeeze micro transactions into franchise mode before they'd ever stop just copy pasting it.

PS2-era Madden had and still has the best gameplay of any Madden era. Of course 18 is the first madden I've played since 08
I just wish we could get that gameplay with modern graphics. |

I just wish that they still made it for PC.
I really should just bit the bullet and buy a PS4 but from the sounds of it, Madden hasn't improved much. |
CP league is PS4 or Xbox?

This past year was the first time I had bought it in quite a number of years, courtesy of a $50 gamestop gift card. And while there were many improvements from the last Madden games I played, the blocking is consistently lacking. Also, when playing a franchise as a Player (whatever it's called; when you play as a QB, RB, LB etc..), it's a little broken as well. As it pertains to QB, it's impossible to get a running game going, regardless who is in the backfield. you'll see a hole open up, and the RB (computer controlled) will just inexplicably cut back, or bounce to the outside. I recently completed a season at QB of the Chiefs, the my the most yards my RBs got me in a game all season was 116. and that would be considered a breakout compared to what they usually do. I try to play pretty realistically - balanced play calling, field positioning, clock management etc, so it's infuriating to consistently have a run game that gets you 40 yds on 20 carries. So I'd say that aspect is pretty broken too. I need to play more 'regular' franchise where I can switch between players etc. |
^ Agreed Dayze. Pulling lineman suck at blocking. Tosses suck because of this.

Raise the awareness rating!

For example, with oline, all that literally matters is RUN and PASS BLOCK ratings. Impact block if you have extra XP to burn, and all that does is increase your dice roll chance of a pancake block on a pull (toss, power-0, etc). For dline, literally all you need is BLOCK SHED and either POWER MOVE or FINESSE (dont waste in both). Strength and awareness don't do shit this year. In your secondary, 91 zone coverage is all you need. Thats the threshold where the defender AI will break on a pass during the QB's throwing motion. Literally before he even separates his ball secure hand from the football, they break on the pass like superman. |

There wasn't a blitz. I didn't expect NT to come through unblocked. |
and the other thing I'm reminded of, is how useless play action is.
I mean, yeah, you might hit a big play on play action, but I don't think it's because of the PA part of the playcall. when you watch replays, viturally no defender ever reacts to the PA. you could run the ball 20 plays, and pass 2, and the defenders will still not react to the run fake. Therefore.....just sling it on every down lol. Granted, most of my playing comes from playing as a Player/Position so maybe that game mode is different. but in that mode....if you're not a RB, running the ball is effectively a worthless option. seems like Madden is very close to making an awesome game if they would just fix a few fundamental parts of the game. But it seems they're more worried about featuring color rush uniforms, or Longshot Mode etc. I've never played online, so I have no idea how that mode is, if it's as broken as the rest of the game. Madden would be an awesome game if it was $30-40. but each year, $70 for basically the same game year in and year out....pffft. I still play it a lot, (well, as much as I'm able to / availability), but getting a new copy each year basically depends if I get a gift card or not lol. otherwise, I 'll buy a 2 year old used copy for $15 each year. |

Oh yeah I forgot to LMAO @ 'New QB Arm Animation' and 'New Punting Interface'
|
Better than the game breaking kick block bug
|
And it's barely changed from 2014.

It's been like that forever. Just buy a new one every 4 or 5 years. Then you can actually notice a difference instead of paying 60 bucks for a roster update and a few new animations. |

you're just using a shitty QB with a low play action rating. |

if you hold the snap until 3 seconds are left the kick is unblockable |

I've blocked a couple dozen FG's this year online. Had a few of my own blocked as well. Doesn't happen often though.

Whatever EA. Better do better than that. I got the G.O.A.T. edition last year for MUT, but this year I'll be sticking with the $60 basic game. |
just seems like they recycle the same handful of 'features' each year on a rotational basis.
|
So they're back to fiddling with the running game? Wasn't there one year where it was reerunedly easy to run because of this shit.

Available on PC?
Please be for real! |
On madden mobile it hard to get the chiefs players i like. Costs in the millions.
|
Huh. New depth chart positions.
https://i.redd.it/2algxxgoq7111.jpg I’ll save the deep dive for a future blog, but at a high level, these positions were created so that gameplay could tag formations with these new specialist positions. So for instance, instead of having to manually sub a defensive end down to defensive tackle out of Nickel, just assign that player to your Rush Defensive Tackle slot and he’ll already be there every time you call a Nickel defense. |
About time they have slot WR/CB.

So was the PC claim false?

And Franchise is so far beyond broken. |

I wouldn't say it's broken, but I can certainly say there's a major lack of effort and thought put into it compared to what they could be doing with it. It's an extremely generic franchise mode right now, and they don't really care about it anymore because it doesn't make them money like Ultimate Team does. |

Connected franchise mode is dog shit for the most part. If you disagree, your expectations are set far too low.
Go play 2K’s career modes and see the difference. Their modes aren’t perfect but they are 10x better than Madden. |
13 years and still no desire to play EA football! I havent posted a **** EA football in years, so here it is, **** EA football!
Yes, i realize no one cares, but i still put in my worthless 2 cents! |

Exclusive first gameplay of Madden 19. It's only a short clip. (Pay attention to the DT up the middle).

LMAO

Same shit game. Cheesers are the only hope...
|
There's little reason to believe the game will be the same. Madden 18 had significant differences compared to Madden 17. For one thing, they fixed zone defense entirely.
