Did you realize the a place kicker's awareness has the same effect on his rating as his kick power? Both are about .55 overall points per kick or awareness point. Basically you move those up or down two points and it affects one point of their rating. Their accuracy is almost one full point for a full overall point (about .9). I just hope we can actually miss a FG this year but without separate special teams sliders it's doubtful.

Special teams is a lost cause for Madden. Tiburon refuses to give sliders OR focus on special teams in anyway.Quote:

Our ratings have broken down Throw Accuracy (THA) into 3 categories: short, medium and deep. While Aaron Rodgers is very accurate throwing to all parts of the field, some quarterbacks are much more accurate on short throws than deep throws. Here’s the breakdown:
- Short Accuracy – rating is the accuracy percentage of the QB on throws under 20 yards.
- Medium Accuracy – rating is the accuracy percentage of the QB on throws of 20-40 yards.
- Deep Accuracy – rating is the accuracy percentage of the QB on throws greater than 40 yards.
God that game play is laggy as hell ugh. Looks like servers will be crap again until way until Next gen. Plus that first onside kick really :fp: I hate ti when people do that crap so annoying and one big reason I don't play onlnie.
Yup I could never play online football with strangers. I would lose my mind. Give me the couch, my headphones, and a late night vs the cpu any day.Quote:

Totally agree. I consider short yardage slants and crossing routes - stuff under 10 yards. Medium should be 10 to 25/30 yards and deep balls after that.Quote:

Jaymo, when you get the season ticket check out the special teams sliders. I'm still baffled by this screenshot I took from one of EA's earlier videos. Maybe, just maybe we'll get separate ST sliders.

Here are the offensive awareness affects in M25 by position.

A good blog from EA's line guy over WR/TE ratings. Some are in combination to determine separation, tough catches and fumbles.
http://clintoldenburg.sportsblog.com...are_rated.html
Will do Rudy. I wonder if they decided to remove special teams at the last moment? Since they removed other sliders perhaps they thought these sliders didn't work either so they removed them...???Quote:

I just don't understand Mr. Looman and his reasoning. Practise squads are essential for a true sim experience. That is what makes it compelling...:smh:Quote:
@Josh_Looman any chance that a practice squad will be in future Madden games? Or too many roster based rules for such a small feature?
Josh Looman @Josh_Looman 19 Aug
. @DeltaKoz Depends. If we can figure out a way to make it compelling, it could be possible at some point.
I was disappointed to hear the confirmation that you cannot play any other games and/or watch a cpu vs cpu game like the Super Bowl.
Personally I don't understand Mr. Looman's logic. Pretty much every sports game that is non-EA produced allows the user to play/watch other games. In my CCM 13 I drafted a qb in the first round. However, Tennessee drafted the guy I wanted. According to twitter he is a stud but I have never seen him play because OAKLAND has not played TENNESSEE in my CCM. I realize I am in the minority on this one but a feature in every other madden game before 13 is a feature that needs to return immediately IMO. What sucks is that in the current form of Madden I NEVER expect to see this feature available again.Quote:

@Josh_Looman @iloveu4ever2011 ive sent josh like 7 msgs and I cant get a reply on one...will we have cpu vs cpu in m25 like in ncaa14
Josh Looman @Josh_Looman 31 Jul
@Jamil2K12 @iloveu4ever2011 It’s currently not possible in CFM since every person playing the game is a character.
Jamil Al-amin @Jamil2K12 3 Aug
@Josh_Looman Thank you Josh...Just curious. How come its available in NCAA14. What's the difference? And can u please add it in an update
Josh Looman @Josh_Looman 3 Aug
@Jamil2K12 Completely different technology.
Nice quick reference to playbooks.

I think they have CCM coded in such a way it is very inflexible. I just don't know the answers to those Jaymo.
Here are ALL the ratings of every player in Madden.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3Ut...VQcjJiXzg/edit
I got a chance last night to start my CCM last night. In the preseason, Oakland is already going to relocate to London and change their name and uniforms for next season :D
Doing owner mode, and really digging it so far.
Never mind I'm sure season is out now my bad :fp:
You sir have just made a powerful enemy! :DQuote:

Agreed. I'm pretty much going to wait until the Xbox One releases to get Madden 25. I'm hoping, and assuming, that everything (modes, gameplay, features) will be exactly the same as the 360 version. If not, that's pretty stupid.Quote:

Personally I think the teams are too close. I love the Raiders but I would not have them higher than a 65. I would like to see more separation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHysr18U374
IF ONLY EA's developers were as talented as their advertising department.
I think that is quite a bit of separation myself but it all depends on how they calculate the team ratings. They go from 72 to 91. Imagine if that was the average rating of a starting player? That would be huge!! If Oakland's average starter is rated 72 against 91 on the 49ers that would make sense and I would expect Oakland to get dominated. Of course they would have to weight the QB higher than the FB or RG so who know how EA comes up with the total ratings.
But they must also factor backups in because EA has the majority of players rated pretty high. Their free agent list is brutal that way. Remember the McNabb fiasco from last year? Didn't he always get signed by the Browns or something making it feel scripted?
Really no 60 rated teams? that is messed up EA .I agree that the ratings are too close and to many of the teams in the 70's there should half of those in the 60's then a few mid 70's rest 80 to low 90's.
I'm shocked 49ers and Seattle are the only teams to make the 90's rated team. i figured Denver or at least NE or both would be rated 90 as well.
I think the problem is though that you don't feel the difference between a 91 team and a 77 team. I was totally dominate vs. SF. Then in my test dynasty I played as the 72 ovr Raiders and pummelled the 89 ovr Broncos 34-0 in year two of dynasty. The Raiders had resigned pretty much nobody and only had 34 players on the roster. Sure any team can beat any other team and given day but my concern is that ratings won't matter for pretty much every game.Quote:

One person on OS has hinted that the game is more difficult if you turn heat seeker and ball hawk off. Who knows? EA needs to overhaul the difficulty and slider system for Madden next year and they need to bring in someone who cares about this stuff. Whenever I would ask a Madden game changer about special teams sliders or changes, none of them even looked at the slider menu.
I cannot confirm these as I have not seen it (because I wasn't looking) but some people have simmed multiple seasons and are reporting that the inter-conference schedule doesn't rotate. In my season 2 franchise my schedule looks fine BUT there is a 3 home then three away stretch and I end the season with four straight road games followed by one home game
I was checking out the CFM website. If you have an online team you can access it here.
http://www.easports.com/madden-nfl/connected-franchise/
I played around with it. Overall it's pretty nice but it would not let me upgrade players. If I do pick up this game I could see spending some lunch-time at work playing around with this.
Update: still cannot get the site to work properly. I can look at the info but I cannot upgrade players, etc.
Rudy, I bit and decided to purchase Madden 13. The Best Buy offer was just too good. You buy Madden 25 and then when the PS4 edition comes out you have SEVEN DAYS to upgrade. All you need is your receipt and the game in good condition. I figured this was too good to pass up. If I want the ps4 edition it will cost me $7 (tax).
Pasta padre is reporting Madden week 1 sales down 37%. 1 mil vs 1.6 mil last year. That's a huge drop. Usually drops are a reflection on last year's model. I do think EA blew the anniversary edition. They really didn't do anything special. NHL packed in NHL 94. Why didn't Madden pack in an old game? Why not have Madden return as a special announcer for Monday night games? Even the opening to the game was weak IMO.
Week 1 roster update is out. I've bugged Donny Moore to fix Cam Wake. I'll have to see if he listened. Wake is a LE! Not a RE!
