Why can’t we adjust game speed like we could on the Xbox 360 and PS3?

Remember on the previous generation of madden, you could go in to the gameplay settings and you could change the game speed? When I played Madden 10, I always played on very slow. It helped me learn the game better because I could react accurately with a slower speed. I understand it should be a default speed online but why on earth was this removed for our offline stuff?

I believe one of the devs stated that it was hard to accommodate three different speeds when it comes to tuning the game. Not to mention that there's also three days different gameplay styles.

I miss this too. Just another one of the many ways that online play and the other modes have made the game worse for those of us who only do single player, offline franchise mode.

Ugh. Sounds like a copout

True that brother.

I think this is one of the worst ideas they implemented.

Can't just add layer over layer over layer.

How does game speed interact with ratings? PS3 being the same period they expanded player ratings..

How does it effect the sliders?

And now we get never ending 'tuning' updates.

terrible execution, IMO.

It would be if they hadn't overhauled locomotion. It really isn't an easy thing to do.

You might have noticed when they had the game speed setting, there were actual differences in how the game felt. This is because the game runs on frames, but the frame rate doesn't change to accommodate the game speed (unless you force it too, which basically is like making a new game for every frame rate... I'm talking sim frames here, not your refresh rate.)

I loved being able to adjust game speed, but I was always surprised it actually worked well. When they went to a more complicated locomotion model, it wasn't practical.

I miss this as well...but even more so in the college game which is way too fast for my tastes. Sometimes I feel more like an observer than an active participant...it just all happens too quickly. Would love to have even one slightly slower setting.
