Least Favorite thing in Madden 11?

Yeah, I just want to see the views of other people. One thing that irks me is the Free Agent signing in franchise mode. Another is imported draft classes.

The fact that the game feels like they shipped it when it was only 70% complete.

My biggest problem also is the imported draft classes (mainly the QB position)
also I can't stand the scouting system, I would like to see it like the older madden titles where they don't just come out and tell you every stat, they did a lot of comparisons and just general details like "This guy has great speed, are you sure he is a TE" (can't remember the actual statement but something along those lines) I also have a problem with the current potential rating system, I just don't like it.

On field...too many cpu missed field goals, and pass D is pretty poor.

Potential rating. I know Donny is so proud of his ratings and will not remove the potential most likely, but at least make it hidden. If I draft a rookie and see he is 49 overall and has F potential, I am not going to sign him even if he was my 1st round pick.

That never happens in real life. Name me a team that drafts a player in the first round then doesn't sign them because they don't think he'll be good.

I think the potential rating should be more like NCAA's and porgressin needs to be rethought. How does Donny know that Justin Tryon will not improve much more? He may turn into the next Champ Bailey and will be a 98 overall in Madden 13, but I won't be able to get him to that rating in my franchise because the way ratings are limited due to potential.

Potential should just be a baseline for how much a guy is expected to improve. It should not be something set in stone. If I see my rookie has C potnetial, then that just means he won't grow as fast as a player with A potential, but they can both reach 90 overall. It may take the guy with C potential 9 years while it takes the guy with A potential only 5 years.

Ill second that, this is the most frustrating thing for me right now win or loose.

Franchise Mode. Not one single improvement for another Madden, that's like 4 years in a row without any improvements

And there is so much that needs to be done to it. But theyd rather waste time and money puttin in a pointless strategy pad when the old way worked perfectly.

Re: Least Favorite thing in Madden 11?

You guys do realize franchise mode is supposed to be the greatest its ever been enxt year? Of course we don't know what to really expect, but I am holding EA to very high standards if they are willing to take 2 years to rebuild the mode.

Hopefully we'll get Head Coach 12 as our franchise mode along with Madden 12 gameplay. Then we'll have a great game. I'm going to stop before I get off topic any more.

That is patently untrue. This year didn't get much of anything, but Madden 10 was a huge improvement over 09.

To the original question, the lack of consecutive hit tackles/real time physics/what ever you want to call it.

If you are asking something in the game instead of something lacking in the game, then the answer would have to be strategy pad. I am waiting for the patch to bring back the old method. I am used to SP at this point, but I still don't like it. More so the new way audibles are called.

Re: Least Favorite thing in Madden 11?

The fact the game is geared towards offense and high scoring and will go that way despite good ratings, strategy or user play. I've always been nasty on the D sticks, now I can't cover, tackle or force a mistake at all. It's not adjusting to a new game, the potential just isn't there. If you were to ask Vegas for a generic over/under score of a full football game it'd be between 40-50, as in both teams would total 40-50 points by combining their score. Here one team scores 40+ alone, that is not good.

It drives me crazy when I want my guy to hit someone and then he just falls down instead. I have said this a million times before, but it is frustrating that EA doesn't know how to fix the problem.
