Official Xbox 360 Madden '12 Online Franchise Thread OT2 Mr Peyton Goes To Washington

Is NCAA better than Madden? I have never played it before

on the field it is not better but there are a lot of things that i wish madden had:

1. full online franchise mode (NCAA has a complete online dynasty mode, no need to run it through league manager)

2. there is a much larger discrepancy between "scrambling" qb's and non scrambling qb's. in madden, you can pretty much be dangerous with QB scrambling with any qb. i mean carson palmer is fast enough in the game to get to the outside. not really this way in NCAA

the main negative in NCAA is that there are times where your AI defenders just don't do anything.... they'll just stand there while a RB goes by them or take awful angles.

i like ncaa but it's not as good as madden

This is one of the things an interview with the Madden team on gametrailers said they were addressing. Pocket speed will be much slower for QBs in '13 apparently. Not that it matters, Luck has wheels

that's fine, if a guy is rated fast then so be it. but when carson palmer and jay cutler are moving like mike vick that is a problem
 
Jay Cutler can actually run. You see him and think "dough boy" but he actually can hit the open field.

well plug whoever you want in. andy dalton, eli manning, matt ryan, carson palmer, etc etc etc. they can all run in the game to the point where it's just complete bullshit. its like the speed/acceleration stat really doesn't have much meaning because even the lowest rated is still dangerous in madden

He can run. As long as it's away from the ball. :3


You missed Peyton Manning trashcanning Ramirez on scrambles and the amazing fallout from it.

I can't wait for you and LJ's glorious returns in Madden 13!
I didn't miss that. That was the glitch?

I'm just sayin'. Cutler can scramble. I didn't argue about Palmer.... although I couldn't get him to scramblewin....

LJ's coming back for sure? :eek: We'll both be rusty, though. :( Don't think I'll win a game against the vets, but it'll be fun to play with y'all again.

i'm 9-14 in my last 23 league games
 
You mean i sent you into a downward spiral.

not really. the person that really ruined things for me was actually levious the season before. i had the #1 seed wrapped up if i just beat him and i was controlling the game and then i lost in the last seconds which sent me down to the #3 seed and the rest was history :(

my 11-0 start was a mirage. you weren't even my first loss that season! you were just part of the collapse!

I can't believe I have to wait 4 months to play some more online franchise! I was getting better, I swear. I went from 1 win from the first half season I played to 5 wins this season. I think the reason you guys are quitting is because you knew I was about to get good

I don't think I've ever seen but I've never tried looking for it. Not that it would matter if you're playing with people though...
Why wouldn't it? Rubberbanding still would effect human play. Losing team starts making low percentage three pointers, winning team starts missing dunks.
you can control both players if thats what you mean

That's tag mode. CPU Assist is the ridiculous rubberbanding that exists. At least that is the terminology used in the definitive version of JAM:

I love Bleacher Report. Reading a guys article who is grading each teams draft and he said the Bears got the steal of the draft in Alshon Jefferey, whom he had rated as the #7 overall player in the draft. So awesome

Tournament edition had the hot spots and the power ups right

do you have this? me fmt and dcx need another duuuuuude


I dunno about CPU assistance with humans, I don't feel like it's affected any of our games

me and DCX are gonna co-op right now against randoms if anyone wants in let me know
 
Yes, optionally.


I don't. I bought the disc version and I'm still sour about how poorly supported that was to trust them enough to buy the new edition.

Jeremy Lin is in this version does that tell you enough?
but yeah lol this is the version that would have made sense (not really) to charge disc price. but it's only 10 and you can get pretty much all the old players and mascots!

FMT, CB - I think for the NCAA league we should try LB/Safety only for the first season (maybe all of them).

It's time to take a bold new step in user defense

GAF needs a "like" button.

I say go one step further and make it LB mandatory, but I know you guys would never go for that. You can make up a stupid amount of ground with Safeties, really wish they would redo the momentum system.

Don't remind me, fukkkkkkkkkking Donny. He'll be a beast in Madden 14 though, or way after our franchise starts in M13.

Don't blame Donny for the Bears being shitty in the draft this year. Alshon is going to eat his way out of the league with his first pay check after he discovers Chicago deep dish. Shea Mc-whogivesafuck would be awesome in a 3-4 as an OLB, but he is gonna be forced to play DE where he will get mauled because he is 40 lbs undersized. And, not a single upgrade to the O-line. Just silly
