Madden Community Event set for August 9th
August 2, 2007 by pastapadre
The Madden 08 Community Event will officially take place August 8-10th at the Tiburon studio in Orlando. The time with the game will be spent on Thursday the 9th as the other two are travel days. For myself that accounts for a big chunk of time considering there couldn't be much further of a flight within the contiguous states than Seattle to Orlando while connecting through California.
As opposed to past community events where there was more significant amount of time before the release of the game, this one comes only days before Madden hits stores.
As usual I will put out as much info as possible on my experience with the game while I am there. However I won't do as much in terms of looking for specific things or answering questions about the game based off the event. I'm going to try and just get as much time in playing the game to give a general overview and impressions. I hope to have my copy of the game with me as I head home, so once I get back I can get more into the Q&A, screenshots and videos, and Superstar mode type of content I generally produce with early copies. It doesn't make much sense to spend the time while I am at the studio doing the things that will be much easier once I return home and work through the following Monday heading up to the game's release.
Feel free though to leave any comments regarding gameplay that you are interested in. If I come across them I'll go ahead and address them in my reports from the event. For other questions or topics such as online, player ratings, and various requests I will have dedicated posts for once I have the game in hand.
EA has done a great job this year bringing out info on the games…blogs, Vids, interviews, etc, so I don’t have many Question for you. Here are a few I haven’t seen explained.
I’m an Online guy so any info there is nice
How is Madden handling the suspended players, Pacman, Vick…etc?
Receiver spotlight is new, how does that feel?
In general are penalties called more…last year I had like 4 clipping calls in like 1000 games, thats it no holding….just running into the kicker was practically the only thing called
Are you able to assign a certain D players to specific WR’s and TE’s. Will your setting made offline carry over to online? Will you actually be able to play cover2, cover3, cover4 like 2k8 or are they worthless again.
To me Fantasy draft makes or breaks madden for me. I know madden for the 360 will have it, but my question is “Is it like old gen where its just a big draft of all players or is it some kind of other funky thing” Only reason i ask is when they talk about it its kinda confusing and im not sure if its really just like the season with the draft or something else.
I want ot know if the presentation will be good I hated 07 when you won the Super Bowl. I got nothing it was like a piece of dry toast.
Pasta if you could just decribe the differences between the 2 games (NCAA08 & Madden08). Or do they play alike?
Whats different gameplay wise on Madden.
Hey, just want to know if it´s possible to play Co-op on one Team again and if anything changed in Superstar Mode except the Camera-Angles!
Fred confirmed 2 player co-op but the big question is can 3-4 all play on the same team??? Pasta if you can find that one out I’d really appreciate it. Thanks
