Gamestop Madden Monday: Options on Demand

by
Posted April 28th, 2008 at 10:15 am

Continuing with their “Madden Mondays” blog feature for the third week in a row Gamestop has posted details on the picture-in-picture play call window. You can read the posting in full here.

To keep the game moving, the Options OnDemand PIP Play-call Window will streamline the flow of important information, like player and team stats, instant replay and even Madden Tips, which suggests a feature you haven’t used yet with a video tip explaining it. Think of it as the animated paper-clip thing from Microsoft Office, except it’s MADDEN! You’ll also be able to make substitutions right from the play-call screen or challenge a call with Coach Picture-in Picture.

The less time spent in a pause menu the better. It’ll be interesting to see it in action and how natural everything fits but it sounds like a positive addition. The overall presentation and game flow seem as though they have been heavily focused on for 09.

    It says 1st & 10 on “Pit 30″ meaning that Willie Parker would’ve had to run for a 70yd TD. They haven’t reached the Steeler logo at the 50 yard line. You can see that the play started from their own 30.

    I don’t know. I think they’re 3 different highlights of the drive to chose from
    1)1st & 10 on PIT 30
    2)Touchdown
    3)30 yd run by Willie Parker

    Usually it would say 30 yd TD run by Willie Parker.

    I really hope they bring in the advanced play clock. You know… the feature where after you pick the play the clock runs down to 16 seconds or so…

    it meant i could have realistic times in my games. I could actually play the real 15 minute games, and it made the stats look much more realistic in franchise mode.

    Do any of you guys remember this, and what it was called?

    But is it pre-snap where you can go and alter the line-up in your roster mode or before you play the game and set your line-up up. I dont won’t starters on the kickoff team. I want to be able to set up my own starters for certain formations.

    I’m loving the “coaches replay” for challenges. That’s one thing I’ve hated: not being able to view a replay before you challenge. Even one angle would be nice. Hopefully this works out well. I’m loving everything about this game so far.

    I believe it’s both. You should have the option to set your formation subs before starting a game, and make on-the-fly formation subs during the game without going into the menus.
