I’m one of the few pocket passers in this game and i dont see why the WR’s get way more open if a QB runs out of the pocket every down. If anything their accuracy should decrease when they are on the run. I’ve lost games b cuzz the player would just run around 4 ever and kill my zone with hb flat routes where the safeties fail to play them. I hope DE awareness increased or they at least have a DE contain hot route.
Also on all madden does it still feel like the game makes you get sacked or throw an interception sometimes. I dont know if i’m the only one who feels that or not.
Thx for answering my other questions bro I’m so much more excited about superstar now.

pasta…i’ve suggested over on the OS boards to Iain/EA that they darken the route lines(as viewed during preplay) a bit, especially the yellow lines as they can get a bit tough to see against the field sometimes. in these videos, it appears they may have done so. did you notice any difference?

i ask because in the NCAA demo, some of the yellow route lines are tough to see against the field.

thanks.

[quote comment="26439"]One more thing have they fixed the QB AI on superstar? When I play HB the QB threw at least 5 or 6 picks a game and I was the back for guys like palmer and rothels berger it was really rediculous[/quote]

I only played a limited amount but both the QB decision making and the play calling seemed to have improved.

[quote comment="26436"]Hey PaStA have they added a button where you can just lower your head and drive your feet. When real life HB’s protect the ball they usually lower their heads and cover up the ball. Like you know to make the dives more realistic in short situations instead of just leaving their feet all the time to dive they should lower their head and push. I’m not really sure if you understand what I mean[/quote]

I don’t think the cover the ball function has changed.

Will Madden 09 have accessories like in NCAA Football 08 and 09 (QB Rib Protectors, smaller QB wristbands, different style Horse-Collars or Neck-Rolls)? I have seen these included on the new NCAA Football demo, just hoping that the Madden team included this.

Do you know how importing ncaa legend will work, and if we will be able to change the appearance of our superstar if it muffs the height/weight/race up?

Looks like they still haven’t fixed the footsliding with the quaterback sliding into center. Not a major deal but just one of the little things that needs to be touched up. Every year with the exception of last year you see the quaterback sliding into center. I don’t know why it’s so hard to fix that. It’s even more noticable in NCAA. Just one of my issues that I’ve complained about since making the switch to Next Gen, not trying to nitpick. Game looks great but I’m still waiting to see one of the more later builds to see if some of the issues have been corrected especially those excessive camera flashes. They should completely tone them down to maybe a hand full during a regular game & have them be excessive during the Super Bowl. That would add to making the Super Bowl feel important. I don’t know why EA didn’t think of that when they 1st came up with the idea of camera flashes. Seems like an obvious fix to me.
