------8/5 Online impressions--------------------------
Only so much to report after 1 game. and there is nobody else with the game right now so this is all i can report.
* -roster update when you start
* -no alternate jerseys online
* -you can play for a trophy. basically bet on trophy
* -rings transfer over online
* -i had a 3-7 record despite not playing a single game
* -something frustrating on 4th down it defaults to ask madden punt block and youd ont have time to get to regular punt return. so the play clock ends and it put me in dime.
* -hb pass in bears playbook. its not cheesy like in ps2/xbox. since your throwing with a rb it shows. I'd like to see how this works with LT and not Benson lol.
* -online challenge this year. CPU reviewed the fumble inside 2 mins. play reversed.
* -after the game it shows trophy history and how many times its been on the line. so if you played someone else, it'll show who else you played it against with it on the line
* -The game was laggy. But as a disclaimer ALL games i've ever played with rac on next gen have been laggy. I'll have to play someone else like Pasta who i've never had laggy games with before i say completely this game is laggy.
* -the weather was clear and sunny. not sure if it'll always be that way.
* -After the game went to check gamecast and still nothing in that menu. Not really sure what that is at this point.
* -Ranked games are only All-Pro 5 mins.
I asked about depth chart lag:
yup lag in the depth chart menus too. it sucked.
Regarding not enough time to choose plays on defense:
ya you have to hurry the hell up lol. Also, if i zoom out when im on offense to do my hot routes or whatever the opponent cant change the defender he wants to be until i zoom back in.
If Madden is as bad as NCAA's online experience I'm going to be really upset. I was all over NCAA for that and thats a game I had only intended to play for a month. So this would be even worse. I'm sick and tired of these problems. The patch last year fixed online lag for the 360, why would it be back again??? Even just imagining playing laggy Madden games again irritates me lol.
