showtime Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 When you play as a QB, you can now press a button that takes away the passing icons of all your receivers, so now the QB has access to all of the regular ball carrying moves - spins, jukes, etc while in the backfield to avoid pressure sacks or to run with the ball. And at anytime, you can push that button again to bring up all the receiving icons. That makes QB's like Cam, Wilson, Lamar Jackson, etc so much more better and the game should be much more fluid for QB's who like to scramble. They also said you can now pump fake it to a specific receiver by double pressing the button and you can also bring throws back down if you think you made a poor decision. Cool stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I was expecting big things for the 20th edition of Madden this century... but this release feels as mellow as Madden 19. When are we gonna get a new gameplay engine/gameplay overhaul? When are we gonna get a new franchise mode built from scratch, as the current one has been awful since like Madden 07. When will we get ESPN NFL 2K style presentation? All so frustrating. I’ll probably get the game with my cash back rewards, but man, highly disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Looks like I’ll skip it again this year. Same old crap. Robotic animations. Everyone looks like they’re constantly about to trip. Bringing back old features that were taken out years ago. Come on 2K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if you're already complaining this much and the game hasn't even come out yet, why would you even consider using your rewards to get it over something else? Doesn't make sense to me.

I'm giving an opinion on what EA needs to do and things that have been overdue for ages. It is an opinion, one you don't have to listen to or quote every. single. time.

I was just wondering why someone who clearly doesn't like the game and complains about the game continues to support the game. That's is backwards to me. MLB The Show is a great game, but I don't play much on the PS4. There are alternatives on the Xbox, but they suck.... so I don't play them. I really enjoy baseball games, so I've tried out RBI Baseball (or whatever it's called) on the Xbox when I went to a friends house and the game so bad and lacks TONS of basic features. It's just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love football, love watching football, love playing football, love playing games that are football. Just we don't have any alternatives to Madden here.

showtime Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 So, this game will have speech-to-text. Obviously will be a feature that many will turn off, but it's really cool to see it in a game since there are some people who need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Some people are complaining about that "X" under the superstar players and I can see where they're coming from. But it's probably a way to keep track of where certain players are. So in the picture, you'd always be able to find where Travis Kelce is at all times. I'm assuming Tyreek Hill also would have that "X" under his player as well. This will help people be able to identify the opposing teams most dangerous weapons very quickly and adjust their defense as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at that picture, there's someone in the Patriots secondary that has one. I'm assuming that Stephon Gilmore. Some people that don't like it are talking more about how it looks aesthetically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Look at this clip from the EA Play session today. Some of the skills Mahomes have are insane and some of them are exclusive only to him. Look at that cut he makes to avoid the sack at 1:09 in the video. My God lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move your best WR and their star CB doesn't follow him, there should be a way to see that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 From what I've seen so far, the Superstar x-factor traits look good. There's no way to tell how many guys around the league will have them, but it helps elite players stand out even more. It's also interesting because from the very little I've seen so far, it appears they tried to build that system where defenders can counter offensive players and vice versa. For example, Mahomes' traits are Godly, but if you read them, they can be canceled out by being under pressure or by throwing the ball low or high. Players like Aaron Donald, Von Miller, etc have traits that allow them to get QB pressures even when blocked (by pushing the offensive lineman toward the QB). I like the sound of this stuff so far.

The X means that the player is in the zone and their X factor ability is active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
