MADDEN DEEP DIVE: GAMEPLAY AND REAL PLAYER MOTION

quote:

Cover 4 – We have two new versions of Cover 4 (Quarters and Palms). Quarters and Palms are commonly referred to as “Man Match” defenses, which simply means the defenders in coverage can match up and play man-to-man. Both coverage concepts are similar but with two key differences.

Against a formation where a slot receiver is present, and if the slot receiver runs a quick out, the defense in Cover 4 Quarters will handle this route with the “Quarter Flat” player. In the same scenario with Cover 4 Palms, the defense will handle this route with the cornerback who’s playing “Outside Quarter.” In a sense, the coverage plays like a Cover 2.

EX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYJo1KADZ2I

quote:

New Plays – The defensive theme continues as we’ve added a new defensive formation called “Big Nickel Over G.” This formation uses 4-2-5 personnel which is (four down linemen, two linebackers, and five defensive backs). Three of the defensive backs are safeties, thus the name Big Nickel. The formation contains new plays and coverage concepts.

None of that sounds bad but it's meaningless without being able to see in action.

Here's a bit more on franchise. There are a lot of positive changes in here that I think will make the game more fun but I definitely hope this isn't all we're getting.

So there was nothing new in the deep dive. I dunno... Without the ability to renegotiate contracts offline franchise will still only last 5 years before every cpu team is well above the cap.

I played some mut while doing laundry this weekend and there was some dumb youtuber video in that section where a guy talked about some new stuff.

All I remember is that there's gonna be a vs. CPU squads section where you can co-op vs. different CPU teams, and some sort of weekend-league-ish vs. CPU thing where you get a limited amount of tries to beat different CPU teams and some of them are copies of famous people's teams and your W/L and how difficult each team was makes a "battle score" at the end and gives you a prize.

Also there's a new currency called "training" for upgrading cards that seems to replace most of the bullshit involved in upgrading cards (still looked like you have to buy/pull/earn certain copies to get over a certain OVR or something though). Basically seems like if you spend training you can keep certain guys relevant as you improve. You can also cash them all in to get most of your training points back if you want to kill a card but it'll cost you a percentage or something. More customization for cards as you upgrade them like choosing which of their former teams they get a boost for.

MUT is still cancer that you shouldn't play.

Yeah I did 5 of them fairly easy and without doing any of the solos. I could probably do a couple more if I sold the 800+ items in my binder, but that's too much effort.

I was in the beta. You do not want to play franchise right now, they fundamentally broke progression at it’s core amd I have a suspicion there may be poo poo getting rolled back because of how much they broke it.
