Can't wait to play you release week and drop Brady to Odell bombs backed up by a little Marcus Allen out of the backfield. Whats this? Gronk is motioning out wide to the slot! Then on defense dropping some hit sticks with Laywer Milloy.

Day one.

Don't you tell me my business again.
I can get draw plays to occasionally work against another player but never against the CPU. Any sort of misdirection or trick play never seems to trick the computer and it renders like 5-10% of your playbook useless.

What I usually do when I run draw is to make sure I'm in either a spread or trips formation and see if I have numbers in the box. If I see only 5 in the box then I run draw, but if there's 6 or more I audible to a different play that I believe will be successful against the defense that's on the field. Since I run the Run and Shoot offense I see a lot more Nickle, Dime, and Quarters coverages which makes reading defenses easy.

I'm still playing on the PS3 and slowly getting closer to an (almost) all Vikings team.

So do people still play Madden 08? I just heard about the modding community.

They do on PC, yeah, but it's a pretty small close knit community. And I mean, the game is super ghetto by today's standards, and getting the mods right is a pain, and getting the game to recognize controllers and stuff is also annoying.

Don't think so because as far as I know it's coming in a Day 0 patch. So it'll get probably get announced when they put up the notes for it.

Games have to go gold so that they can be physically printed and shipped out to stores ahead of the release date. Between the game going gold and the release date they usually get a patch together cleaning up some bugs and tweaking some things.

This, basically to get the thing certified by 1st party, Sony/MS, you have to have the game in a finished state on a certain date so they can take a look at it, find any issues and you have time to fix those Cert issues.

However that's still like a whole month and a half before release day, so while things are out for Cert you'll start another patch branch of development and start putting in things that might've been wishlisted in the list of fixes you're making for that patch.

Day 0 stuff is usually things we may know about but fixing them is too risky to get done by the deadline to get things off to 1st party, but with a month of development and QA time they can be done without many knock-ons

I definitely lost the first game I played online last week doing something like that, I had a free pick 6 and was gonna celebrate into the endzone but wasn't used to the controls yet so I hit L2 and Square instead of X by accident and dove down at like the 5 yard line and was downed, and then failed to convert the TD.

Skipped 16 but I'm back, playing last year in community downloaded roster land got pretty dark. When will the leagues start organizing? Wanna make sure I don't get stuck with the loving Chargers again.

Please tell me the menu lag is gone. I can't understand how that can be allowed to happen in a yearly release mega AAA title. Also the unskippable 20 second game breaks and turnover reviews for fucks sake why can't every sports franchise be MLB the Show

Speaking of can we get a non totally jank career mode... I'm a CB why am I calling the plays that is your job coach. Career mode really shouldn't be integrated into CFM it's kind of an integral part of any sports game and shouldn't be basically disabling some menu options and locking the camera and calling a day.

And where are we on the formation subs that were present in 2008 but apparently are too much to ask for

You can skip all gamebreaks and things like that, believe the only thing you can't skip which I'm not sure why is the intro for MUT games, but thankfully it's not very long.

Menu lag is gone as much as we can, but the problem is the powers that be really love to put in poo poo that doesn't really add anything but looks pretty. So it loves to cause the game to hitch while it's loading up all the stuff.

That's because people would pitch a fuckin fit if they couldn't pick plays and were instead forced with whatever the CPU picked.
