Haha. That's what I'm referring to when I said the DBs sometimes get frozen when the ball is in the air.

Actually that was user error.

My bud and I were playing our first game last night. You know how you sometimes switch to a defender without touching the sticks until the ball gets close? He switched and brushed the stick enough that the cpu gave him control, which caused the player to stop dead in his tracks.

I have a couple of friends at home who have it for the ps3 and keep telling me to get it so we can play online. Is the online play good on the ps3, or is it laggy and end up crashing alot?
It has been good for PS3 so far. At first, we couldn't send friend invites, but they got that straightened out. Not sure if the lobbies are back up or not. So far, I give the online play an A+. Very little lag. Certainly nothing as horrible as last year's, when changing your depth chart required the patience of a monk.

I use the wireless and its not too bad. But when i hook it up directly to a modem it is very good.

Plus you don't have to pay to use online for PS3 like you do for XBOX

you can buy a 360 or ps3 for madden or Guitar Hero 4. Hotel California is including in the set list.

I say yes.

But that's the only reason I have a PS3 - to play madden.

And call of duty 4.

And MLB 08 the show.

And metal gear solid.

Or whatever....I <heart> gamefly.
The Show is amazing!
 
Ok so I just purchased a 360 and bought Madden. It has been a few years since I played Madden and that was with PS2.

I've gotten everything pretty much down except running. I can't do it at all. Any advice.

  1. Patience - don't speed burst until you're in the open, be sure to follow your blocks;
  2. The new animation system in this year's game requires a different approach to running the ball:

Our animation director Simon put this down in another post and I thought people should see it as they're getting the game (as honestly the running game on All-Madden can be extremely tough without using the feature):


The suggestion I have from seeing a lot of the online vids people are posting from the demo or from early releases we have given to press people is that a lot of people are just used to "dropping control" once they are hit. So they don't even try to break the tackles. You need to break them yourself now. Know your back, know if he is elusive or power, if elusive then juke and spin your way out of tackles, if he is power back truck your way through (you can also stiff arm). You won't be breaking tackles otherwise, no more roll of dice broken tackles, you have to break them. If you fail to break it, you will still see your back try (that's how I know on the vids that people just aren't trying to break tackles enough).



This definitely can take some getting used to...I had to spend a bit of time in practice first to get the hang of it.

How do you stiff arm on 360?

Are any of you guys having problems with the EA servers? It takes me about 2 minutes to ever log on, and then it seems everything is slow. I can't ever start a quick match, it takes incredibly long, stuff seems to freeze up. Is it just me or are there problems? I havent been able to play a single game online.

Ea's servers have always always been crap
 
OK whats the deal with the screw jobs on the challenges?

I've been beatin and tottally screwed by my opponent literally walking out of bounds while making the catch and they say it was in bounds.

What in the heck.

Play vs Denver if you want to run the ball. I live there so all my buddies use the Broncos and they cant stop MBIII to save their lives. :laugh2:

I didn't and dont have the issue with NCAA though..

Me either, NCAA09 plays pretty good online.

What is up with the kickoff and punt coverage in that game it is ridiculous.
