    There are a few problems with the new physics. One is running up the middle. So often you will just crash right into your guys and get stuck, infact on nearly all times you try to do it with your QB. Another problem is the tackles look horrendously ugly, people falling over eachother and body parts getting twisted way out of place.

    Just got called for an illegal forward pass, can't say I've ever seen that penalty in any madden.
    I do like the physics and mechanics though. It seems more lifelike/realistic. Had a guy really stretch out for a grab and even though he made it, he still lost his balance and fell over. Even little things like a half back losing his balance or stumbling if he gets knocked in the trenches.

    Yeah the new physics engine probably needs another version for them to iron out all the kinks but it's still a big improvement. Have seen RB's being tripped accidently by their own teammates. Funny when it happens to an opponent. Not so much when it happens to yourself.

    In the real nfl your rb can trip over a team mate! It's not perfect but it's what we got

    Pass interference maybe?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭BigBadRob83


    Could be man-handling a receiver past 5 yards

    *snigger* That's when the half back and a cheerleader... > _>

    There are 3 types of illegal touching. First is when a forward pass first touches an illegible reciever. Then you have when a member of the kicking team makes contact with the ball prior to the ball travelling 10 yards downfield. Last is when a member of the kicking team goes out of bounds, returns to the field and is the first to touch the ball.

    It's when you don't shout "surprise" before making contact!!!

    It was called against the CPU, their QB threw it to two open receivers in the end zone, I had a CB close but not close enough to stop them catching it, figured it was a TD till the whistle went and that pen was called against the offence!

    The WR may have stepped out of bounds and come back in.

    That's possible they were at the back of the end zone.

    There is a really terrible Jerry Sandusky joke to be made here.

    Just reading the manual there where it shows the teams profiles.On the Player Types & Value Ratings page do the stars represent how important that type of player is to the team scheme?
    Is that what the stars represent? there not for the players currently in the team


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,658 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    I think it represents the position rather than the player but not sure

    I have, managed to finally sort the skin tone issue out, and about 80% of the face looks great, but the eyes... For whatever reason I look like a zombie or I'm absolutely locked.

    Yeah I can't sort that out either. But it is great compared to last year.

    Anybody know which QB type you should pick if you want to be a scrambling QB? A field general maybe?
