Another thing we added this year is the ability to adjust the shading of your defensive backs on receivers. Now you can play press on an individual receiver on a play as opposed to playing press on everybody. You can also have a defender shade inside or outside of the receiver depending on whether you press shade left or shade right. Or you can just back one guy off and give him extra space. We give you a lot of options, and while some of these might sound like small features, with our goal to be true to the game and true to the NFL, we want to make sure we're giving our "Madden" fans ultra-fine control over our defense this year. It has been a while since some of these features have been in our game and we're glad to finally have them back.

WERE BACK IN BUSINESS FOLKS!!!!!

As long as they keep the Madden 10 pre-snap adjustment system, we should be good

honestly I wouldnt be opposed to HAVING to use the strat pad as long as they add more pre snap adjustments in the game. The pad gives soooo much more room for new additions...but thats neither here nor there



IM PUMPED!!!!

D@mn..didn't think about it like that. That would take some adjusting

strat pad is only good for sim players, it will never be quick eough for tournament players

Jon Robinson: Custom playbooks have also finally been added to the game this year. How big can my playbook get?



Phil Frazier: You can have up to 400 plays and up to 75 individual sets in your custom playbook. You can also have up to eight custom playbooks saved. And with 400 plays, I don't think our fans and our community are going to have any problem filling out a playbook.



Im thinking the pump fake will be glitchy, pump faking toward one wr.

I read somewhere (not sure of the exact article, soooo much info coming out today) That the more the pump fake is used the less effective it becomes......Hopefully it ends up like that

idk i read on all pro and all madden it becomes more effective than rookie or pro skill level.

no no no, it becomes harder the higher the difficulty

: The impact of zone coverage will be dramatic. This is the most improved aspect of defense. When you play "Madden 11," a lot of patterns are wide open in different coverages. For example, a curl flat pattern versus a Cover 2 would see your outside linebacker in the zone never getting over to get underneath that hook route, but now he gets over and takes that route away. Same thing with the flats. The zones never played the flats very aggressively, but now the defense will play aggressive and get to their spots quicker. And now if you're playing Cover 3 and your opponent goes with four verticals, you'll see that safety run up and snatch those seam routes if they don't throw it early enough. We also worked on Cover 4 so that the safeties accurately read the field now. If a guy on the outside is running deep and they don't have anyone in their quadrant, they will go and double. Or if a post route is coming from the outside, they will go and double as long as they don't have another threat coming from their quadrant. It's really dynamic reaction on the part of the defenders.


JIZZ

wow.. i'm really effin pumped now!

It's going to be a GREAT madden year

its a shame the game looks like 11 but aslong as the gameplay is better it wont bug me so much

God I wish this was an option smh

might not get m12, goin to Kosovo lol
