How Madden could be better

Well i noticed somethings about Madden that are not fixed every year.One of them is immobile Quarterbacks moving outside of the pocket (Peyton Manning,Brad Johnson,ect). I would also like to know how many times I pressured a QB in superstar mode when I am a Dlinemen (that could be in the stat column). For QBs there should be a panic meter where every time they do get pressured and sacked the meter goes higher and high an when it reaches the top they start to (what else) panick. The QBs that do have happy feet should start to dance (P.Manning,Mcnabb,Bledsoe). The ones that dont shouldnt get them they should merly hurry throws or not panick at all (Brady,...,...,ect). So what do you think?

I always liked the 2k sports football games much better........😬 I'm still playing nfl 2k5 for the ps2 or x-box....😐

For one, they could actually put all the features in the 360 version. 😬

1. Game would suck if they're was an restriction to immobile QB's. Those QB's occassionally move outside the pocket.

2. In Madden 98, they did have that stat, but realistically, they're isnt an official stat in the NFL that counts for pressuring somebody.

3. Again, wouldnt be fun. Too realistic.

It's a game and they're some things in the game that have to be changed to make it fun.

I hadn't played madden in a bit cause my copy was all scratched up. That is what you get for having a puppy, but i had a gamefly coupon so i bought it again and started a franchise draft.

Picked up Matt Jones, the guy who was the QB at alabama and now is a wideout for the jaguars. He is really fast and has a great arm, and those stats are reflected in the game, but......

😠 HE NEVER CAN THROW THE BALL!!! 😠

made me so mad to find out that you can't switch other players to the QB position in the console versions of the last madden. I hope they fix it in the new one.

Why would you want Matt Jones to be your QB anyways?

is madden worth getting for the old xbox? ive never really played it before, but as far as sports games go i like games like winning eleven and pro evolution soccer.

should i buy it?

matt jones would be a bad QB. Second try going into the rosters and edit Matt Jones and change his position to QB

Madden's great game--especially if you haven't played it. It's good football game to learn on, and the controls feel natural. Anybody who has even a slight interest in the game can pick it up and be decent in a short time.
As far as the problems go, I think they've worked out most of the kinks by now, huh? I haven't even bought one since '94. Do they have create a player? If so, Smasandian, just create your own boss 1st round pick from whatever state you like...make him a great passer and scrambler. If they don't have it, keep trying or pick a better team and/or playa.
There's a way around that--I guarantee it.

I'm not the one who has the problem, but yes they have a create a player, I think since 98's version.

Good thing about Madden is that if you do an fantasy draft, who can still create your own player afterwords. Great feature. I hate in most games, you create your player before, so you have to draft him.

There are some things they could fix, like make truck stick a little less affective cause right now its too easy to dominate but other than that I ****in love that game

Why would matt jones be a bad QB? He was pretty good in college, and his madden stats are suited to a QB.

He's faster than vick in the game, would be fun to play with him.

Second, like i said in my post, the most recent madden on console does not let you switch any other postion to QB. Check it out, that is what i was saying sucks.

No opportunities for a guy like randle el to throw the ball.

Well, I cant tell you what his stats are but if thier in the 70's, that aint good.

And also, just because he played good in college does not mean he will be good in the NFL.

Speed of 93 and acceleration of 88, would make it fun to play with him at QB. It would just be a different offense, I wouldn't be throwing 50 yard passes, so his passing stats in the 70's would be more than sufficient.

anyway, the point has nothing to do with the merits of matt jones as a QB. My point was that it sucks that you can't switch any other players positions to QB in the last madden, and that i hope they change it in the next one

So why do you want him as your QB if you dont want to throw?

It does suck, but heck, it's an videogame.

LOL, the title of the thread is "how madden could be better"

I would still throw sometimes with him, mostly just run, with the running backs running paterns in the flats to dump it off to him.

i dont think it sucks at all because it would just make no sense to do. Madden trys to keep their game realistic. Tons of guys were good in college and couldnt even get to the NFL let alone be good in the NFL. If you want to be able to just juke and jive with a speedy guy and do arcady things play NFL Street or a Blitz game, its not what maddens about.

Just for reference his pass stats are 78 power, 70 accuracy, awareness 53 which is huge for this game.
Also he is not faster than Vick in the game:
Vick is speed 94, Agility 85, Accel 95
Jones is speed 93, agility 89, accel 88

This is all by the latest updates.

One final note, Matt Jones would be the WORST QB in the game based on his pass stats, Even the worst FA would be a better QB than he would.

we are doin a KMC fantasy football league, and need 1 more I figured this may be a good place to find someone. If your interested PM me asap.

Madden would be better if it didn't feature such a terrible sport.

and you might be better if you werent a closed minded deuche bag. Perhaps youd prefer a game where penalty kicks decide champions?
