The smartest thing the designers did, though, was leave a one-button exit from GameFlow, so that at any time, you can simply hit X and call your own play like in the old days. So if you want, you can follow the computer's advice on offense all the way down the field, but if you're in a tough spot or have an idea of a call you'd rather make, you can hit a button, call your own play and jump right back into the action without having to pause the game and find the correct screen.
Next play, you're right back to GameFlow, or, if you wish, you can hit X again and take control for a second straight play. Although "Madden NFL 10" featured close to plays per team playbook, EA Sports' research showed that the average user was calling only about 13 different plays per game. Those weren't the minimum numbers. So when we started talking to players and coaches from around the league, we realized that this new method was a lot more authentic to how plays are called in the NFL.
Each play call is situation-based, and if you're hard-core into the X's and O's, you can go into the playbook and swap in up to 15 plays per situation, weighting them for the frequency you'd prefer the coaches to select. During two-player games, the offensive coordinator breaks down the play in one headset, while the guy on defense hears the defensive calls, but no play art is shown for the obvious reason that it would spoil what you're about to do.
Other than that, everything before the play remains the same, as you still can call audibles and hot routes if you don't like the play once everyone is lined up. He's telling you how the receiver is going to break across the middle, and you need to get him the ball. If you've played games of 'Madden' in the past, you were in for a marathon, and it can be tough on people to devote an hour of their time to playing a single game.
Now you can play two games in the time it used to take to play one. And the focus for us is that it's easy, it's authentic and it's as deep as you want it to be. Once the play is called, football fans will recognize immediately that the game they've grown up mastering has completely changed in terms of player control, speed, acceleration and movement.
These changes have made every aspect feel like a completely different experience. No longer is it about the guy with 99 speed. Now players with high agility will be able to cut better and take better angles to get to the ball. Players with high acceleration, such as Chris Johnson, will be able to burst through a hole that a guy like LenDale White will watch close before his virtual eyes.
In addition, although all movement, acceleration and turning is based off left-stick movement, all offensive moves have now been mapped to the right analog stick, enabling ball carriers to juke, high step, truck and spin as gamers flick the stick in different directions.
This also enables runners to combine moves, as gamers might juke right, spin back left, then high-step over the outstretched arms of a defender.
I took Reggie Bush for a spin through practice mode and found it a really fun, fresh way to stutter-step, spin and speed past the D. Just don't get too happy, as with all the advanced body control comes the danger of leaning forward too much and falling flat on your face mask instead of rumbling for the first down. That's right, turbo is gone, so now it's up to the speed and acceleration ratings of each player to blaze down the field, not some imaginary higher gear. However, if you really want it, you can go into the options menu and turn it back on.
You can chain together moves like a stutter to a spin to a juke, then lower your shoulder as you try to get that extra yard. Now you don't need to hit four different buttons with a turbo modifier to perform these moves. It's a lot easier to use, and at the same time, it looks a lot more like you see when you're watching the NFL for real. Another way EA Sports is trying to make everything appear more authentic is a serious upgrade to the game's presentation, including a lot of new cut scenes, from showing Drew Brees in the locker room before the game to Peyton Manning walking off the team bus in the parking lot.
These scenes also include plenty of shots of the superstars without their helmets, as EA Sports is trying to showcase all the new heads and faces in the game thanks to an upgraded scanning technology that originated in EA Canada. It spits out the results of a head scan, but it focuses on the texture as well. Unanswered How do you change your jersey number?
