QUESTIONS FOR EA AS REQUESTED-noflaming, just direct questions/issues please

Ian, you think it's fair that when I play online that I can substitute in my fastest Cornerback (such as Cromartie or Champ Bailey) in at WR to give myself a plethora of weapons on offense?

Didn't Champ Bailey dabble at WR when he was younger?

It might not be fair, but it's realistic. I'd imagine they're just as difficult to cover as the speedsters at WR (i'm looking at you Johnny Knox).

Man, this "intern" sure takes a long time to organize some questions. I'd be more than willing to help, and i'm sure I could have a list of all the unique Q's in this thread in about 2 hours.
1) How come it seems like the stats and halftime highlights are in fast forward on some games?

My question is just a slider/settings question, which may be one of those 1-guy only questions, but I seriously just would like to know...

Devs said that on All-Pro and All-Madden that if the Speed Diff setting was at '50', then the speeds of the players on the field were to match the actual speeds without unrealistic 40-yard dash times for the slowest players. But on Rookie and Pro, there would be much more of a difference. I want the realistic Speed Diffs, but I use Custom settings. My Custom settings make my Pass, Rush, Pass Def and Rush Def either 11 or 12 overall. So, what should the Speed Diff slider be set at to get realistic speeds as the All-Pro and All-Madden settings are set at?

How does the game decide who makes the Hall of Fame? (It looks like # of SB appearances is not a factor)

How does the game decide which play makes it has a highlight? (IOW why do I see a 4 yd run instead of a 20 yd td pass?)

As an aside, I hope in Madden 11 at the very least the replays are in chronological order.

I guees I need to bump this again.
It seems this thread will be lost in obscurity before our helpful EA intern gets their act together.

Is it possible for a new, drafted player to NEVER progress? I just drafted a QB who had a 79 OVR and with B rating. I started him (he had better overall accuracy attributes than my current qb, who is around 86 OVR). He ended up with 3500+ yds, 30+ tds, 13ish ints, and didn't progress at all. I

Now I don't really need or want him to progress too much (he gets the job done, and he'll come cheap ) but I was really shocked.

Also, is there a reason why, under "depth chart" the third WR is considered a starter, but the second MLB is considered second string?

I didn't see this mentioned.

Why can't I Config. Controller buttons on PS3? Not sure if its on 360. This is a 1st for me, all other Maddens would let you configure.

I don't like the fact that I use a D-lineman to get off a block and b/c the R3 is the same as the hit-stick, I get the hit stick animation and that leads to the qb ridding the ball right away.

Or at least move the d-lineman blk shedding moves to buttons again(ex. L1 & R1).

Also I would like to see a few game highlights on those games in Extra Point

Thanks Ian!
