Madden 13 retail : Taking questions and video requests

[TeamBuilder]

Hi RynoAid,

I noticed that when changing a team's depth chart, players that play defensive line and linebackers can be moved around to various positions with a drop in their awareness.

However, the same can't be said for safties and halfbacks/fullbacks (they receive drops in awareness if moved), will this or can this be patched?

Have you seen any games or stadiums where the lighting looks as dark as the Redskins/Seahawks game in the demo? Because that was a sunny day but seemed overly shadowy to me.

Regarding lighting, just trying to help:

If you load the demo of Redskins/Seahawks, you'll notice that during the quarters you're heading in the direction of the sun you cannot tell the difference between the teams' jerseys.

Thanks for the reply, I was only kidding Thank you for taking the time to do this for all of us Madden fans that have to wait two whole weeks for the game to drop.

It is fixed with shifts, but can you do show blitz back and forth really fast? If not then, that will be the next resort.

Is the hitch step by corner backs in the retail version. I don't like running man coverage with the slot WR running a corner route because the CB covering has a "hitch step" or back up motion on the cut to the corner, which leaves that WR wide open. Is that in the retail?

Is there more weight to the players in default speed when it comes to cutting in the retail? 1. Also, I would like to know about the tacking in All-Madden. When Helu gets going in the demo, he's damn near unstoppable, bouncing off of tackles left and right. 2. How is the run defense on All-Madden, specifically linebackers controlling their gaps on power and counter plays? In the demo, there are still those big false steps when the counter is run where the linebackers take themselves out of the play, and on the power plays, I noticed the outside 4-3 linebacker not consistently getting to the C gap. 3. The linebacker reactions are still not reliable on draw plays. They still bail too early in zone defenses and don't react to the back until he is pass the line of scrimmage. Is this tuned better in the retail? 4. Is the 4 man pressure more consistent? I noticed more production from the left end (Tuck) the more I played, but the right end (JPP) was pretty incognito for the most part. Thanks for taking the time.

I don't and never have liked the linebacker play. Still leaves a lot to be desired. Per the four man pressure the one thing I noticed in the demo is RT's are getting owned. I had 4 sacks with Kerrigan, under user control and breaking the block and just getting to the QB. I only get one with Orakpo. The same thing happens when I play with the 49ers. I get two or more with Brooks, not much with Smith.

Shouldn't really be that hard for him to do. Fire up the demo. Look at how dark it is. Fire up the retail version. Play a game at the same time of day. Is it or is it not as dark? If they're the same and they look fine to you (Ryno)........ Well, you must have had some sort of super light filtering lasik surgery. It's darn near impossible to see in the demo.

Thanks for supporting the community Ryno!

I got a question you should be able to answer pretty easy.

Is the IE engine better currently from what you played at CD?

Is the IE engine affecting the players in the same regard to how it did in CD or did they lower the impact some?

Interested to know how much the IE has changed since CD

The colors look great.. not seeing any "washed out" type effects. This is on XBOX
