#MADDEN 08 PC SLIDERS UPDATE#

There are still some original issues glaring that I believe have been addressed in this version 4. The coverage is better, the overall focus to get upfield is in a better spot.

#MADDEN 08 PC SLIDERS UPDATE#

The title update #3 really changed things – and for the better. Overall, though, the game plays really good as a base, and I’ll explain my changes, or lack of, in the descriptions. The good thing is that Madden 21 does a pretty good job, even if it still performs primarily two-man animations, which considering where we are now in video games, you would think physics based gang-tackling would already be here. This makes testing take much longer because I have to see the same scenarios multiple times and in different context, such as player fatigue, player ratings and match ups, etc. So, I go through that process of ensuring the games I play have the proper animations playing out. If the warping happens, I want to find out why and how it can be isolated to ensure it doesn’t trigger again. For example, if a corner is lagging behind on a slant route, I do not want to see him warping to make the play I’d rather see a dive animation attempting a pass deflection. The goal here is to ensure that I’m letting proper animations play out from the contextual library. Madden’s animations are some of the best, but when it’s bad…it’s really bad. I’ve said it before, and not long ago, but animations is the confirmation of logic. I could say it’s Madden 20.5 as even Madden 20 was pretty close, but just missing some basic elements such as QB’s being more active in the pocket and more realistic pass deflections.Īs always, I am focused on animations. It has been the closest representation of what I look for in a football game. Which is why I was quite surprised with this year’s version of Madden. Each year it becomes more difficult, and each year it takes more and more effort to find a proper balance. Like a lot of slider enthusiasts, I’m of an old school nature in trying to bridge the gap of Esports base gameplay to more simulation/realistic.

Matt10 came out with a new set of sliders following the latest title update, so I’ll let him explain how he feels about Madden this year before going into detail about what has changed now in version 4.0. I know Mike Lowe and myself have similar sensibilities about wanting to try playing on broadcast cam etc.

One thing that’s also important when trying out sliders is seeing if you vibe with the slider maker. We just posted Mike Lowe’s All-Madden sliders, and Matt10 is another very popular sliders creator on OS who generally modifies and updates Madden 21 gameplay sliders throughout the year.
