No it doesnt, and for the life of me i dont know why . Yet another killer failure. Also i agree, id love to see me be able to set auto subs and it work correctly, as well as formation subs . Personally id like to see special teams be added to depth chart , let me select who is out there on kickoffs at least.

Yes. This is exactly the issue.

It's become nothing more than a group of grown men waiting on Santa Claus and playing nice all year to get the present of a free trip to Orlando.

The GC/CD program had its biggest impact on this game during the Madden 10 dev cycle, and after that it's been nothing but mere vanity and free publicity for Madden. And it's not because of the GCers/CDers themselves, but because internally developers on that staff honestly don't feel GCers/CDers add any real value to what they're doing (and I was told this in person many times by various staffers, but there was one or two public blowups online from staffers to that very effect as well). GCers/CDers are seen more like a necessary annoyance used to inject hype into the skeptical subgroup of the Madden fanbase (i.e the "sim community".

It also helps them a lot that pretty much none of the people they bring down understand game development, how a game is actually made, or a number of critical intricacies about the game of pro football, so it's easier to tell those guys B.S. and not have to deal with being questioned on it because they wouldn't know what to question in the first place. Some of the people who used to go that had this knowledge did question Tiburon staff and, surprise surprise, those guys didn't last in that program for very long; some left on their own when they realized it was bull, and others were simply blacklisted asap.

And the irony is, they have a "matchup stick" function, and yet you can't have any simple and deliberate control of your actual matchups in the way you're describing.

Gotta love it.

Lol! No, no, no, that is FAR from the truth, at least from my experience so far.

Well, that's your experience. Mine was different.

And I have a hard time believing much of anything has changed since the game still carries most of the exact same problems from that time. If these events are making a big difference, where is the evidence? It's surely not "In The Game".

It was Ian, I think, that told us why, because it didn't work properly due to some other underlining code issue, which they hadn't figured out. If I find it, I'll link it.

Also found this little bit, buried in a huge Q&A: whats the earliest time do you think we will see defensive assignments on next gen?
- Madden 2010. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-cummings.html
