Re: Playbook Merger Doesn't Work

It only runs on 32 bit system. I still have an old PC at work, so if you send me your playbooks, I can merge them for you.

Re: Kick Returners in Madden 08 for PC

Nice! In my experience, kick returning formation and blocking personal made a far bigger difference to return performance than the dude catching the ball. So long as he was quick (SPD, ACC), it didn't really matter who it was. I could return a kick every game if I wanted to, but adjusting formations...

Re: A strategy on returning punts for TD (3 attached)

Changing the return formations to block better makes a big difference too, but that's probably cheating a bit. I had a guy return a kick off every game and a punt every other game for a whole season just from changing the blocking. It was unreal

Re: Some game mechanic findings

- O Line moves 2: Probably common knowledge but Right stick up is a power shove. While not as high percentage as the other move, it's a great way to take out defenders and get lots of pancake stats, which as far as I can tell, is what determines OL progression. I'd say this is most useful for pulli...

Re: Some game mechanic findings

I did notice that passblocking progresses more than runblocking, are you sure it's because he's in the early stage of his career? So yeah, try to find the guys that already have a good runblocking and STR stat. But TBH, I thought it was because of the blocking stats they put up, not so much how far...

Re: Players Roles&Weapons Assignment

Just wondering if roles actually have any effect on gameplay or are they just a representation of underlying stats?

Like does heavy hitter actually cause more fumbles? Are deep threat receivers actually faster?

Re: Some game mechanic findings

Thanks for your input! Anything else you can add would be great. Some of my comments on this: That move is, effectively, a hold. You can execute it when you are a blocker, and it pretty much takes down whoever you are engaged. However, it will get you called for holding eventually. I haven't noticed...

Re: Calhoupe's Madden Scripts - WAY too many muffed punts

Are you manually moving your Kick Returner to catch the ball? Sometimes if you're slightly off, he'll muff it. I usually let them do the catching and takeover the return after that. Also, while Calhoupe is here: Have you heard of any problems with the new moves from your script: Dpad + Right analog ...

Some game mechanic findings

I just wanted to share various game mechanics that I haven't see posted here before: - Agility alone doesn't determine the break tackle animations an RB uses. It's a combination of Agility, Break Tackle and Weight/Height ratio. Bigger (250+) RB's just run over people even with 99 agility and BTK, sm...
