QB slide option, kicking controlls.
For QB slide in 07 go to controller config, select the rushing category. Change from config1 to custom. Remap dive to another button (I remapped it to 2). Then map it back. Your QB should now slide.
Just my opinion but as far as the kicking controls, I prefer the two button only because the analog makes it way too easy to make FGs in 08. With the two button method, I find my thumb can get a little twitchy kicking an important FG. In 08, FG's are a guarantee unless its windy or beyond 55 yards.
Madden's from 04 thru 08 all have their good and bad moments.
I've been playing 04 a lot lately but after reading this thread I'm going to give 07 another go since my 04 franny just crashed on me.
Thanks for the tip on sliding LawDawg. When you say the slide should work once you have remapped the dive button, do you mean the qb slide will now work when you tap or will the dive button execute a QB slide regardless of how you tap it?
I think you probably have a good point regarding the 2 button field goals. It is a greater challange. I might go try it out again.
I am going to try out 05 again as well, see how it plays without all the offensive extras.
