In a blog update on easports.com, the Creative Director of Madden NFL 11, Ian Cummings, reveals that while "Strategy Pad" will remain in the game for Madden 11, the former method of pre-snap controls would be an option that gamers can select once a patch is made available post-release.
We do believe that this change [Strategy Pad] is for the better, and that in the long run it delivers a much more positive experience to the gamers that are willing to try and adapt. Due to the overwhelming feedback however, we will be providing the old-style button commands as an option that can be enabled. We are currently targeting this change to be released around the first week of the NFL season as it will take some time to get through third party approvals.
Welcome news and thanks goes out to EA for listening and acting upon the feedback they had received. |
