Madden 11 Strategy Pad Criticisms

Published July 29th, 2010 by GoMadden

A few days ago we reported on the Madden 11 strategy pad concerns that were raised by fans playing EA’s latest football video game demo, and while not everyone is in agreement on the changes, there has still been enough discussion to warrant a follow-up. In this case, we’ve decided to answer Ian Cummings‘ call for constructive criticism, in video letter intended specifically for him.

MAJOR UPDATE: EA has just announced they will make the strategy pad optional!

Madden 11 Strategy Pad Criticisms (Letter to Ian Cummings)

Video Letter Summary

If there is one thing fans can’t complain about in regards to the strategy pad, it’s that Creative Director Ian Cummings hasn’t been listening. In fact, over the last few days he has communicated with fans and taken messages on Twitter at a rate we would probably be best not to imagine. While a blog detailing the changes is expected to come soon in an attempt to quell knee-jerk concerns, I think there are some fundamental deficiencies to the strategy pad that warrant at least an option for players to revert to the old style.

However, if you’re worried that you can’t become proficient with the strategy pad, then you shouldn’t be. With practice, there is no doubt the strategy pad can become second nature as it enters your muscle memory. But I think there are some issues with the system that go beyond simply becoming more familiar with it. Yes, you can accustom yourself enough to the strategy pad, and enjoy your game just fine. However for veteran players, it’s going to be a rough go knowing that there was a faster, more comfortable and less tedious system available, that can no longer be used.

Do you like the Strategy Pad?
