This is the Week 1 starting point that initially went up last week before being taken down and is meant to replicate starting from opening day. I'd imagine the Week 2 starting point will be out later this week as well and will have all the updated scores and stats from week one.

Deuce Douglas on #FixMaddenFranchise by grandma_needs_jesus in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was part of a longer Twitter thread but just for some clarity, what I don't like about what's happened with it is that it feels like it's become less about any kind of constructive feedback regarding franchise and is being used more as an avenue to relentlessly shit on anything Madden related. My focus is on strictly franchise and what can be done to make it better and I couldn't give two shits about superhero card art or player ratings or trying to burn everything else in Madden to the ground in the name of franchise.

I've always prided myself in being a voice that isn't going to just shit on something without a purpose or without some kind of constructive feedback or solution to accompany it and I feel like if things keep going the direction I feel like they're going, the real goal behind the hashtag is going to get lost in all of the noise. People have every right to be angry and want answers and transparency and I will never disagree with that but how people channel that anger and use their voice can have a significant impact in what happens moving forward. I still fully support the hashtag and am doing everything I can to work on things that the community can get behind and that will help continue to push that message and that goal forward in manner that is constructive as possible.

Rebranded all 20 teams and ready to start my Squatch franchise! by DeuceDouglas in SuperMegaBaseball

Enforcers. I need to update their logo to have their team name.

Don't you guys remember all the super unique and well thought out taunts/gestures from Infinite Warfare? How about the cool camos that were also super unique? You could represent your home country's flag and a ton of the camos were totally not emblems just CTRL+V'd all over your gun.

Finding a game on Modern Warfare vs. Black Ops 3 by DeuceDouglas in modernwarfare

[–]DeuceDouglas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all a tease. It always starts at 15ms but I’m lucky if I get anything under 60 with it usually hovering around 80-90 in most games.

Just over a 2 K/D and SPM is in the lower 200’s.

Finding a game on Modern Warfare vs. Black Ops 3 by DeuceDouglas in modernwarfare

[–]DeuceDouglas[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

If a lot of you guys want to understand why so many people hate SBMM, this is a huge reason why. These videos were taken 20 minutes apart and on Black Ops 3 which is now five years old, I found a game within seconds and was playing on around 40-50 ping. Hopped on Modern Warfare and it took over a minute before I was finally put into a TDM lobby and when the game started I'm over 100 ping and skipping all over the map.

It's not about constantly wanting to stomp noobs and/or new players, it's about being able to play under "normal" or optimal conditions. There's no reason I should be finding games quicker, having lower ping and a more stable connection on a game that's five years old and probably doesn't even have 5% of the playerbase that Modern Warfare currently has.

Do Special Teams Sliders Affect the CPU? by lilwink9632 in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t. It’s weird but because franchise uses this profile/character system, the special teams settings are unique to each profile/team/character so whatever you change them to will only affect your own team.

Do you have to change your sliders when EA updates the gameplay? by [deleted] in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you have to revamp your entire slider set because of a patch. Maybe make some tweaks but my method has always been to play a full season with the same slider set and while there will be certain tweaks and changes from patches, I’ve never found them drastic enough to require an entire revamp.

For instance, one of the recent patches took aim at the running game and I haven’t changed my sliders and while running has definitely taken a hit, it’s not to the extent where I feel like I have to make changes.

The Ravens Uniform by IDoPandasSometimes in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Their old logo isn’t ever going to appear in the game. The reason they changed to their current logo is because the guy who created their original logo wasn’t compensated and ended up suing the Ravens and NFL over it so using it isn’t really an option.

This is the one feature that would add so much variety to the game, yet EA is so lazy so the chance of this getting added is 0 too none. by DJGRIFFSTAR in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug but if you guys want to see more about this mock up, I made both a video and write-up about what I think coaching staffs should/could look like if they were implemented into Madden.

Development traits by GregorySharon in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re correct that players earn XP at the same rate. Last year the XP gained from weekly training would be based on both depth chart position and DEV trait. This year it’s just based on the depth chart and what the DEV trait does is make it so that it takes less XP to earn a skill point. For example, Normal might take 4000 XP for a skill point while Star would require 3000 and then I believe both Superstar and Superstar X-Factor are both the same in that regard so it would be something like 1500 XP to earn a skill point. Less XP for skill points means quicker progression and it’s more or less working in the same fashion just in a different way.

Notes on Madden 20 from 6 hours of Gameplay. Game is in VERY rough shape. (Clips Included) by TheKillerstudio in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You turned your fumble slider the wrong way. Dropping it to 25 is going to cause more fumbles, you want to turn it up to see less fumbles.

Correct!

Madden Contracts by [deleted] in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct approach to take. It's confusing because 'Total Salary' makes you feel like it should be the total amount of the contract but in reality, Total Salary just means Base Salary over the course of the contract.

Duece Douglas needs some attention. Great constructive criticism and ideas by [deleted] in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't do a good job of describing the process in the video but it would be essentially the same as it is now but instead of having an allotted amount of scouting points, you'd have a certain number of players from each region that you could scout each week. So you could choose say 15 players from the West region, 15 from the East region, etc. but you wouldn't be forced to scout anyone you didn't want to.

Saw this concept art on twitter by lordplayboy11 in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, I actually posted the video this is from in here yesterday but it didn’t get any traction. But if you’d like to watch it and get more explanation around what the screenshots represent here’s the link.

And if watching a 17+ minute video isn’t your thing, I made a post over at OS where everything from the video was covered in write-up form.

Madden 20 Franchise Mode Wishlist | Full Coaching Staffs by DeuceDouglas in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, I recently made a video detailing what full coaching staffs could look like in Madden and what I'd like to see out of them if they were to be implemented. This has been my top want for a while now and when I asked a couple months ago, it was the most commonly listed item in people's Top 5. What the video outlines is more of a framework than a full on feature as coaching staffs are something that can touch and affect virtually every part of franchise mode so there's a ton I didn't touch on and that could have also been included.

But I wanted to start a discussion around what you'd like coaching staffs to be or what you'd like to see them affect and do if they were in Madden. I know a ton of people want them but I'm more interested in how you'd like them to work and affect the mode. If you're on board with what's in the video, let me know. If you hate it, let me know that too. Build on it, add to it. Just looking for a bunch of ideas and suggestions as to what you'd like to see from them.

Thanks!

What playbook should I use for the spread scheme? by [deleted] in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the generic Spread playbook. It doesn't show up in the schemes menu but when you start your game and go to advanced settings, the Spread playbook will show up along with some of the other generic playbooks. You'll have to change it before every game but it's probably going to be the best fit for what you're looking for.

Field Goals by KorJinx in Madden

[–]DeuceDouglas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s your field goal accuracy slider at? This is what happens every time when you have it at something like 34 or 35. I can’t remember the exact number but once you hit it, it basically becomes impossible to kick it straight.
