- I finally purchased Madden '92 and although it is *very* similar to Madden '92,
- I am a football fanatic, so I liked some of the improvements, like the coin
- toss, and the addition of some of the better teams to ever play in the NFL (I'd
- like to see some AFL teams in the Championship edition because some compared
- very well to NFL teams at the time).
-
- Anyway, here are some of the problems that I found with this cart. Note: I
- have a 1st edition cart. For one thing, this game crashes entirely too much
- for me. Not as much as Bull Vs. Lakers does for me, but still enough to piss
- me off. I have yet to play a conference championship game without at least one
- crash. Another problem is the passing game. On too many passes, my receiver
- will catch the ball and then stand there with his hands in the air, unable to
- move for a couple of seconds. Unfortunately, the defense does not also have
- this problem, and this eliminates some plays like the screen pass. When I punt
- the ball, there are two pauses in the game when the ball is in the air. It
- does not hurt the game play, but it is fustrating watching the whole game come
- to a complete halt for a moment. Fourth and final major problem is that
- sometimes my stat screen after a game was garbage, completely unreadable. AND,
- after some championship games, I can see my playoff stats, other times I
- cannot. Has anyone else experienced any of these problems? Or is it just my
- cart or even my system (though I can only slightly imagine how that could be).
-
- Other little annoyances: In one game, one player turned into a shadow. You
- could see like a reflection of him on the field, but only his star existed.
- The field goal sequence stinks now compared to Madden '92. The post are some
- short you sometimes have to hope the ball went thru. I thought this was pro
- football, not college. Once, my ball hit where the goal post and bounced off
- where the post *would* have been, if it went higher ie. the ball bounced off of
- air. And, the crowd really looks stupid on these kicks (compared to the SNES
- version) and interferes with gameplay, causing choppiness on both field
- goal/extra point kicks and some touchdowns.
-
- Absolutely *none* of these problems are apparent on Madden '92 (though it does
- crash like twice a year on me) and makes what could be a pretty decent upgrade
- disappointing. If anybody else has experienced this problems, please let me
- know. This is the second new EA Sports game I have purchased this year for $60
- and both have crashing problems, with the Bulls Vs. Lakers being unplayable
- most if the time (full game any time length). They'd better get it together; I
- don't plan to drop another $60 on a game that does not wanna work and have to go
- through tons of trouble and telephone calls to EA to get satisfaction.
