3 vs 3 Co-op!!

So it's finally here. We all wanted to play against others in Co-op, and it's finally here.
Thanks to Pastapadre for this info!

When online co-op was delivered last year, with
two users able to connect together and face the CPU, that was intended
somewhat as a bridge to an Online Team Play mode that was to come. That
will be delivered in Madden 11 as Gamestop has posted a listing of
features which includes the mention of 3v3 Online Team Play. This is
likely what is being referred to in the trailer as what will “reinvent
the way you play football online”.





With Madden 10 I posted impressions on the online co-op mode where I
predicted this very development for Madden 11 and went over issues with
the mode that hopefully will have been ironed out for this year. 3-on-3
Team Play makes the most sense for a football game. On defense everyone
tends to have a different position they enjoy controlling, or can adapt
to several, but on offense most users will want to control the skill
positions. This leaves the QB, RB, and WR as the most likely to be taken
over. I could see 4-on-4 working well down the line also.





As opposed to other games where Team Play has been successful with
every individual user controlled like FIFA, NHL, and NBA Live, it is
good to see it capped at this number for now. What you don’t want are
games filling up and then people dropping out in the middle of them. The
more users to get involved also leads to more difficult arranging games
and ultimately more potential for trouble in terms of disconnects and
lag or those who could look to ruin the experience for others.





There does need to be something that will attach users to the mode
and keep them coming back to it, whether that be on an individual level
like tracking of lifetime stats even down to particular positions and
lifetime game results or a more team based solution like the EA Sports
Hockey League. If the Online Team Play in Madden ends up being just
one-off games the mode won’t have lasting appeal.

Sounds pretty cool online co-op sucked this year but 3v3 sounds kinds cool

WOW i hope this is as good as it sounds

i mean but how many people would really do it? go try to find a two on two game and see how many people are down, i couldnt find one? sounds cool though, but i wont be doing any 3 vs. 3.

Well, we have an abundance of PS3 players here, and if you visit the chatbox during the Madden season, you'll be able to find 5 guys who want to play 3v3.

if this feature is how they say i will defiantly use it

I hope it doesn't have the same camera angle as this year's co-op
