Your Questions About Draught Beer At Home

What kind of Guinness would this have been?

Alright so I have been getting Guinness at a local restaraunt for a while now, and now I’m going to pick some up to bring home. But, I’m not entirely sure if the Guinness was Extra Stout or Draught.

I’m rather new to the whole beer world so I’m not entirely sure, I’ve been thinking it was Stout simply because it was pretty much black, since the Draught is described as a Ruby colour?

It was nice and thick, and a little bitter. So it sounds to me like Stout, but I’d like to know for sure before I spend $25 on it.

And while I’m at it, would you prefer the Stout or the Draught? I haven’t had the Draught yet.

with.

What changes would you like to see in Madden 2011?

I am just going to throw out my own little top 10 wishlist here. I am also interested to see what other people have to add or whether they share in my ideas.

Honorable Mention – Commentators: Chris Collinsworth is the suxxor!

10. Crowds: Back in Madden 2004, if a team was not doing well, their home stadium would typically show it when you would look at the crowd filling only a quarter of the stadium. In NCAA 2009, home crowds affected away teams by blurring plays and occasionally, not allowing you to change a receiver’s rout. These are elements that should be reincorporated in every football game.

9. Franchise Options: Why did they do away with pricing options? I use to miss dollar beer days on Madden 2004. =( Was there really any reason to do away with this

8. Spidey Sense: EA needs to remove this ability from defenders. Far too many times, a perfect game at QB can be ruined by a no name defender that is not even looking for the ball who happens to jump about 4 feet in the air to intercept a pass without even looking. WOW! Amazing! This problem has existed in every 3D version of Madden to date.

7. Player Progression: Sidney Rice just had a breakout year at wide receiver. I forget what his overall in 2010 was, but I bet it was below 80. Any takers for a 90 overall in 2011? Now, this is great and all but what if I have a breakout year with one of my rookies in Madden 2011? I drafted an awesome rookie runningback on one of my many 2010 franchises. He had over 1200 yards rushing and over 1000 yards receiving. He had over 25 total TDs. He improved 1 point overall… Yeah, from a 72 to a
73. -.- Seriously? If this back were real, he would have went from a 72 to an 88 at the very least in the next Madden. I am glad that players are actually improving, but potential was a bad move in 2010. I player should progress based on performance… Not potential.

6. Blocking: It is solid, but definitely needs tweaking. I occasionally have my fullback run past linebackers to block the safety for whatever reason. Lineman lag behind halfbacks on screen plays. It is nit-picking, but there are some real improvements to be made here.

5. Fluent Control: Players continue to run like robots, animations take too long to progress (no matter what game speed you have it on), and half of the screen plays are broken because their is a great deal of difficulty in turning your receiver upfield after he makes the reception.

4. Receiver AI: In real life, receivers do not just stand around when they complete their rout… They find a way to get open. In addition to Receiver AI problems, cornerbacks and safeties will fight for the ball. Receivers NEVER fight for the ball.

3. It’s called ALL MADDEN, not ALL BS: Can’t EA make the game more challenging withOUT cheating? Seriously! Every game I have played on All Madden, my receivers were dropping passes left and right. I even had a game where my main WR dropped NINE passes. WTF?

2. Quarterback AI: In real life, a quarterback would much rather take a sack than throw an interception. In Madden, a quarterback would rather throw an interception before taking a sack.

And finally…

1. Coaching AI: Does anybody else get pissed when the computer just KNOWS they are running it after 15 straight passes?
