Postmaster General!!!
I need some help!!! How in da heck do you play these things? My son has one and I'll be damned if I know how to play it. He has the John Madden Football game and I don't know how to change teams or make the players do what I want them to.

What am I missing? I need playstation training.

Fellas, send help!!!!:(
 



Shut up, SOGGY!

Wanda Woman, when my brother got a PS1 years ago, I tried to play football on it. I didn't know what to do, so I got the book. That isht looked like friggin' HIEROGLYPHICS!

So, I'm gonna leave that one to the menfolk ... although I do aim to replace Sperm's stolen PS2 here eventually, and I'm gonna get a Barbie game or something I might actually be able to play ... or hockey, because I got pretty good at that on PS1 ...
 
Nita girl, I ain't even thankin' bout SOGGY:D

I can't say let's play that mess...I read the instructions(partially) and still don't know what to do. I told y'all I was technically challenged....that includes video games too.

:lmao:
 
Well here's some tips for ya' Ms. Lady....

When the game comes on, use the scroll on the directional pads (<-- --> ) and go down to exhibition....
Press X....
Then whatever side you're on....use the R1 or R2 buttons to scroll through the teams.....when you find a team you like, (The Saints huh?? ;) ) Press X to select your team....

Wait for the game to load....
Then when it comes to the coin toss press whatever button it tells you.....depending on which way the coin falls....you'll be able to determine if you want to kick off or return, and/or what side of the field you'll be playing on.

When the game starts if you know about football, you'll know the plays. Plays with one straight line and no recievers are running plays.....plays with recievers are pass plays.

In the toggle/play screen you'll press X, O, or Square to pick what play you want....

Then the screen will go to the field.....press X once to hike the ball.....after you hike the ball press X again quickly to bring up your recievers.....each reciever will be highlighted with a their prospective letter for their button....
(Ex. Randy Moss runs down the field left side and he's open.....over him is an X....so you'd press X and the QB will throw him the ball.)

Once the reciever has the ball hold down X to run faster.....triangle to hurdle, circle to spin, and R1 or R2 to jook (fake out the defender....)

When you pick a running play the Qb will automatically hand the all off.....then you'd use the commands I told you above to move the ball up the field.....

Defensense is similar.....I'll explain that later if you can get past the first play.... ;)
 
And you're right about those SAINTS!!!!!

I appreciate you taking the time to post this info SUPAKAT.....Thanks a lot. I've printed this out and I'm playing all w/e long. I didn't know what the R1 and R2 buttons were used for. Now, when do I use the actual control sticks? Do I use those to run, or just keep pressing the "X" button. While reading, the "X" button was mentioned quite often, so I assume this is the main button for er'thang.

Thanks again....Imma get my man to come over and show me how to do this stuff.:p
 
You can eithier use the (left)analog stick or the directional pads....they both serve the same function which is to move the highlighted player around (the qb, reciever, the runner, etc.)

X button is used to select things, to hike the ball, and to use in the pass screen to select the play that X is highlighted over....

Depending on the age of kid you may want to get him a game
that he can build up his skills on. Madden may be a little complicated for him (and you). I think they have Game Stops (video game store) in Dallas. Check them out, you can get New and Used Games. I would buy the used games for my kids while they were still learning how to play, and it was cheaper to get 3 or 4 games versus 1 ps2 game ($50.00). I found that driving games helped the most. All you have to do is press the X to go and
use the <----> button to steer.

Now even my 4 year old can play madden and score on my a$$



:bawling:
 
Thank you for the info

Yeah, my son is 4 also....he catches on pretty quick tho. He's already picking up the Madden game. He has a couple of other games too, but only likes to play the football game. I'll have to pick him up some other ones.

Grab NFL BLitz......it's an easier version of football, that even the "video game illeterate" can play!

Also, grab EABig's NBA Street........it's really fun and the game controls are easy too.
 



Dtown,

I'ma hafta give it up to you on this one. Ain't nothing like a woman who's willing to learn to play John Madden Football. Tell your man that Robber said that he is very lucky to have someone like you, boo. What I wouldn't do for a video football game playing woman.

You can come play with joysticks anytime.:D
 
i dont know warndalyn... As I was tellin flbison, its hard for old people to jump in the game if they werent brought up on atari and kolecovision and NES and Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 and such. Its an evolution. You cant just up and ask Mr Sulu to fly the new Enterprise.

Madden aint a game for button pushers. you should start on a fighting game to attempt to get a feel for the controller and how to control movements. Either that or try starting on NBA live 2002. Football games are someof the hardest to learn.
 
I found a few on the internet....

Anyone that's looking for some codes can go to www.computerunderground.com. they have alot of codes for different game consoles. Band Fan needs to hook a brother up. Somebody posted all the codes for 2001 back in the summer. I never remembered to print them out.
 
Robber,

Thank you brother....I don't have very many patience with the video games tho. I'll play for a little while, then I get frustrated. My son and I are learning together. We played the dang on game all w/e long. I'm still confused on some things tho.

J-State,

I had an Atari as a child growing up and always went to the arcade. Heck, I was just in the arcade on Christmas day at the movies.:D

I'm just a lil' rusty now, since I don't play on a daily basis anymore. You're right, that Madden is hard as hell. Maybe I need to purchase some other games first.:rolleyes:
 
Anybody picked up Grand Theft Auto 3? Man this is the best adventure/action game ever. You get to pimp hos, shoot up wiseguys and bad asses, Carjack cadilliacs, and run from 5-0. :p

Love it, especially the part where the Chinese man runs away from you and you get to beat him up.

You know the prostitues give you extra life?
