Overall Thoughts on the game.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I love it, but I still have a few issues. In particular, I don't like how the AI seems to change in the 4th quarter if you are stomping the opponent. I can be winning 40-0 and, all of the sudden, Travaris Jackson QB plays like Peyton Manning, Troy Williamson becomes Marvin Harrison, etc. Has anyone else noticed as much?

It has always been like that Sheriff.

It's one of those cheap video game tricks. Racing games are horrible with that crap. I'll be killing the other cars in a race and all of a sudden they're all right behind me.

Anyone else notice the Giants d-line is unblockable this year? I literally could not run to the left side at all.

Yeah, I've had to put Cooley in motion to the left when I want to run there. Run the Strong I formation, call an off-tackle to the strong side (right), then put Cooley in motion to the left, snap the ball before the defense changes their formation, and allow the RB a second for the blocks to set up. You can't use this play too frequently, but it usually works well. I play All-Madden on 08 and Portis is averaging 5+ yards per pop for me.

Also, I am sure you know this, but change up the plays very often. The more plays you use, the worse the opposing defense is.
