I am tempted to pul the cellophane off of the package very slowly right now.

Really? I just went into my local gamestop and picked up my copy with no wait. It really shouldn't be that hard to fine. Anyway great game but I need to get a 16:9 TV.

Edit: Just finished my first game online and now I'm convinced that most people that play Madden are idiots when it comes to the game of football. I was beating the Falcons as the Redskins 28-9. People continually go for it on fourth down in the most ridiculous situations. The guy I just played went for it on fourth and 21 in his own territory (courtesy of an Orakpo sack). Between this and last year I can only conclude that many people that play Madden, as with many sports games, try to exploit instead of playing realistically.

Also somewhat dumb move on EA's part but they have videos in the lobby for online play (which is pretty cool) and they're showing 360 footage when I have the PS3 version of the game.

As far as playing with the Redskins heres a few quick notes:

- Fatigue plays a huge part in this game so ie don't give Portis the ball 10,000 times in a row. Learn to settle for 5,000 times in a row. I also tried to give Haynesworth a few rest (one or two series off) and by the 2nd quarter I had numerous D-Line packages courtesy of the quick sub option.

- Injuries are way to frequent in this game. It'll probably be one of the fist things to get patched up but this is another reason why you should be careful about feeding players the rock. FIFA had a similar problem last year in that referees carded way to much. Shortly after the problem was patched.

- Devin Thomas is awesome in this game. If I didn't know any better I'd say he was easily a high 80's player. As we all know though Mr. Thomas finds himself in the low 60's.

- Learn to play with the D-Line especially if you suck in coverage like me.
