Yeah I upgraded at center too, a good OL definitely makes a big difference

You have to turn it on though.

I wish EA would update like MLB the Show does. I hate the once every couple of week crap they do. I mean I know a lot more stuff happens in baseball, but would it really be that hard?

thanks angry. can you explain. sorry if i sound dumb but i was playing the wii version the past couple years (where i would dominate on all-madden) and there is alot more to the PS3 version.

i know there is an option to turn on or off the "auto-sprint", is this waht you mean by turning it off or on. so by turning "auto-sprint" off, i can press R2 for sprint?

i really like how you have to get rid of the ball on time or you get sacked or miss your window. with wii you could drop back, avoid the rush pretty easy and just make ridiculus passing plays.

Yes, the option has to be on for the R2 button to work.

On, off, whatever it is I don't use the sprint button.

Yeah OTM, if you turn it off, R2 will become your sprint.

Once the regular season starts the updates will be much more frequent

why not? most good RBs definitely turn it up at the proper time

Locomotion just feels more real and does it as well...as you said "at the proper time" No need to be sprinting right into or past your blocker.

I don't even miss the sprint button now.

I was like WTF at first but now I feel the same way you do.

I took a break from Madden this weekend and played the crap outta NCAA '11 instead. Gotta say it's a great game and I'm giving it the edge over Madden. Makes me realize just how lacking the franchise mode is in Madden, Dynasty mode is a lot more fun.

Anyone got any tips strategies for d lineman. I usually control a linebacker or d lineman when im on D. it seems like when i push the R3 left or right to do a finesse move to that selected side I dont get any separation or break the block.

pushing up on R3 usually does the spin move which I end falling down on half the time. pushing down on R3 does a power push type move which is minimally effective.

i have been trying to break away from blocks without having to use the R3 stick (just trying to move the d lineman left or right after teh snap and try and get around the blockers) which has given me some success.

is there a button/move you can do to break blocks more consistently? any tips?

I usually control the safety but when i am rushing with a d lineman i usually use an outside rush with a spin move.
