last year the comp was good for a run back every game to the point i had to adjust my kicker power to 100. this year hall or moss get me a ST td every other game. this is all on all-pro. over compensation i suppose.

finally played some wii franchise madden 10 football and its pretty sweet. i dont have all the features like you guys (knowing player potential, scouting potential rookies during season) but the wii game play makes up for it. now when i motion to throw it really does do a lob or bullet depending on how fast i motion. the running jukes im still trying to figure out and finally intercepted my first ball last night (which is still hard as hell).

currently 6-2 on the season in all-pro which sucks b/c now i gotta play the slidder game and see if i can find a good competitive balance.

has anyone had trouble using AH and not being as disruptive as you like?
i have auto-sub off but the comp still subs fat albert out when hes too too tired and if you play him when hes real tired he gets injured. heck, it can be the 1st quarter and you can see AH with his hands on his knees in the D huddle.

go Skins!!

Last night ARE got a sack for me. I wanted to upgrade kicker but needed cap space to do so I dropped Suisham and Tyron and replaced them with Gramatica but never got a another CB. So I guess when I was in dime defense at the end of the game the computer subed in ARE for some CB that was tired. I called a CB blitz and ARE knocked out Brees, really weird!

I've noticed weird subs like that too once in a while. Regardless of your depth chart the computer makes odd moves like that from time to time. I don't get it either.

I did too. I picked up this guy. Man, he is light years ahead of Suisham, he has a solid leg. I tell you there is nothing more comforting than knowing that you can connect on 50+ yard field goals.

I was playing the Giants last night (as the Skins) and the computer subbed in Manningham as a CB. lol I'm assuming it has to do with fatigue issues?

I cut his ass during the 2009 offseason. I picked up Jay Feely instead.

BTW. I'm ready for a Madden roster update now that Fincher and Hagans is gone. Time to add Glenn and Mitchell please.

One of my gripes about this game is the players tire way too easily. Any drive over 5-6 plays and your guys are all gassed.

do you ever use the game slider to reduce the fatigue? I think it starts at 50 percent. You can reduce it significantly even during the game

[Jay Schroeder]

My only gripe about the game is I play it too much and my girl gets all pissed off at me and calls me a loser.

I like how they have the custom level of difficulty, I can play all madden level with a little bit easier on the passing against the computer.

Did the fantasy draft for my franchise and have Fat Albert and Pat Williams on d line with Merriman, Lamar Woodley and D'qwell Jackson at lb, no one is runnning on me for shit

Then you have to waste a time out on the defense. Drives me nuts!

I noticed a couple of days ago there was a. online roster update but I'm not sure what day it came out. The biggest noticeable difference was Vick on the Eagles. I already had a franchise underway so it didn't change my rosters in it.

They made Cushing faster that Orakpo in the game, I couldnt believe that

The skins are so much better then this game makes them look. It's just like last years.
