I only have 8 madden moments left to complete. The last one (Superbowl Sunday) is ridiculously hard. I didn't think I could hate Jeremy Shockey any more, but then he recovered 11 straight onside kick attempts. I haven't tried it in days. In other news, EA caved in and said classic defensive hot routes will be patched back in as an option "sometime before the start of the regular season". I give them credit for manning up and admitting when something was a bad idea. Every year they throw a handful of darts at the board, some stick and some don't. QB Vision was crap, and the "strategy pad" was too.

Just got my copy of Madden today and I'm loving it. I also signed up for Play N trade's nationwide Madden tournament. Local store games are this Saturday with the finals held the week after. Grand Prize is $5,000.

No question, just played my toughest game so far. It was against Dallas. After a quick TD pass to Brent Celek, Dallas tied it at 7 on their first series. At the half, I was up 21-7. They scored 21 unanswered to take a 28-21 lead. LeSean McCoy tied it at 28 with a 50 yard TD run in the 4th. After a TD for each of us made the score 35-35, I drove to Dallas' 34 yard line where David Akers drilled a GW 51yd FG for a 38-35 win. And in now Week 12, next game Vs. SEA, who is 3-7. Here are some stats.
K. Kolb: 3282 yds, 23 TD/5 INT, 120.1 Rating L. McCoy: 1823 yds, 26 TD J. Maclin: 68 Rec, 1513 yds, 13 TD C. Ochocinco: 39 rec, 578 yds, 3 TD [14 rec, 100-150 yds, 2 TD with PHI. Traded my 2012 1st rd pick for him in Week 9 when D. Jackson suffered a broken collarbone.] B. Celek: 32 rec, 741 yds, 2 TD Defense: 32 sacks on QB's over the season, incl. 7 each for Juqua Parker and Broderick Bunkley.

QB Vision was crap, and the "strategy pad" was too. Little tip - If you don't recover the onside kick. If they go into QB Kneel select FG Block. They will then audible out into a pass play (normally) from there just audible into a cover 2 or 3 and see what happens.

I'm up to my 8th try on Superbowl Sunday, I've recovered it once. I scored, but then I made the mistake of squibbing it and they got a game winning field goal. I have everything else done.

For the first time in ages, I actually like running the ball on Madden. The running game just feels better. And the jukes feel more realistic as well. Love running with Jahvid Best, I tore up the Steelers D.

The game is fantastic, I'm loving it! I feel though that the trophies are too easy to earn.

This game locks at the worst times. I was playing my running back superstar. I rushed for 150 and scored 5 tds, while having 68 reception yards with 1 recieving td, and while it's going back to the schedule screen it locks. .

Welp....12-0. And Jeremy Maclin has set a new NFL record for receiving yards in a season. He is at 1907 yds with 4 games left. 15 TD catches as well. Games have been getting harder, yards are getting more difficult to come by, and after going 8-0 with no picks, Kevin Kolb is at 7 now....so he is human after all.

Etheir you're too beast or you need to change your difficulty, you said you we're playing on All-Pro right?

I hate defense in this game. Nothing works even on All-Pro!

Indeed, defense is terrible, but I've managed to get used to it and start shutting people down.
But I have a question:
Do any of you guys play on a non-HD tv? or not a widescreen? I'm moving into college soon and I don't want to take my tv with me, so either I can take one of our old classic fat tv's or buy a monitor or something. Obviously the monitor would be nicer, but the old tv is free.
So, on an older tv, when you snap the ball can you see all the way to the sideline in the flats? I remember you didn't used to be able to see over the WR or CB over there at all.

Oh, and does spotlighting a player work online? I know you can do it in franchise mode because the orange circle appears but nothing seems to happen online
