Can't wait till it comes out, this will be the first year I'm droping enough on it to get it for my PS3 thou. Last year it seemed all the same on ps2/ps3 so I saved the money and now this year it looks so much better. So ill end up getting it on 3.

I hope you can save in the middle of a game so if the phone rings and your buddy is going to the grocery store to hit on the hot blonde at the checkout counter and asks you to join him you don't have to leave your PS3 running. You can save and go hit on the hot blonde.

Yeah I wasn't that impressed either. The look is great as is the Madden IQ. Personally I thought the Defense was a pain in the ass. I could easily get all madden on offense but it wasn't that simple for D'.
Its nice to see that they actually bothered to put in some effort for this installment. Now I'm sure the next few years will basically be the same thing since EA loves to do a lot one year then go back to nothing the following.
I'm going to wait to read some reviews before I decide if I really want to spend 90 Bucks for a damn special edition. You basically get three games for 30 bucks each if you break it down like that. I have Madden 94' but having an old game on the current gen will be cool. If only we could take that online...
Speaking of online. I hope to God they fixed all that bs that made last year's online play not enjoyable. Cheaters, glitches, stuff like that. Heres hoping that this year I wont have to always face either the Patriots, Colts, or Chargers when I go online. Seriously, why don't people just play with their favorite teams? Online leagues should help fix that for sure.
We'll see how this turns out. I hope its amazing but I'm not sure yet considering that Demo didn't give us crap.

I would never use my team because they were just terrible playing online against anyone who would use any teams like that. I play with the Dolphins. So, if I got a fair match up I would use them. (Fair being not a team like 95+ ovr) But if someone were going to use a good team, I would use the Chargers. But even then it was still awful because the lag just made it suck. But if I don't use the Dolphins my 2 other favorite teams are the Colts and Chargers, so I'd probably called a cheater for using them, which sucks because I'm sure those teams are favorites to some people who just want to use them.

I pre-ordered it last week at Game Stop as I don't need/want the Bret Farve Sports Pick TRU is giving away when you pre-order it from them. And speaking of Madden a couple years back jaff at POA had posted a website where you could customize your Madden covers with ones that they had made. That year I used the Ken Stabler cover, but last year seeing they only had for the Raiders was a Raiders helmet I edited it and made my own of Howie Long... But it looks like that site is now gone and because my computer died a few weeks back I don't have my pattern anymore so does anyone know of a site that is customizing covers for this years game?

Yeah I'm a Cowboys fan and have been since I started watching football when I was a kid. So that is the only team I ever played online and so of course since I had them most people would go for the Patriots which it got to the point that if someone picked them I simply would not play the game. They are as close to invincible as you can get in a football game. No matter what you do a bomb to Moss would work probably 8/10 times. Damn play action plays. But they seemed to fix that problem thank God.
I actually made a list of teams I've ever played and most the time it was those top teams. It doesnt matter though what the ratings are I wish people would understand that. I'm not ashamed to admit this guy blew me out with the Raiders of all teams.
Yes, I was as shocked as you probably are reading that. I'm not a bad player by any means and I'm not great, just your standard player I guess. He was just that much better than me. I lost some other games to lower teams but that was the biggest "upset" I guess you could say I've ever had against me.

I assume it's when you pick up the game, but I didn't order it from there so I don't know for sure. He was in the home green jersey and gold pants.

My team is the Chargers but I don't play online because it sucks plain and simple. The first and the last time I played, it was SO laggy that when I kicked off, the ball was in mid air, then into the returners hands just like that. And I was winning and this guy quit with like 2 minutes left in the game. Pretty pissed.

I don't play online either. I get accused of cheating because of the way I play defense. And I got banned like 4 time.

I like football games, but I'm terrible at them mostly because I don't have that firm of grasp on the sport, so I just sort of randomly eyeball and choose plays and go for crazy passes or plays on 4th down. That's why I can't play online
