Let me start by saying, I love Operation Sports. I think it's so great to have such a large group of people who all love the same thing, sports video games. Yes, we bicker and moan a lot, but that's what makes a community a community. You're going to have your inconsiderate jerks, and you're going to have your mature contributors. When you weed through all the garbage, you find a lot of treasures. When it comes to the forums, the same is true.

Yet another year of Madden here, with a new and slightly improve version of last years' game.

So far I've had a bit of a mediocre start with my Pistons dynasty. I've been experimenting with the difficulties, but I think I've finally settled on the Pro setting after reading This thread. So far, I've experienced some fantastic results from these, combined with Future's sliders. I really feel like I'm winning and losing games that I feel I should.
