Sure, and then their ratings drop...

Just figure out which ratings drop and edit them. I plan to move Bengals DE Michael Johnson (72 overall) to OLB in my 3-4 and I am going to do what it takes to make sure he is at least a 69 at the new position.

Let's wait until after August 14th before we make that statement.

I know of another member from a few months ago tried to tell an EA employee how to work and they received a mini-vacation from the Madden forums.

Just an FYI.

With respect to your statement, I don't think what he said can be said now, let alone 8/14. My take on things is this: with Madden 10 looming, we'll be able to separate the guys who are hoping the game continues to improve and the ones who just belittle the game for the sake of doing so. To call Madden 10 simply a roster update is extremely one-sided and clearly there's a vendetta there.

Honestly, how can anyone say this is just another roster update ? Presentation, Pro Tak, an actual pocket to pass in , graphical enhancements, refs , and on and on... Its ok to hate EA but when they say this is just another roster update thats just flat out not true... And it makes these people look rather small and foolish..

Well that's just it. Hating EA is sort of a cultural phenomenon across several sports videogame communities. Not to say the discontent is not warranted to a large extent, but having disdain for EA sort of became the cool thing to do. I sort of came in on the middle of it I guess (post Madden 08 is when I started posting on forums). It's like a philosophy that some people abide by. Not to mention, some have made a name for themselves as being negative or haters (I hate that word).

But I think in the next year or so, the theme of some of these guys is going to change. I'm interested to see the mood of the community post Madden 10. Besides a lot of wishlists and stuff post Madden 09, the overall tone of the OS community was skepticism and pessimism (is that a word). Madden 10 should prove to most folks that Tiburon is for real; with the training wheels off and most people on board, the community interaction should be even more valuable in the next few months having understood this game is really on the right track.
