i agree and i LOVE that they did this. i love that they just really worked on gameplay and the result is GREAT gameplay. my issue is i cant enjoy or appreciate the gameplay because of what to me is a poor user interface and input system...

for me, strat pad is a deal breaker. it makes me not want to play. everyday i come home, try and play a few games on the demo, and stop at halftime. im sure some will liek strat pad, for me not so much

you could have the greatest game fo all time, but if the contorls and how you input stuff is painful, its not going to be enjoyable.

why cant we have a choice of configurations? madden 2001 i can choose from 4 or 5 sets of controls. why not in madden 10
