I understand what the OP is saying...if you are a video game player and only one company makes the game you like, you are not held hostage to buy the game but you have to find a way to like it. We have been beta testers for years on the next gen games so it's almost to be expected. I think patches almost make producers more lax because they know they can fix it later.....as far as the game goes, i will hold my judgement on some things because i've only had it a few days. I will agree that there are overthrows that don't make sense and a lot of running plays are blown up in the backfield. I blow people up in the backfield, they blow me up. Maybe I need to spend more time with sliding protections, etc. Passing to my outside receivers seem extra hard to me. I use S.Carolina and I try to run a number of different routes with Alshon Jeffery and he has a hard time getting open a lot of the times which should not be the case. I'm not saying he should be open every time but if he's an impact player i should be able to get some sort of seperation. I like how Madden 11 did the route running last year. Even with not so fast receivers like Reggie Wayne and Wes Welker, their route running was high so they were able to get seperation. NCAA needs to implement this somehow so that it'll be somewhat easier to get the ball to your possession receivers.
