Hey now at least it isn't the Pats.

Speaking of the Pats, I always thought they should incorporate a Bill Belichick mode. It's like Splinter Cell, except you videotape the defense and the signals during games, without getting caught by the NFL executives.

LOL nice. But the Steelers are a easier team to take over since they got more youth on skill positions.

Re: Pittsburgh Steelers (Madden 10)

So far I haven't tweaked anything except I reduced just a little bit the interception for the CPU.... I've had problems with this forever with Madden.

If I make any other modifications I'll let you know.

Talk about a easy team to take over

They are unfortunately my favorite team Indeed they are an easy team to take over tho... but i'm sure I'll manage to have an exciting season ;o

I'd buy that game

LOL nice. But the Steelers are a easier team to take over since they got more youth on skill positions.

I think it's not whether it's an easy team or not, it's wheter the franchise is realistic or not. I'd rather go 12-4 with the Steelers than going 16-0 with the Raiders...

If you get what I mean


Thanks for the feedback boys, really appreciated.

Re: Pittsburgh Steelers (Madden 10)

Breaking News

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a quick press conference yesterday and announced the loss of two starters for the next couple weeks.

First of all, top wide receiver Hines Ward will miss 9 weeks with a broken collarbone. "It's going to be very tough to replace a guy like Hines. Somebody will have to step up if we want our passing game to work well" said coach Tomlin.

Finally, Mewelde Moore, who also left the game against the Bengals with an injury, will miss 2 weeks with a dislocated elbow. Medenhall will fill his spot. "We know Rashard can do the job, he'll show us what he can do. It's his opportunity to shine a little bit" said Tomlin before leaving the room.
