Does Madden have the Elephant Formation?

That sucks that you can't lateral. Anyway I haven't to mess around with the other stuff in the game, just pretty much been picking it up & playing it & I stumbled upon some of the attributes. . . .I notice a lot were missing, maybe I just didn't take enough time & I missed it, but there was no "Route Running" attribute, is that so? If it is that means anybody who's really, really fast can be a WR because hands won't matter if you 6-11yds ahead of the Safety. Also I noticed this "KR" attribute I'm assuming that this means "Kick Returning". But does it do. Why do you need that when you've got speed & agility, & (I think) Tackle Breaking? I'm sure hardcord Madden people would know. Thanks.

Who uses that feature "Shade Receiver", & how well does it work?

I do, but only under certain circumstances. My understanding is it only works when the cb is in man coverage. I like to use it when my opponent relies on things like slants and comebacks, it can be very effective in taking those routes away. The down side is that it's a guessing game, and if you guess wrong (i.e. shade your cb inside, and the wr is running a corner route) you can get burned.
