I'm finding goalline scoring tough - usually get completely stuffed on the run near the goaline. I think most of my rushing td's (6 after 7 games) have come from 10+ yards out!

My problems are usually INT's. When the CPU drops seven guys back into zone and I'm in the red zone I probably throw a pick half the time.

I need to start dumping it off to my RB when I recognize a zone in that situation.

This is me too.

I fear passing the ball playing on All-Madden....because I stink at it. But, I'm slowing starting to improve. I was actually happy to see I was sacked 7 times vs Seattle. It meant to me, I was taking the time to go through my progressions. Looking for the open man...vs panicking, and just throwing to the first guy I looked at.

I'm slowing getting better at trusting my O-line, and understanding a sack is better than throwing a pick. All-Madden level with this '09' game seems quite fair and realistic in how it plays IMO. Normally if I've failed to move the ball...or turned it over, it's my fault. And not because of some superhuman thing the cpu did. I'm sure to lose LOTS of games in my franchise...but I'm really enjoying the now "fair" challenge.

Also for high rookie draft, bears grabber T.Tebow and 97 ovr

I noticed that too with R. Seymour and J. Taylor but since i picked up seymour i see why they released him now. He has made ZERO difference on my d line lol. he has like 11 tackles and one crumby sack after 6 games. My dolphins are still struggling in my second season after finishing 5-11 in my first season. After the second patch comes out and fixes the receivers running oob and the quickdraw QB this game is gonna be amazing!

Right there w/ ya...

Thru 5 games I've thrown 11 picks w/ McNabb to 4 TD's. In two games I did throw for over 300 yards, but I've been making that mistake too in the red zone.

The worst cam against the Bears w/ about 40 seconds left where I was around their 35 and down by a FG. I had two timeouts so I was trying for the end-zone to get the win and threw a pic 6 w/ McNabb...game over Bears win 37-27.

Huh? Are you saying you should score more against the Texans?
