OMG Finally had a 100 yard rushing game

[gabs485]

I'm averaging 101 rushing yard per game. Had had great rushing games with Thomas, Slaton and Westbrook. I think it's way to easy. I might have to move the sliders up a bit. Running games is the best thing about this game.

I feel like I got suckered again by EA's marketing machine into buying this smoking piece of crap. And no, I don't want 2K to put out a new game. I just want EA to do so. This is the third or fourth game this gen and they still haven't put out a decent product when you play a franchise or season against the CPU.

Shouldn't have to do what crap? Fundamental football? The things that teams do on Sunday's to have successful running game? Good lord.

Look, I understand the point of this post. You needed something to serve as a launching pad for your rant, but come on man, complaining that you must use the O Line shift, or run counters, or stretch plays or mix up your running game is ridiculous.

And suckered into buying the game again? Wow, you need some will power man. Seriously.

This what you guys get when you cheered 2k not being able to make a game, and that EA having the exclusive license. What did you expect to happen ...for them to be competent and try and give you a quality product; when they knew you had no other options as far as a another football game. When your the only grocery store in town you don't lower your prices and when your the only football game in town...you put games out with bug after bug after bug, over promise under deliver and dress up a bad game with bells and whistles instead of improving the gameplay. Competition always benefit the consumer, remember that grasshopper. See I might not like Ford or Chevy but they make sure the car i do purchase have to continue to satisfy me cause there's chance that I might go and make a purchase somewhere else. Oh I forgot, there is nowhere else when it comes to Madden. Note: Not about 2k making a game...it's about anyone making a game so they cant do this crap to us year after year.

If we're having that much trouble, why don't we trying turning down the difficulty on our running game? Isn't that really the whole point of having difficulty settings? No one gives a flying rat's *** whether you're running on all-madden or on rookie. So, find a setting that you can run at and quit whining.

yeah this is one of the few things i hate about madden.

if this was limited to only the top defenses in the game or teams who have numerous defensive players with high awareness i would be ok with it. but there is no way the cpu should know every play i pick.

its like every team has Dionne Warwick as thier D cordinator.
