I would be ok, if DHB didn't drop so many damn passes, but he is great after the catch. Murphy developed decently, but he still drops some every once in awhile.

Schilens I ended up trading I believe or just released, don't remember. He wasn't doing anything amazing for the team at all.

I'm a very casual football fan who only pays attention during the season, and doesn't pay any attention to the offseason (I know about McNabb, and that's about it). That being said, what teams should be the most improved in this year's Madden compared to last year's?

I usually let him go as a FA at the end of the season as well I guess. Mostly because he's injured irl so often and his picture isn't in the game.

Oakland will be much improved with Campbell under the helm. Russell would throw such terrible balls and Grads has Garcia type arm strength. Also, they had a great draft with some good young defensive players.

Seattle will have a stronger running game and defense.

Detroit has a revamped D and picked up Burleson at WR.

Just a few off the top of my head

Detroits CBs are still the worst.

Seattle has improved multiple ways.

Oakland's only glaring weakness was QB so yeah.

The Giants secondary and DL has improved.

The Chiefs have improved in the secondary really just with Eric Berry, and Dexter McCluster, and Thomas Jones on offense.

The 9ers should have a pretty stacked team.

The Browns are maybe the best, worst team on the game. Great running game, an option of QBs, secondary has improved tremendously with Sheldon Brown, T.j Ward, and Joe Hayden. The O Line is solid, all they need is a WR really, maybe some LBs.

Same here, after playing MLB The show, i cant get into the sad franchise mode that is madden, way too shallow. Think i'll rent it this year.

With Dono there this year, do you think I should go for another position of need (unfortunately there are many on the Skins) instead of QB? Or should I try to trade the house and get a top selection and try to land Locker/Luck/Ponder, etc. for the future? 2 Should I dump Albert Haynesworth if he's not done by the time August comes around? I feel like I could get good trade value for him in the game, but if he's on the team in real life, it may be unrealistic. Just looking for opinions

Upgraded gameplay? LMAO, its been the same since 06, doubt it will be much of a change, the Ai needs a total rewrite, franchise is so shallow, etc...

The exclusive rights is the worst thing that happened to NFL football video games.
