How do you guys play this game?

Let me start off by saying that this is my first time playing Madden since the advent of momentum.

On to my question:

How do you guys play this game? The momentum is far worse than I imagined. How do you play defense with this momentum? I just can't figure out how you can call this realistic football. I love learning curves and all but this game is ridulously unrealistic. I'm even having a hard time finding any redeeming value with Madden. I mean, the graphics are cartoony and completely ruin the mood, and then the gameplay is completely underwhelming, and now the franchise mode is even taking a hit with the roster bugs. Maybe I've been spoiled by playing NFL 2K3, but then again, that game had a myriad of problems, as well. At the least, however, NFL2K3 felt like football, and it was a lot of fun.

Ah well. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking Madden back soon. The problem is, I have a GC and, as you know, ESPN 2K4 won't come out for the GC this year.

On a side note, if a sympathetic, altrustic soul wants to give me an Xbox, please let me know.

You could dive 5 yards in NFL 2K3, that alone takes a ton of football feeling the game. Go to your local teams practice, the defensive coaches will say square up and drive your body into the runner...and only dive when making close contact isn't a possibility...which is how madden works. You could also catch people you have no buisness catching in NFL 2K3...in real football once the offensive guy gets a lane/angle to sprint too they're long gone.

Madden 2004 is way too offensive minded this year for both the user and CPU. Have you not noticed this? Face it, games where each team routinely scores more than 40 points each is NOT real football. This is the problem with this years Madden unfortunately.
