Hahahahaha... you'll have to excuse me, that's one of the funniest posts I've seen in a while.

Thanks Mr. One Post. But is it my fault when my running back fumbles twice in 3 carries? Is it my fault when my linemen don't block, even with the pass block slider all the way up? Is it my fault that my corners, with the defensive awareness up all the way(not trying to cover myself up, it's true), can't cover a reciever for the life of them? And I'm not one to make excuses, never have been. So don't judge me before you know me.

Response is a little on the hardcore side but I agree. You have to have the patience to play the game until you get better, then things will begin to fall into place. Everyone else here was able to raise their level of play. I had a lot of those little complaints when I first started playing both NCAA and Madden, but after a while and after having found a good set of sliders, I was able to have some pretty good gameplay. Heck, I even complained about the supposed "comeback AI," but after I learned, not only how, but that I HAD to make adjustments to my offensive and defensive strategies THROUGHOUT the game, the whole thing has become a myth to me.

Come on man, do you think you have a different game than everyone else or something? If everyone else was having these problems, everyone would be on your side. Think about it for a sec. Just practice and make adjustments or return it to the store and tell them your copy is harder than everyone elses.
Ok, sorry for being sarcastic but seriously, I think it is just a matter of practice and finding good sliders.

I know I have the same game, I just think people MIGHT be looking past these things for some reason. Or they might not, I really don't know. The linemen thing is really the most rediculous... this comes from a lineman: How hard is it to move your feet and get infront of the defender? I guess I'll never know.

I think you are right, I mean I know that I do look past some things sometimes, like when a ball goes through my cornerbacks head or a safety tries to jump for a ball that is way over his head and ends up giving up a touchdown. But most things can be adjusted to or practiced against. As far as the lineman thing goes, do you run the quaterback way back or do you stay in the pocket? Staying in the pocket helps guide the DE into the OL so that he has to get through him and not around. Try to make the DE run through somebody by positioning yourself better as the QB. See if that might help. Just a thought.

I drop back slightly further, but definately not rediculously far. Maybe that's the problem... I dunno.

[koebner]

The problem is that you're in denial.You can't play.

[bgeno]

I told you before, I don't make excuses. If I thought I couldn't play, I'd sit down and teach myself. I thought I couldn't play at first. Then I sat down, played 10 games or so trying to teach myself how to play like I did with NCAA and it never came because I couldn't get over those problems.

Now will you quit posting stuff like that. And again, don't judge me before you know me. You're certainly not making a good impression on me in your first 2 posts. I'm trying to be nice about this, and I hope I am thus far, but posts like yours, Mr. 2 posts, really disappoint me. Thank you.
