When that safety creeps up to the line, get ready to go deep. Wait til the guy gets a couple steps on him, then fire.

Have you tried leading the receiver with the premium passing. I have found this to work in both Madden and NCAA.

Randy Moss shouldn't have to be matched up with a nickleback or safety to scorch his man on a go route with no safety help. Fly patterns no longer work. Period.

I use the Vikes everytime. i complete at least 2 per game. you need to get one on one with a corner. do this by either running effectively or play action passing. just last game online against a dude with TB, i completed one 40 yard and one 60 yard bomb with moss. the key is stepping up in the pocket and waiting till he has a step on the defender. if its not working for everyone thats good because the homos who use to drop and bomb it everytime cant. you have to actually do it like the real players do.

you can't change the default controls. I like having my "switch man" button as the "O" button but you can't change it, it's always "X". One step forward, two steps back as with every year.

My one friend tried everything against me. He's a true bombadier, but he couldn't get seperation on anyone. Maybe he just sux though...heh heh. I'm glad Madden finally makes it rough on cheesers.

honestly, it feels like madden 2004 with small improved graphics and more defensive options.

The animations feel the same as 2004 and it may flow more smoother than espn, but espn makes me feel like I'm playing in a real nfl game with their animations, options, etc.
