Running can best be described by one word:

[Millennium]

So let me get this straight:

When the CPU shifts to your strong side (which happens probably 30% of the time), it is cheating.

EVEN THOUGH you can use "playmaker" to switch the side you are running to, and the CPU DOESN'T SHIFT BACK, the CPU is cheating.

Maybe you haven't quite grasped the concept of 'overplaying one side of the field', especially if you tend to run to the strong side. But to say the CPU is cheating even though they don't shift when you flip your play is assenine. Does that mean if you play me online, and I shift to one side on a play you happen to be running to the same side, I am cheating?

And, what SoMiss is saying is that both games have flaws. Both games are great in their own respect, but things like CPU QB Accuracy and DB Animations that take them out of the play haunt ESPN while Pinball Running haunts Madden.

Exactly. Jordan, that comment you made really, really makes you seem as if you don't have a clue about these games. It's bad enough you only post negatives (Mr. Negative Ha yeah I know... ) but c'mon... the CPU shifts the line one direction, and I believe 95% it's to the Strong side of the field. That's real football strategy man.. Does the CPU slide the opposite way like in year's past as soon as you use playmaker and flip the running play...?

Didn't think so...

That complaint, IMO, is rubbish...

to the extent of which i've seen it done, it looks like cheating to me...obviously to some they wont see it as a problem...its just something i've noticed...its not that big a deal anyway...if you gave my post some thought, you'd obviously see...i was trying to make a joke of it...sorry i cant compete with all the retired nfl stars on here...

[jordan0386]

your right to an extent...im not a football genius...i just play the games...if something seems ackward i'll point it out...the whole "mr" thing doesnt apply here anyway...as many like to say, its only a game so lets move on

And if you gave my post any thought, you would realized I just clarified for anyone who didn't know you were joking that the issues you were talking about are, as you admitted, in your head.

[jordan0386]

hold on, are you calling me crazy, lol

i pointed something out, a couple posters said its common, then i said whatever...its not about anything being in my head...its what i saw on screen that made me call it out


we can move on...if you want to , of course

Shifting is no problem for me as teams should stack to the strong side. If they overstack I simply use the playmaker to the other side. I really like the run game in Madden on All-Madden. Its totally different than ESPN in that you don't charge or button mash (different not slamming).

ESPN is more hunt and peck for the hole where Madden is make a read and go imo. To each his own.

I like Madden's better and one big reason is the juke move. I feel I can beat defenders one on one in the open field better in this game which makes the quicker RBs more effective. The juke has always been great in Madden and subpar in ESPN.

[jordan0386]

very true...espn gave us over 20 juke moves, and there all wack, lol


i know i know, you gotta time it right, blah...some of you guys are good at it...but when i press down and roll right, the character should do the damn move, and lets move the chains
