He is no longer a guy that just returns kicks and has that 100 speed rating. He is now a full time WR or at least closer to it than last season. He will probably be the team's #2 or #3 WR. I think the only cheesing is when people place players at WR that don't even play WR at all. (Terrance Newman, Champ Bailey, Raiders CBs, and etc.)

im also from Chi-Town and couldn't agree more. ps: look out for Earl Bennett and Matt Forte

Haha I have a feeling using the Bears this year will be rough. Thank god I hear that defense is stepped up a notch in this year's version because I'm pretty sure all Bears fan will be praying Defense and Special Teams to be making the plays for them.

That's not real football and I HATE d**k riders who aren't even real Bears fans, but use them on the game to cheese with Hester! If you're a Dolphins fan, PLAY WITH THE DOLPHINS!!! We all no they suck, but find a way to win with them if they're supposed to be your favorite team! The bears have stunk for a while but I play with them no matter how bad they may be on the game! I'm a real fan! Make some trades and solid draft picks, and by season 2, you should be able to put some Ws together with the fins. DON'T PLAY WITH THE BEARS 'CAUSE HESTER HAS A 99 SPEED RATING SO YOU CAN CHEESE YOUR WAY TO A WIN. F*****G LAMES!!!

I couldn't agree more. I play with the Steelers almost 95% of the time because I do like to try and get a win online with EVERY team at least once. I honestly don't understand why people can't play with their favorite team regardless of the teams overall rating. For example when I'm playing MLB 2K I constantly use the Pirates online and they're ranked like 27 or 28 out of 30 as far as power ranking goes. It's really disappointing that people are afraid to play with their favorite teams online simple because of ranking.

There's nothing wrong with Hester as far as I'm concerned and I'm well aware that Hester is developing as a WR. None-the-less it's no secret that people use Hester's speed ability and have him run fly routes constantly. If people want to use Hester to run Dig routes, out routes, quick slants, screens ect then I'm ok with that. It's the people who abuse the engine that I'm not ok with.

Unfortunately there will always be people who abuse the engine. It always seems like the first month or two, it's very enjoyable to play online. This is mainly because people are still trying to get a feel for the game and have not found the glitches yet. 90% of the games are legit, and pretty fair. But after that time period, all hell breaks loose and online play is a crap shoot of fair players vs. players doing ANYTHING to win. I'm somewhat excited about the new online league option because this is where serious/fair players can gather. My GT is BoilerBri07 and my pet peeve is glitchers/cheesers and anyone that doesn't play realistically. Hit me up if you're the same and maybe we can do a league together or something.

Online gaming brings an unknown element. In Sports games, like Madden, you never see guys pick up 'regular' teams, so when facing the Colts or the Pats, its already a chore, on both sides of the ball, add to that , this user is calling the same two plays over and over, do these guys realize that its a 45-50 min session? How can you call the same 3 plays for an hour? how many times do I have to face some guy with Dual HB, calling FB dive? Or Brady in 5 Wide for an entire game? I think the these kind of guys play online to MAKE YOU QUIT, THEY DON'T PLAY COMPETE. They want to have you cursing in your living room, and quit so they can play the cpu and rank up. If you call Quarter DB Strike all game, How's that a simulation of football. And thats the problem. Too many gamers play online UNPREPARED AND RESORT TO THE SAME PLAYS THEY BEEN BEATEN WITH. There's no originality anymore. People specifically post questions online asking for Nano blitzes, Double WR Screen. I rarely see posts wanting to get a better understanding of down and distance. Another problem with cheesery is the 'run to no.1' How can you chumps claim you're the best when you use a NO.1 team? In NCAA right now, you see people boast they are the best and they use pure top 5 teams. Where's the integrity? I have used the Jets almost exclusively online since Madden 05, and they haven't been near the best team to use, yet my opposing user always seem to need a team rated 10-15 points higher than my team, and they scroll thru the teams looking for just the most UNEVEN match they can put together. No class. Or the quick switch, they stand on the team right before the pats, and when you press start on your regular team, they switch to pats and press start. Now you have to either quit or get your brains beat in. Whats up with you MEN and BOYS? Not too many girls playing Madden or are you all girls? You are better off getting to know a guy on GTA4 or COD4 and then play him in Madden, Instead of quick match or lobby challenges. BIggest madden Cheese is still Randy Moss, followed by the Mobile QB, and third is Nickel under smoke, that play should be banned.

Like someone said earlier in the thread, when I see any cheese, I immediately quit the game, because it's not fun.

I played two guys at once one time on APF 2K8. They ran flea flickers the entire game. When I knew they were doing it, I ended up getting 5 or 6 interceptions, which is very high for All-Pro Football, and they ended up quitting on me. **** happens, got to deal with it. If something is there that is cheap, and people want to win so bad, they'll take it.

Very true. My GT is AftershockFx. I already sent you a friend request. I'd definitly be interested in a league of all sim players =).

I think the #1 cheese in madden 08 were the tall receivers like moss and burress who had the unstoppable jumps that was really difficult to defend against.

the #1 cheese in ncaa 08 had to be the players who scrambled nonstop wit white or tebow or ran back 20-30 yards and threw deep all day which is still a problem in ncaa 09
