Tiburon and EA, you took our advice too far...

[jordan0386]

for several yrs...we b!tched and moaned that we did not want high scoring games in every single game we played...well, you guys answered this by making every game low scoring

i dont think this is what we asked for

i guess the same results can be expected in madden 2005...well the games are still good...but you guys gotta find the balance

The theme for this year's madden is DEFENSE. We're in big trouble. Even West Coast QB's won't complete half their passes.

the thing tiburon did was increase everybody's awareness on defense...the bastard is hard...its like they know where the ball is going before you press B...i like and dislike it at the same time


also...the defensive linemen chaet to friggin much...you cant possibly be a trench fight with an offensive lineman...and just b/c the ball carrier passes you, you lock into a tackling animation with said ball carrier...its ridiculous...

and they break on the line of scrimmage way to fast...where is my four seconds at...its like a blitz everytime...but i still enjoy this game

[SoMiss2000]

what's pissin me off is my receiver can be running a streak and the corner will be in man coverage. My guys is one one one with the safety but as soon as the ball is in the air, the corner who's playing zone has the recovery speed to get back to help the safety and bat the ball down. How real is that.

[jordan0386]

yea, the awareness factors are a problem, to a certain extent

imo, they just break on a ball too fast...instead of letting a play develop...its seems as if the a.i knows to prevent such an action(hope that makes sense)

but, i've noticed toss plays and sweeps are money in the bank, baby!...once you get good angle(which the cpu always has, btw) your good for 7-11 yrds a carry
