what did you guys expect. They've been developing the game for less than 12 months. seemingly doing so without much game testing outside the walls of EA. It takes one game to notice the glaring problems the game has. man/zone flat coverage is number one in my book.
did you think they would cook up some magical patch at the last minute that would answer all your prayers to fix madden 10?!
of course not.
you got band aids and any adjustments you get for this game will be just that band aids. they don't have time to test "legitimate" code changes, and release it to the public. give it up. wait for next year and hope they refocus their energy on gameplay and not the bells and whistles.
i refuse to buy next year's madden. heck might not buy it until 2013.
