As Roadman said...very well put DC. [in it's entirety]
But I want to focus on this last paragraph. I see things pretty much as you do. I believe this years team did what they could. I think somethings were ohh...embellished a bit
, but overall M10 is at least an improvement. From what I've heard. [didn't buy it]
However...yeah, there are some pretty glaring issues that remain, that can really spoil the game for many. And like you, I really need to have these "issues" cleared up before I invest any further in this gen of Madden.
