    Yeah man, that tea is something else. The Chinese folks certainly knew what they were doing when they first brewed it all those years ago.

    I always liked the 3D mode better, too, even though I generally prefer 2D graphics when given a choice. But most of my friends/league mates use 2D, so I figured I'd try to get used to it. I don't hate it anymore.

      Well, that's the end of my season. After narrowly escaping Houston in the Divisional playoff 17 to 14, and then escaping Buffalo 5 to nothing (yes FIVE to ZERO) in the Conference title game, I was taken down by Philadelphia in the Tecmo Bowl, 23 to nothing.

      I can't complain because they beat me fair and square. They jumped on a fumble on the first series and never looked back, then Herschel and Randall ran wild, and every time I got into their territory there was a fumble or some kind of crazy interception (okay so the INT thing is a bit of a complaint, lol).

      Anyway, good season, good game. I'll be back for more soon.

        Has anyone won a competitive season? There is some serious BS that goes on about playoff time.

        I got there with Houston and then got creamed by KC...a team I beat during the regular season (I think). Every WR was covered and Neil Smith must have been excellent because every single pass play he was in the backfield after plowing over my OT. I did get across the 50 twice...but fumbled twice.

        Very frustrating...not as fun as I remember when I was 13. Is casual like the old STB?

          Valdarez-Madden was the football game on the 3DO. I bought it for Madden.

            Was it? Couldn't remember. It was awesome for it's time. Controls were a little clunky, but the graphics were amazing. I was a poor kid in college at the time working 2 jobs, so didn't have a 3DO, but I played it at friends house. Speaking of which, I have a little guilt there, as I was only friends with the guy for his 3DO and that football game. heh

              Best thing to do to with out is go passing, pick the pass you can complete even if they call it (which means all shotgun), and run out of bounds before you get tackled each and every time. It's the only way to guarantee you won't get a fumble, which is how the game makes sure the games are tight.

                Playoff time was always jacked up compared to the regular season. Could be very frustrating.

                  Ya I remember that trick from days of old...but it seems even more jacked up on competitive mode. Oh well it was still a blast from the past to play this game again.

                        Downloaded this on PS3 today, and WOW is this game just awesome and a hell of a lot of fun. The CPU AI actually knows what it's doing, and the game plays a good game of ball while still rooting itself in arcade.

                        I just started my Casual Season (so I can play multiple), and what a blast this is. For all you PS3 guys on the fence, spend the $10 and buy this immediately.

                        Oh, and online is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Is it a little laggy? Yes. But after a couple plays you get used to it and it's very serviceable. It's not as smooth as offline, but it still doesn't ruin the fun.

                          Had a blast online tonight with bcruise and Gears!

                          Definitely need to do that again.

                              I love this game (PS3). So much fun. Reminds me of the good old days when we played games for fun. Only time I ever get fumbles if I hit "X" a lot while trying to break tackles.
