Not only do I get a ton of injuries, which I don't mind cuz it makes it more realistic and gives the backups a chance, but why to the star players? I had Marshall and Hartline go down. Next game I lose odrick, wake, and Dansby. Also why the hell did they get rid of IR? I have to keep cutting players just to players to meet the minimum requirements

Marshall, Hartline, Bess, & Turner. They're probably holding out until roster update #3 (usually comes directly after final cuts are in) since there isn't a clear cut on Turner, Wallace, and Moore, and Turner was already created.
Does anyone play online? I swear my games are always in the 50s. My defense (basically no matter who I choose) is a wet napkin but my offense (also basically no matter who I choose) is unstoppable. It seriously comes down to one stop either way (usually cause the QB made a bad throw on 3rd or 4th down or something) and my games are usually in the 50s both ways. At least 40s
Hopefully someone can help me! Where do I have to enter my online pass code (I'm on PS3)? I'm also getting a connection error right now, is it because I have not entered the code yet or are the servers down?
I'm definitely a casual...I'm hanging around 9's Although I tend to run 12 minute quarters with 15 second run offs (give the defense a little more realism on stats). I don't mind that the games take a little longer to play. Also, it helps get proper carries for my running backs (even Cobbs gets a few carries in a game). One thing I got to work on is getting balls to my #3 and #4 WR's. Bess is only getting maybe 2 catches a game because I focus too much on Hartline/Marshall/Fasano and a LOT of throwing to the backs. Heck Polite's caught 4 TD's in 3 games so far lol.
Bess is absolute money in the slot. Now I only play online but with all the cheeser defenses out there Bess is super reliable.
They're reintroducing the old style hot route rather than statergy pad and fixing the broken tackles - I think I also read somewhere that you'll get a choice on whether you want auto sprint..
Week 1 roster update is up. "New" Dolphins: WR Roberto Wallace - 56 overall WR Marlon Moore - 53 overall LG Joe Reitz - 60 overall RT Pat McQuistan - 69 overall RE Clifton Geathers - 57 overall LOLB Bobby Carpenter - 68 overall MLB Micah Johnson - 56 overall ROLB Ikaika Alama-Francis - 72 overall (rated higher than Koa Misi) CB Benny Sapp - 69 overall RB/KR Clifton Smith wasn't added to Miami's roster, but luckily he wasn't removed from the game like most of the cuts. He's sitting in free agency. Cory Proctor, Robert Rose, Jeremy Parnell, and John Denney (of course) are missing from the game. Side note: Jason Allen got an overall bump to 71.
Funny thing is the last game I played before the update, I was abusing a guy playing with the Jets with....Pat Turner Wasnt really my intention, he was shutting down Marshall after I used my money plays a few times with him. Pat surprisingly doesnt totally suck in Madden. He wasnt the fastest guy out there, but he actually could break tackles fairly well against corners. Now we get a couple 50s to replace him . My 4WR 1TE shotgun set is going to be worthless it seems. I guess Ill have to throw more to Hartline in those situations, as Bess seems to be cursed with Fumblitis in Madden. Atleast for me.
They only did everything that happened on final cut saturday. Just like we still have Grove but not Proctor. Adding Smith from FA takes all of 2 secs.
Moore caught a 42 yd TD pass for me at the end of the 1st half in my game against the Bills. He just busted open down the seam, got the ball like 27 yds deep and outran Whitner to the endzone.
Eh, he's the #6 DB on my team at the moment so I didn't even notice. I just put everyone else above him without thinking about it. I mean they have Haynos in FA too, as opposed to on our IR.
I just can't get into this game at all. Hoping as the season has arrived it might motivate me to play it. Have never felt this way about Madden before.
I guess I can't play on "my skill" because it not only make Adrian Peterson untackleable, but it also means no one on defense can shed a block without being thrown to the ground first.
Apparently, they patched it so Strategy Pad is "optional" but I still find myself giving away my audibles in multiplayer. You can see what the audible is if you're in the room. You can still literally just read your opponent's audible which IMO defeates the purpose.
For those of you playing online, with the newest roster update our best KR seems to be Moore. Ive gotten a couple TDs with him, he seems to be decent. Im usually just too paranoid to have someone handling returns who I plan to use in the standard offense so it works out well.
Madden Week 2 roster update is out. Here's the Dolphins updates: Clifton Smith, Corey Procter, Robert Rose, Erik Walden, and Lionel Dotson all added to roster. Brandon Marshall carry increases from 67 to 74 Brandon Fields increases from a 67 to 71 Koa Misi increases from a 71 to a 73 Cam Wake increases from a 73 to a 75 Karlos Dansy increases from a 90 to a 91 Joe Reitz, Jake Grove, Clifton Geathers and Micah Johnson released Clifton Smith moved to KR1 and PR1 on depth chart Reshad Jones wears #20 now http://maddennfl.easports.com/news.action
