    Well whoever said that the days of the LBs ability of leaping over a tall building were removed sure did tell a fat lie! After playing one game of online play, I had that happen to me at least 11 times.

    Passing is incredibly tough. I haven't played Madden for a few years and I started on all Pro. I turned the ball over 6 times against NE in the opener and lost 26 nothing. 5 INT's and a Henne fumble. Even I don't think he's that bad. :lol:

    Exactly. Problem is, Pro difficulty is too easy. I guess I could screw around with the sliders but that's a pain in the ***.

    Yeah you may have to mess with the sliders based on what you felt was overly difficult... I thought I felt good about myself in the demo when I was playing. Then I switched to All-Madden.

    Let's just say I won't be doing that for a while... it probably felt like a normal outing for Jay Cutler though. :lol:

    Forget All Madden for me. Problem for me was that I had no time to throw. Our oline is terrible in the game. I felt rushed and then Henne was inaccurate. I threw at least 4 balls completely over the head of wide open Bush/Clay in the flats

    Throwing against zone kills me. I see an open man and throw, but a second later than man isn't open and it's almost a pick. I wonder if it's due to the redesign of how the defense passes off their zone.

    I played on our first game on all pro. I threw 2 picks in the redzone with Henne. :smack:

    But I also threw 3 TDs with Henne. One on a screen pass to Reggie that he took to the house with 1 minute left in the game to put us up 21-14!! I like the game so far. I really do.

    There are a couple things that bugs me about the game, but its still a good game.

    I just hate how there is 10 yards separation between a middle LB and a slot WR or TE on a streak, and when he should be open, and you throw a quick strike, the LB supermans to deflect or INT the ball. Realistically, that won't happen. If you lob the ball, the CB or S will likely get to it and either deflect or INT the ball. SMH.

    I've encounter a terrible bug. The draFt class bug. I play four years of a dynasty with ncaa 12 and I thought it was odd due to the timing but I save the draft classes when 1st prompts and not after players leaving. Well, line of my draft classes work. Horrendous.....I thought it was odd that they askeed you to save them when they did...but why would they not be ready for this considering.

    I am pissed about this as well. I uploaded my draft class and was going to try and get andrew luck but instead they are random players. Hopefully its a bug that they can fix

    So, wait, you guys are saying that a Madden game is buggy and unpolished? :shifty:

    Hopefully they issue at least one patch not named Madden '13 that fixes these issues.

    So I decide to rent Madden to see if it's worth buying.

    And the servers are down.

    God ****ing damnit. **** you, EA.

    I get a message saying "The EA Servers are not available at this time. Please try again later."

    I've done some searching and it looks like I am not the only one experiencing this.

    I DL someone else's roster that had all the names and everything, yea. Andrew Luck, Brandon Weeden, they are all there. Although Weeden is only 24 coming into his rookie season..lol.

    Hey, i'll take a magically de-aged Weeden.

    When can you start scouting? After I played NE the prompt came up advising me that if I simmed games there would be no scouting. when I tried to scout you couldn't actually select any of players.

    You scout before you sim through the first week. So you can do it before you actually play the game, or after as long as you dont sim the rest of the week. I think once you scout your 15 players, that they actually scout them for 4 weeks. So you wont be able to select a new 15 players every week.

    Oy. They couldn't have just printed an instruction manual?

    Oh well, I'm not taking my franchise too seriously until I can get the real draft classes.

    It all depended on where you saved the draft class. This years there was a prompt right after your dynasty season ended. If you saved them there, your screwed.

    Ignore the first prompt to save/import. You need to do it after the players leaving section of the off-season.

    First season game with Miami...

    MIA - 17, NE - 10

    Henne plays well going 17/22 for 225 yards and a touchdown.
    Bush sports a mediocre 2.9 YPC on 11 carries, but had a 50 yard reception on a screen to make up for it.
    Marshall continues his beastly ways for 5 receptions and 81 yards.

    And Vontae Davis is your player of the game with 3 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception for a touchdown. His pick six won the game for Miami in the last 30 seconds as he had the last laugh against Brady as Captain Clutch isn't so clutch to start off the season in 2011.

    I am enjoying franchise mode thus far, but I'll have to get into the offseason to make a final decision. I am playing on All-Pro at the moment.

    Ok, I finally simmed 4 ncaa seasons and got the draft classes with the real names.

    One thing that is throwing me off though is that (for example) Andrew Luck is rated a 1st rounder but only top 10 (i selected him #5), yet he was easily the best QB in my NCAA game.

    I don't know if each time you load a draft class if it will produce the same results, or what though.

    No. You can see if you can search my name though "Mr Frisch" (no quotations) and see if my locker has anything.


    I have to do some cleaning around the house today, but I'll look more into it when I take a break.

    Well every couple weeks you get the option to scout again. However I have noticed you can't scout guys you have already scouted, but have to pick a new 15. Now I assume that the computer further scouts the other players, but I'm not sure. I have noticed though that it is worth it to scout the 7 rounders and guys who may not get drafted. I found a 91? Overall LOLB who was projected to not get drafted.
