What a shame they included that clown of a president in the game. Although I'll give EA credit the whole superbowl win celebration stuff is pretty cool!!!

I can't decide if I want to pick this up or not. With having NCAA already, Halo in about a month, and FIFA in a few, that's a lot of gaming with not much time :(. But it would be nice to take Cleveland to the top :)

I just got it and played a couple games. Here's my review:

It's Madden 10 with horrible features you can turn off. Unfortunately, you can't turn off the new Strategy Pad, and believe me, it sucks. There just isn't time to make any defensive adjustments.

Ive heard because of all the complaints they may offer a patch to change the s-pad...but i agree its impossible to make multiple shifts on D. People who say it isn't slower are liars.

I simmed to the second season just to import a draft class. I drafted Cam Heyward in the first round, B. Rolle in the third, Homan in the fourth, and Sanzenbacher in the seventh. Heyward's started from day one for my Browns franchise.

The game is definitely fun, there's no doubt about that. This year NCAA gets the win, though.

So, where do I begin?

"Strategy pad" - Terrible.

Superhuman linebackers - its worse than NCAA

defender pursuit angles. - played one game last night online, one. I was the Eagles, he was the Vikings. The second he saw man coverage on AP he dumped it out to him. Every time the linebacker could never get out there. The worst part? The guy was awful. Possibly one of the very worst players I've come across. But even an athletic OLB could not get out in time, regardless if I moved him to the side AP would be coming out on. Not only that, but defenders would just stop once the ball was thrown. Ok, maybe not 'stop' but they would hesitate in such a way that it was nothing but big gains.

I even put a fucking Safety on AP and the same shit happened. Brief hesitation, coupled with the fact that apparently its impossible to make a solid open field tackle at all.

AP finished with 12 receptions for nearly 200 yards.

Look, I'm not a Madden god, but I was 96-42 in 10' and 109-58 in 09', I know how to play the damn game and what should work against what.

NCAA won't let you get away with that shit, so what exactly has happened in between the realese of that, now this?

Very frustrating. The deep ball is back too. Seems like recievers come down with the big play in single coverage (against Pro-bowl CB's I might add) more than they miss them.

I'll try a couple more, maybe it was a fluke, but I really dont like what I see so far.

Tackling is a bit harder, but that can probably be fixed with a slight slider tweak.

I'm really starting to like Cleveland's running game. They can't pass worth a shit and their defense sucks, but running Harrison behind that o-line is fun as hell.
