I've been having some pretty competitive games tonight.
I killed the Vikings with the Cowboys 40 to 14. AD had over 150 rushing yards and 2 TDs, but Jackson threw for less than 150 and had 3 picks. I also had 4 sacks with minimal blitzing.
The Pats took it to me as the Cards, 32 to 17. Brady threw for just under 300 and had 4 tds and 1 int. They ran the ball 17 times, which seems about right considering how the game was moving along.
I then had 8 turnovers with Philly against the Packers at snowy Lambeau Field. I was trying to get the Trophy for beating them at home in the snow, and the cpu was just having none of it. I fumbled 6 times and threw 3 INTs, two of which were duck shots from McNabb getting hit. I'm pretty sure the game is programmed to make it hard to beat them at home in the snow because the fumbles were just out of control. I still only lost by 3 though, 35-32.
Please try these out and let me know how they work for you.

Yeah, but in the game it gets completely abused. That's the problem. Once or twice...whatever. EVERY OTHER PLAY...same shit since Madden 06. Ugh.

I played the demo on PS3 and I'm liking it so far, much better than last year's demo IMO, it might be worth a purchase for a change.
Question, how do you send somebody in motion? I remember in the old Maddens, all you had to do was press the down arrow until you got to the selected receiver and then press the right or left arrow to send him in motion, but it seems like they changed that now...

I was playing this at EB and I gotta say some people are overanalyzing this game way too much. I was playing this on basic all-pro settings and I had two great game rushing, 100+ with Ryan Grant and I ended up with 3 sacks as well in my final game, 2 from my linebackers. I thought the o-line was great in both pass and run. Do people just watch every replay or something and then cry about the ai when one bad things happens? It might be in my best interest to just stay away from the madden threads because people are bringing up all sorts of issues I never even noticed.
Final thoughts: I thought it played really well and I enjoyed the couple games I played.

Story time! I had the greatest moment in the history of my playtime with any Madden ever last night again a co-worker/friend. It was Pats vs. Steelers. Close game 17-17. He drives down the field, using good clok management and hits a field goal with 1 second left. Me being a Pats fan, I'm thinking "Just get it into Brady's hands somehow..." but then I remember the squib kick and said "Fuck."
So, I believe he forgot you can squib kick it (it's been awhile since we played last Madden or thought about football) and he does a normal kick off. I'm like "Nice, let it go out of bounds." but it doesn't! It bounced at the one yard line and stays in play. My players are all in a clusterfuck and Alex Smith (TE) picks up the ball?!?!
Then the wildest shit happened! I had a little convo ahead of me that made three blocks and I saw daylight! Smith is a slow fucker though, so two Steelers caught up. NO! Missed trackls! NO! Smith powers through a tackle! I see more daylight! The game goes into roadie run! One last Steeler is gaining quick! He jumps ...slides right off Smith! TOUCHDOWN!
At least 15 minutes of laughing, celebration, cussing and madness ensues at 1:00am.
I have the replay saved as a highlight, but it didn't get the entire play (the start made it epic). I can consider that $50 I paid for the game will spent now.

I'm having a bit of a problem. I can't get the updated rosters into my franchise mode on Xbox 360. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

I had the most obnoxious game today. I was the Cowboys, he was the steelers (what a shock) in a ranked game.
He got the ball first and took up the entire first half on his first drive. He was on the goalline and I stopped him 3 times and he turned it over on downs with 1 second left. I tried to punch it out with Barber but my Oline decided not to play so 2-0 first half.
Second half I do well and take a 14-2 lead. Thats when EA decides to take the game into their own hands. I make a stop and get the ball back and the first play Felix Jones fumbles the ball. They dont even give me a chance to win that stupid mini game and he gets the ball and scores on 3 missed tackles. Than, its Barbers turn to fumble...Messieh eventually scores with 38 seconds on the clock. I try making one last effort anyway even though I know EA has chosen a winner already. Bear in mind I have one T.O. left. I made a play down field to the 40 yardline....my QB than proceeds to get stuck on one of my o-line and forces me to use my last T.O.....cause he cant hut/hike the ball. What a shitty loss...
Why do developers feel the need to go out of their way in developing rubber band tactics???? Fucking hell.

Played a game online against the Giants (13) with the Eagles (10) of course. Was stopped on 4th and inches with less then a min left with all 3 time outs. Guy tried to run up the score though he passed deep balls the first two plays and run it on 3rd. Stopped the clock with 27sec left and D Jax destroyed the Punt Return.

Had the best game I've ever had in video game football today. Steelers franchise vs. Bengals (week 3). (on All-Pro)
Bengals swarm with great special teams and defense make my punt returner muff a kick fumble and they recover it for a TD. Huge blitz pressure on Big Ben, and cause him to loft up a wounded duck as he gets hit, gets picked off and returned to the house. I get 2 Huge bombs throughout the course of the game to keep it close, and bust out a long run with Parker for another one to go ahead. Intercept Palmer to return an INT to the house as well. so I'm sitting comfortable.
Palmer does an awesome 4th quarter comeback working the sidelines, and they tie the game. I get the ball back with 2 minutes left, and then cause a turnover and take it away from me. They fight for every yard to setup a 40+ yard field goal, only to have it sail through but be overturned for offensive holding.
We go to OT, they win the Toss, I stalemate them after a few first downs. I march down, they stalemate me. They get to the final seconds of OT, and bust out a huge pass to Ochocinco to finally get the field goal.
I lost the game, 35-38, but it was such a crazy awesome game.

Picked the game up earlier today. This makes it only the second football game I've bought since NFL 2K5.
Of course, the first I bought was Madden '09 last year, but I never even played it before I returned it, so this still has a chance to be the first one I've played since 2K5. :lol

I was thinking about buying this in the next day or two, but I have a quick question.
I know they continually update the roster and stuff, but next year, when the new version of madden comes out, can you still get roster updates for the 2010 version? Or does online support completely stop, including people playing online, servers and stuff?
Also, do you still have to start a quick online match to update it, and then back out of the game if you don't want to play online? It seems like they should have something in the option menu to do that, because I feel bad doing that

Madden 10 will only update the rosters up to approx this year's Superbowl (Feb 2010), you gotta buy Madden 11 to get rosters updated more current than that, but you can still play online after this and with older versions, Madden 10 I would think should have at least a 5 year shelf-life for online play so ur safe there
I havent found any other way to download rosters than trying to start a quick game like you mentioned, I checked the menus and didnt see anything.
Played a Cardinals vs. Bears game this morning and had some great stuff happen.
I just ran back to back kickoffs for Touchdowns with Devin Hester (ran the first one back, Warner scorched my D on the next series, then Hester ran another one back) :lol It was ridiculous how fast he was pulling away from everyone else once he gets that clean line.
My first ever pass with Jay Cutler was picked off by Fontenot :lol Then Urlacher picked off Warner and ran it back for a touchdown Soon after that Hester just completely blew the game wide open by himself with 2 102 yard kickoffs for touchdowns.
Fun times :lol

If I have to put up with of the worst play by play announcing I've ever heard, is it too much to ask that they both not speak at the same time?

advanced to the playoffs in year 1 of franchise. the seahawks were kept out with a 10-6 records and the skins got into the playoffs at 8-8 (division winner). lolz
anyhow i finished 12-4 thanks to the being the best rushing team in the league. all my qb's fucking sucked (or i suck rather, i'm controlling them), but nate davis has potential.
i got a first round bye and now have to play the packers in san fran. the catch III coming up!
as far as some season ending stuff, there are a few minor concerns. most of the stats look pretty good. the two problems i see are tackles and rushing TD's. unfortunately, EA did not group assists and tackles together, so when you're going for defensive player of the year patrick willis has "74 tackles" instead of 150 or 160. then with rushing TD's i led the league with 16 for frank gore. this # is realistic for the most part but my problem is the 2nd place guy. only 8! this isn't very realistic and shows the trouble with CPU running (i guess even in simmed games its a problem!)
overall single player is the best it has been in years. it's the first time i've finished a season since madden 06 xbox. i hope they release a patch because the CPU flats coverage needs to be fixed. people say this isn't a huge concern but it is. it's one thing to play a human player, we can scheme to get the flats covered or do it ourselves. but when you're playing the CPU, they just don't adjust.
someone on opsports ran tests with the texans using sliders (in the CPU's favor!). all he did was a shotgun play with RB's going out into the flats. he ended the game scoring 84 points and throwing for like 700 yards using this play exclusively. this is something that shouldn't happen (obviously), but more to the point someone at tiburon had to have seen this. the game has been out a week and people already find this stuff
