Yeah I'm on the 360. I haven't played NCAA '07 so I can't compare it, but I did have Madden '07 and this is 100% better than that.

Matty who do you play with?

I started a dynasty with Notre Dame

Notre Dame uhhh? How are you at using the freshman QB Jimmy Clausen?

I'm struggling with passing right now, mainly because of just trying to adjust to the tighter coverages. Guys just don't get open very easily and I haven't been able to hit much deep stuff. I think my completion % is pretty good but I think I've only got 1 TD pass vs. 4 INTs after 4 games.

You know what I've had big problems with so far? Kicking. I've missed a couple of PATs as well as FGs. It's tough to hit it straight. I'm always pushing kicks to the right. The kicking is definitely trickier this year.

With ND what you will want to do it run a 2 back set offense. Use your Tight End like a Tony Gonzalez, get him on corner and flat routes. With your recievers, screen passes are your best friend right now with the inexperience of your QB's. Your top reciever is only 168 pounds so refrain from going over the middle too much, But your TE is your big play man in this offense a steady dose of him and the use of those 2 RB's and you should find very good success.

It is because of your kicker's low accuracy and awarness ratings.

microsoft is protecting you against theft and system shutdown............. if you own a 360 register it and your warranty is for 3 yrs, so if anything happens to it, they will replace it or fix it..............not that cs for your ass

i bought it and im hooked. I started a legend game with a RB and got a 5 star rating in high school and went to Marshall...

I won a starting job before the first game and we crushed miami in the season opener...

then i didn't save. so this morning I tried to do it again, but didn't do as well in high school and chose Louisville over Marshall, but its harder to jump up in the lineup because you have to practice against their D, which is freaking amazing... they're holding everyone to less than 60 yds on the ground and pitched 2 straight shutouts in the first 2 games, so I have yet to get a start, even though I've scored several tds in mop up time in the fourth quarter..

I have like 10 carries for 189 yards and 5 tds in 2 games.. and im 3rd string because I cant run on the Cards D in practice...

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 07-18-2007, 09:36 PM

I am a QB for Florida. And I am 2nd string but me and Tebow get the same amount of snaps, I am a balanced QB,

through 4 games I have

601 yards 9TDs and 0Ints in passing
413 yards rushing 4TDs

3rd in Heisman voting.

BDBohnzie · 07-19-2007, 08:13 AM

My copy was sitting on my doorstep last night when I got home from softball...perhaps I can get a game in tonight before I go nuts on the game tomorrow night...

mredskins · 07-19-2007, 09:49 AM

Ok I am getting it at lunch! I just hate getting burned out on NCAA then when Madden rolls I don't feel like playing it.

BDBohnzie · 07-19-2007, 11:40 AM

That's how I used to be...so I stopped buying Madden...

Mattyk · 07-19-2007, 11:49 AM

If Madden is good, it's the kind of game I'll play all year. Unfortunately it's been a few years since Madden has been any good.

EB Games is offering a $30 credit towards Madden if you trade in NCAA 2008 towards it, but what if Madden blows? Not sure if I want to take that chance.
