Seriously, I have a Bears franchise where I blew up a lot of the team and drafted a QB, but the biggest move I made was signing Bo Scaife as my 2nd TE. I run the play action, boot leg a lot where the 2nd TE comes across the middle, that play is my bread and butter on 3rd and longs.

Btw, what level does everyone play on? I play All-Pro and occasionally All Madden, but I haven't found it at all easy to pass in that game. I am getting pretty good at it, but I do throw an unusually high number of picks. Mostly I rely on the running game and don't plan on throwing for more than 150+ with a few TD's and a pick or less.

I tried it some, I threw way too many picks! I can't keep changing my passing style every time I move up in that game...it seems like on All-Madden if you don't already have a beast QB you're pretty much screwed.

Same here.


Rookie is ridiculous too, scoring 200 points is only fun if you're playing against Dallas.

Yeah the last time I tried a season on all-madden in the first game I threw 3 picks on 3 straight drives. The final straw was when a LB who wasn't even facing the line of scrimmage jumped sky high to make a pick over the middle. Straight up cheese.

lol, yeah I love that. Not to mention it seems like all your receiver's hands go to shit like they're playing hot potato.

Wuss!

I play all pro because its the default for online play. I get used to the speed of the game on that setting so it translates somewhat to multiplayer. If it werent for the online games, i probably wouldn't buy the game every year either, though. Playing through the seasons is fun from time to time, but it gets old quick, and I suck at drafting. I've only ever drafted one great player, a wideout named espinaso or something with a 99 speed and a 97 acc, and he was like 6'3" and hands of glue. His soap has to dominate. He dominates.

I just downloaded the Madden 09 demo off of Xbox live marketplace last night. It wasn't very revealing but I got to go through the process which determines your skill level and against my will I lead the Giants through the Super Bowl winning drive. I was definitely impressed with the graphics, but I didn't get a glimpse of any of the menus, rosters, etc. I highly recommend checking it out. Its worth the hour or so it took to download it. (Its a little over 1gb in size)

Play Me, you can be Georgia, and then we can report back on the board the stats..........Oh yeah Matty, on some madden sights, they have where you can post your Madden and NCAA stat's can we get a board like that, like have one email address, where the stat's come straight to the board, plus the W-L ratio.

I DL it yesterday as well. It did take awhile. Just in case you don't know you can set your Xbox to DL stuff after it is turned off. Sometimes I do this before headign to bed.

Overal lthe demo was kind of fun. I like the skill test part.
