Madden Geeks

Who's joining me at GameStop tonight?

I'm still on PS2, but plan to get an xbox soon, and then I shall enjoy* Madden '09 in hi-def.

*begrudgingly play b/c it's the best football game out there, yet year after year it has severe limitations which EA refuses to deal with and which piss me off to no end.

- The CPU knows what audible I call even if my formation didn't change.
- CPU QBs play near flawless even if they're a 3rd string QB.
- CPU doesn't miss FGs.
- My defenders will leave a man and run to their zone even if the ball has been thrown to the area they vacated. They'll run to their zone AFTER the ball has already been caught.
- Players have no sense of sidelines. They'll do a tiptoe catch 3 yards in bounds, and they'll run a flag pattern 3 yards out of bounds.
- when will suction-blocking madness end!?

& so on

You'll be fine once you get off PS2

& so on

Either of you junkies picking up head coach with it?

Man, I haven't played Madden since my roomate's Sega Genesis in college.

nah man, I'm pretty sure they didn't fix all these glitches. It's the game programming itself, not the engine.

Head Coach doesn't excite me.
