I think all the offseason stuff is fine.

My only real issue with this game is that the game play is gradually getting more and more sloppy regarding the kinds of things I do. I like to click on the receiver or DB during the long ball and make a play. In 2006, and quite often in 2005, this sh*t has gotten real, REAL sloppy and stupid. It's like while the ball is in the air you're limited to running around. I can't tell you how many times I click to jump up in the air (my speciality) and grab the ball a ways away from the mark where it'll land, and instead the idiot DB just throws his hands over his head like he's from india and he's taking a basket off his head, OR he just doesn't do anything at all but stand there, and watch the INT take place.

Maybe it's just me, but I used to be REAL good at it after about 45 seasons of Madden 04, and in 05 the WR/DB seem not to respond as well. I just feel it's not me -- I can still land a gold medal in the receiving drill every single time, so my own timing with the buttons and where to be near the football landing mark isn't off.

My sollution is to bring back the mulligans. That way, instead of me flipping out and smashing a $25 controller off the TV screen, I can just re-do the play when I feel I'm robbed off a knock down, or unfairly turned the ball over on an INT that should of at least been a dropped ball, had the receiver done what I intended him to do.
