i agree with everything said. but the thing that annoys me most, and the reason i have quit playing madden now, is the AI. the best example is when you run crossing routes and the receivers get stuck on eachother, or they get stuck on some LB just sitting there. or even on the ref sometimes. another example is when a DE is going zone, and my WR is running a post. wr pivots 40 degrees to start his slant, but gets caught up in the DB whos going in a zone and gets thrown off route, trying to get past this DB. i throw the ball in the midst of this, and the ball flies right by my receiver. ok, no big deal, def. pass interference right? no. no penalty, nothing. because the AI is dumb it doesnt recognize the pass interference because there wasnt any technically, the ai just got screwed. things like this happen constantly. and how does some DB dive 7 feet suddenly to bat away a ball. or why does my receiver just stand after his there with the DB in front of him while the ball is in the air. these guys need to be SMART, a receiver as dumb as the guys in madden wouldnt even qualify euro league... it is extremely annoying. if the ai got fixed then the game would actually be fun. also, how does a 5'11, 89 speed 73 jump CB keep up with my 7'0, 99 speed WR and then jump 6 feet in the air to knock away a high lob right over the top of my receiver's head. all this is why i dont play anymore. cheers.
