I do, but I'm strictly offline.

Great game though. I love the gang tackling, didnt relize how important it was to overall scheme of things.

Some annoyences are the ratings.

How can an Pro Bowler with great stats like Romo be a 84, but Vince Young, with shit stats, worst record and didnt make the Pro Bowl be 87. Same with Rivers.

There is a few mistakes I find with the ratings.

Feel free to bash me for this. stick out tongue

I've been a Cleveland Browns fan my whole life and what they did to their jerseys is just horrid. Seriously, who at EA was like "Hey, let's give the Browns a nice set of brown pants for their away uniforms."?

Other than that, great game.

Dont let Botankus know......or he will never let you forget the fact you like the Browns.

Forum, I dont know, some seriously ****ed up ratings. Akin Ayodele was 86 last year, and know moved to 79.....he had a decent year, but 7 point drop is nuts. Also, franchise mode still isnt the same as last gen Madden. Atleast, fantasy draft is back.

Overall, the gameplay on the field is excellent (abit harder, I could play on Madden and win everytime, now, I can barely win All-pro), sack totals are still kinda of lacking but getting better. Good game though and definitly better than before.

Doesn't bother me.

I'm so used to seeing a bad team, that if they ever have a great year, I'll be allowed to gloat. lol

They'll have a great year this year. Great year of giving the Cowboys number 1 overall in the draft.

But if I had to give money to what the Browns will do, I will put them down to go 9-7, not make the playoffs but give Dallas a useless 20th pick that they'll probalby trade away for even more useless 2,3,4 round picks.

So I started my franchise and I generally try to improve my team before I start to play the first season.

So what I did was I traded Terry Glenn, plus 1st round for Calvin Johnson (who is a beast in Madden due to height and speed) and I think I got 5,6th round pick.

Then I traded Ellis, Leonard Davis, Flozell Adams, Akin Ayodele, a bunch of crap guys who are in the 60's but costing atleast a mil each, and a few backups that were making 1.5 mil each.

In the end, I got Al Wilson from Free agents, replaced Adams and Davis for Timmerman and Mike Williams (LT) and I have two first rounders, second, third, 3 fourths and a 6th.

So in the end, I can draft all the spots that have weak players in. It's going to be fun.

Same here, I think they could surprise some people and go 10 - 6 if things go right. Sure, last year they went 4-12, but out of their 12 losses they lost 5 games by a Touchdown or less. So they could have been a 9 win team last year.

I think the first four weeks will determine their season, if they can go 2-2 or 3-1 in the first four weeks with Frye at the helm they will have a good season, IMO.

No way the Browns go 10-6 in the hard AFC.

No way.

One major player will get injured (Winslow, or Edwards), atleast one major lineman will get injured and no QB in sight. Quinn wont do it this year, and Anderson and Frye are a joke. The defense is still crap. 6-10 at the most.

The team still sucks. No offense (I would say the same thing about my team and have countless times)

Seriously, I think 8-8 but still miss the playoffs.

so ive been planning on getting a 360 for a while, and now that madden came out ive been thinking of pulling the trigger. I was just playing a copy on PC though and at first I could of sworn all I did was reinstall Madden 07. The game is almost identical. And the fumbling was a huge issue. To be fair I have only played 1 game so far but there were 6-7 fumbles.

The game is alot better than last years.

On the 360, its pretty damn good. Gang tackling, insane AI for DB's, and much better feel and its runs at 60 frames per second.

PC, I have no idea but I heared that the PC versions arent as good.

Also, fumbles are a big problem, usuallys its 2 per game for pro.

Yeah, even on Pro I'm having trouble running. In franchise, I havnt gone over 100 yards yet.

And Ive only gotten 170 once with LT. Alot less huge breakout runs and alot of 3-4 yards and a ton of stoppages at the line of scrimmage.
