The funny thing this is the type of game i like to play when there are a bunch of friends over and we are drinking and the loser gets off the sticks.

But i like a more sim style when i'm playing someone online or in my dynasty

yea, punts were rare in '08. i dont remember ever punting more than 2-3 times in a game at most. most of the time its 0-1 punts a game.

yeah I would remember that my punter wouldnt even qualify to be in the stats leader contention because he didnt have enough punts...mind you I was using offensive juggernaut SMU

The BIGGEST problem with the game last year= pick 6/ints.

Doesn't seem like it's fixed this year. I'm not a developer/producer, but fixing the way DB's react doesn't seem like something that can just be tweaked at the end of a development cycle. Yes, there is still time, but WTF have they been doing for the last 9 months? Adding mascot games?

Hopefully, and there really isn't any past precedence for me to be optimistic, the sliders will actually work.

lol, yea, i guess i should have mentioned i was using Middle Tennessee State in my longest Dynasty. if i was using Texas Tech, low # punts would be realistic.

Looks like many people's fears about the offense being way overpowered were well placed. Maybe Madden will have it fixed.......yeah right.
