The player models are a little better & the lighting is slightly improved but there's definitely not a big leap in graphics from last year. That said, the graphics are the least of Madden's problems lol.

what constitutes a dropped pass?

i thought if a receiver gets has hands on it, but drops it/ has it hit out, it's a dropped pass?


i swear in my last game my TE had 5 really clear dropped passes, but when i looked at the stats after the game he was only credited with one.

is that stat not working as it should this year?

If the pass is broken up by a defender I don't think it credit as dropped. Only open drops are tracked.

I've been very disappointed in Madden's graphics for a while now (I did agree that M25 was a pretty good jump). I have to say that I'm actually really impressed this year actually

This game is seriously awesome. It's not perfect but quite great - i can finally pass on APF 2k8!

The running game is much better, where you notice great players can cut on a dime and averages take forever to move. There seems to be a bigger difference this year, and the palyers feel like they have weight!!

At first i thought the aggressive catch was overpowered till last night when i played the cpu and they did it on the first series - later i played zone and let my cpu handle it and they kept going for it and kept haivng it knocked out.

you really have to set up the long ball or have mismatch to make it work- makes it that much more realistic!



They need to have a menu about defensive coaching though. like if i would like to put a cornerback always ona guy i should be able to. I kept manually adjusting justin houston on jamaal charles - which i realize is a mismatch but the cpu didnt take much advantage of it on draft champions. I like the shade in and out but i would prefer if i could shade desean on inside and another receiver on the outside the whole game and such.

Also would prefer more defensive options - such as disguising my cover 2 as 4 and all. I know there are plays that do that but i'd prefer an option to do that.



Overall a very very good game and fun!

Best Madden yet, hands down. Wish they had a better halftime and added a weekly show, but gameplay is great this year. Love Draft Champions. The players are more lifelike in their actions and interactions. Passing and catching isn't perfect, as it should be. Adding goals in cfm gives you short term things to achieve. Great game.

Game had such high hopes, but crashed and burned for me big time. OBJ's catch ruined this game. I used to play nothing but H2H for the most part. That is busted.. I just encountered an opponent who would not allow the game to end. I was up 28-3 with two seconds left and he kept giving a hard count until his O lineman jumped. Did it 50+ times, I let my game sit there for an hour until he finally quit. WHAT IN THE!!!!

That's a user problem though which sucks, but so far i have found myself playing sim players so far. I played someone who wouldn't go for deep shots till it was there as i was playing zone most of the game.

Plus i've stopped multiple aggressive catch attempts by letting my cpu handle it, i think its one of the best versions so far even on head to head.
