Any ideas would be hugely appreciated I just got home from work and this is a nightmare.

hey man.because you have to install the game after the download you have to have the download size plus thaat amount of space and i believe wen i downloaded today it was almost 8 gb so you would need 16 gb free to download and install sorry man.if it helps i didnt even get through my first game before my ps3 ylod so i cant even play on release day lol

Not checking stats but I'm a bit concerned about the outcomes on the NFC side of things. Only wrote down the playoffs. The AFC seems pretty good though.

Wildcard week
Dolphins @ Texans
Panthers @ Redskins
Colts @ Bengals
Eagles @ Falcons

Divisional week
Bengals @ Broncos
Panthers @ 49ers
Texans @ Patriots
Falcons @ Lions

Conf. Championship
Texans @ Broncos
Panthers @ Lions

Super Bowl
Panthers @ Texans
26-20 Texans

The Giants hired a coach with a white guy for the portrait and he was black in the news feed.

Panthers, Eagles, and Lions making it in the same year would be really odd. No love for the NFC West in your simmed yr either

The run blocking is absurdly overpowered and and the defense still has the "refuses to react to commands" problem, so it's basically a whoever-has-the-ball last game. If I wasn't getting Sunday Ticket out of the deal, I'd cancel my preorder tbh.

Aren't online games played on default All-Pro difficulty? If so, of course the game doesn't play well. Default all-madden is very enjoyable against other people so far and All-madden w/ custom sliders is even better.

I'm enjoying it. But I have one tiny complaint. I moved the Bills to Toronto and in my first game in Toronto I noticed on the score overlay at half time instead of saying DAL 7 - TOR 17, it said DAL 7 - CAN 17.

The guys at Tiburon do know that Toronto is the city and Canada is the country right? It would be like moving the a team to L.A and having it show up as USA or even CAL.

Oh well, small complaint but it bugs me.

All Madden plays well. If they could just patch this game a little bit.

Maybe league play will be better, I suppose.

Not much to add that hasnt already been stated. Im very hopeful that the game will respond well to slider adjustments and we can get a few things tightened up or fixed. Mainly the lack of a pass rush and the wide open gameplay as it pertains to passing. Played a 12 minute All-Pro default game as SF hosting Arizona and Palmer just picked me apart, I got zero pressure when blitzing and it was almost as if Palmer knew exactly where to go no matter the defense, no episodes of missing an open receiver or holding the ball too long, he simply hit the open guy every single time. I will say that my optimism is there for M25 as it seems like the core gameplay is there and some slider tweaks might make it the best of this generation.
