This year you should actually have a wide variety of playmakers . Thats why i'll be running w/ the Ravens & Texans most . Then Maybe a scrambling QB such as a team like the eagles or Redskins (eagles for me) & Lastly The Passing Phenom Teams, thouugh i dont think i will be running w/ them alot . LETS GO RAVENS & TEXANS . 49ERS Are Worst Than The Miami Heat .. talk about SUPER team ..

As one who was disappointed with most Madden releases this gen until last year, I'm really enjoying this year's iteration. I'm an offline franchise guy only and I totally see and feel the difference this year compared to last. This is not the same game as '13 IMHO. And on default All-Pro sliders you can get pressure with the DL just fine.

I love the fact they included AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' and GnR's 'Welcome to the Jungle', though these two songs are played during the contests just a tad too much.

Need to adjust a few sliders, but otherwise a solid title this year.

Some of my settings are getting reset in ccm games. I have ball hawk and heat seeker turned on in both my ccm menu and main menu but whenever I play a ccm game they are turned off.

And did they ever get auto-subs working in ccm? I traded in m13 very quickly last year so I don't know but they don't seem to be doing anything in my ccm. Maybe I just need to turn it up higher but I have my rb set to get subbed at 75 and he never comes out of the game.

edit: now I can see that the menu is just broken. Don't know if it's the same in play now but in ccm, if you go to your settings, and turn those settings "on" - back out and then jump back in and they are set to "off" again. The only thing I could think of is if they're disable for all-pro but I doubt it. Also, ball hawk seems to be working so I think the menu is just goofed.

one thing that pisses is me off is how the defensive players can dive like 10ft to make a damn tackle. i missed out on so many big plays because of that

I have both versions and I must say the 360 plays much better than the PS3 version. The Xbox copy is not patched while the PlayStation is. Also the PS3 I'm doing an online CCM as opposed to an offline with the 360. These could be the reasons for the distinct differences or I could be imagining things, but something feels off in the PS3 version.

I think the patch and download of early messed up PS3.. I am going to redownload without patch and test out

Another cool thing. Played in heavy snow and during the cut scenes you can see players kicked up snow where it has built up. Wish that was more incorporated into the actual game play though.

EA must penalize players with lower "Return" ratings because I was playing as the Bills against the Dolphins and Don Jones ran down Marquise Goodwin from behind. With a 3 yard cushion no less. Now, Jones is no slouch as a runner but Goodwin was an actual Olympic athlete and is tied for the highest speed rating in the game. And it was his first play.

Just pure BS. Jones runs 50 yards, engages in a block, gets off the block, and runs down an Olympic track athlete from behind.

Sounds legit.
