good to hear! btw your posts are what made me get the game 2 days ago. I downloaded the patch and I have been enjoying it tremendously even with its shortcomings. I plan to start my franchise this weekend and hope there will be no freezes. Until then...having fun with the best Madden in a LONG TIME.

I was wondering if some people would post their sliders they use for their games? I am just curious if people that are having problems with the cpu running and robo qb (which i have yet to fix, just put that slider down to 2 dint play a game yet) cpu running slider i have at 18 and it seems much better good maybe a little high yet.

Thank you for assuming that I must be an idiot when it comes to football to enjoy Madden '09. Its greatly appreciated. I think the problem is that people think that I believe the game is perfect, which couldn't be further from the truth. There are things that I don't enjoy about Madden, that irk me, and things that aren't here that I wish were. The thing is, I don't dwell on these issues. Despite its shortcomings I can still enjoy the game. And despite what many may think, in my opinion the game does a good job of simulating what I see on Sundays. Now maybe that puts me in the minority, but that shouldn't make me an idiot or my opinion wrong. Every game has its shortcomings. Granted some games have more than others. But what someone has to ask themself is whether despite these "limitations" can I still enjoy the game? For some its yes and for some its no. Neither side is wrong. Its a matter of opinion. Take care.

This is true what you write and why i buy madden year after year. Yeah it has flaws in the ai and the cpu doesnt always play the way i'd like it to. It's missing features like certain highlight things and halftime shows and sideline stuff like nfl 2k5. Madden just gives me that feelign of what i actually see when watching games. The plays, the animations, the control. Madden is a good game and I like it and enjoy it and don't get too bent over issues with it. EA has always had this knack of capturing something in sports games that other developers dont necessarily.... 2k games imo are very good as well, and seem to be tighter and more fine tuned as far as teh ai goes. The graphics also tend to be a bit better. nba 2k9 is much more refined than live and a better game, although live looks pretty good this year. Unfortunately Madden is all we have to choose from for football titles. I do think EA has a monopoly. The same can be said pretty much for 2k and nba 2k9 though. They put out the best nba game and pretty much dominate that market right now. I'm not saying it's right or the best case scenario but it is that way unfortunately.

Do you even know what a monopoly is?
